10 Of The Loudest Stage Costumes!
You won't recognise some of these music stars and their daring fashion choices!
-
1. Is That Really You?!
We couldn't believe it either! Elton John whose real name is Reginald Kenneth Dwight experimented with a number of different looks early on in his career, before sticking to colourful suits and shades to match.
-
2. Work That Body!
Flamboyant and fantastic, Diana Ross can wear whatever she likes! This red creation wasn't the final look however, she's hiding something underneath...
-
3. I'm Coming Out!
There she is!
-
4. Proud Mary!
Not many could pull this look off but Tina rocks it!
-
5. Supertroupers!
What might look like a martial arts costume to some, was a signature look for Swedish super-group Abba and it worked!
-
6. Who's That Man In The Mirror?
It's not many that can get away with wearing metallics, or leather, or PVC ... but Michael Jackson could get away with all of those at once! This incredible costume was designed by Gianni Versace for the King of Pop's 'HIStory' world tour.
-
7. Guess Who?
This is one of the most unusual headpieces we've ever seen. Worn by one of music's most creative dressers, you might have guessed it's Prince!
-
8. Fashion Chameleon
Boy George is known for his daring costume choices and this one is certainly that! Throwing homage to the Wild Wild West with his fringed jacket and a nod to The Highlands with a kilt, the singer topped off his look with cigarette packets stuck to his hat.
-
9. Sunday Girl
Debbie Harry is a style icon and she continues to surprise us with great stage outfits! Her shredded sleeves almost look like flames and she is on fire!
-
10. A Material Girl!
Madonna has gone through many reincarnations over the years but she's almost unrecognisable here! This incredible dress was worn for Madge's 'Who's That Girl?' tour and is made up of doll's heads, cocktail umbrellas and other things we all have in our houses. We have our next fancy dress costume idea!

11. David Bowie As Ziggy Stardust
There's no way we can talk about stage costumes without mentioning David Bowie and his alter-ego Ziggy Stardust! Famed for his stage make-up, glitter, and red hair-dye, there's no doubt Bowie was original. Once he even performed in just a loincloth! We couldn't find that picture however...
