Proud mum Carol Parsons said Micky and his band mates had their suits specially made for the premiere event.
She said: "He was so ecstatic about going – he loves films and he always wanted to be a film director when he was younger.
"He must have been in his element at the event and he looked really smart. He has never had the chance to wear anything like that before because he missed out on his school prom.
"They all scrubbed up well, and I saw on Facebook they had been shaving before the event – I didn't even know Michael had facial hair!"
Carol said she was "ecstatic" with District3's performance last week at the live shows.
"Michael kept up his energy and really gave it his all," she said.
"He pronounced his 'b' in Beggin'perfectly pushing the sound out – it must have been so difficult whilst dancing. I wanted to go up on stage and give them all a big hug.
"On the night, I was the one screaming 'District3' behind Gary Barlow!"

“So Nobby are you saying Ella Henderson isn't talented, what a nutcase!
If she keeps on going as she is she will be a huge success for years to come, watch this space.
I can understand people being fed up with some reality shows but to comment on individuals you clearly haven't taken one iota of interest in is a little bit short sited don't you think, after all to read an article you have no interest in makes little sense unless you just enjoy moaning.
Whilst most people like to see local talent do well I rarely comment on these things but Ella is a class above most previous X-factor winners IMO, Leona Lewis was exceptional but she wasn't just 16 was she?
Sorry Nobby but your coment really nobbled me up the wrong way, heres to the people of GY & Cleethorpes who back their own (especially when they are supremely talented)”

“Instead of having a celebrity jungle where these fame hungry and talentless characters isolate themselves once a year how about having an island far away where celebrities and potential celebrities can isolate themselves together permanently. We may then see human evolution start to pick up again.”
