Photo of the day: Moonwalking to remember Michael Jackson

The legend, and style, live on through his fans: Shemar Williams, 8, imitates Michael Jackson's Moonwalk outside the Apollo Theater in Harlem on Tuesday. The deceased pop star first performed at the theater at age 9, and as he reached his prime, Times fashion critic Booth Moore notes, Jackson's "black loafers, white ankle socks, rhinestone brooches, cropped military jackets and fedoras" were known to fill many an '80s youth's closet.
