"Yesterday&amp;#x27;s very touching service in memory of Michael Jackson was a predictably star-studded affair, and his family celebrated his life by wearing the clothes of one of his favorite designers, Versace. Janet, Rebbie, and LaToya, above, all wore sleek black Versace blazers, pants, and skirts--word is, Janet contacted Donatella Versace personally to request the clothes as a tribute to her brother--and all of the Jackson men also donned Versace suits and one sequined glove each. While some may find worrying about designer clothes for a funeral to be totally gauche, I think their sartorial salute is exactly what Michael would have wanted. I also think there&amp;#x27;s something incredibly elegant and understatedly beautiful about mourning clothes--remember Jackie Kennedy at her husband&amp;#x27;s memorial?--and these all-black suits and dresses feel especially so. The sophisticated hats, the cinched waists, and the ladylike accessories all seem totally appropriate and as glamorous as the King of Pop himself. What do you dolls think of the Jackson family&amp;#x27;s Versace tribute to Michael? Did any of you tune in to the memorial service? What did you think? Discuss!
