Michael Jackson is the latest musical icon getting the star treatment on Glee, and from the looks of things, the New Directions kids have been doing their homework when it comes to the songs, the moves and — just as important — the outfits Jackson made famous.

Other iconic looks include the red leather jacket and pants from "Thriller" (Artie), "Smooth Criminal's" white suit and fedora (Tina) and the "Bad" black leather ensemble (Brittany).
