Elton John is undoubtedly one of music’s biggest icons of all time, but he might just be a fashion icon as well.
Since the ’70s, Sir Elton has pushed the envelope both on stage and off. Take a look through the gallery below at 16 wild outfits from Elton.
Even the most conservative of Elton John's red carpet looks involve incredible eye wear, which is just one of many reasons why he's so beloved.
Is this look very '80s? Yes, but I'd put good money on Sir Elton still being able to pull this off today!
Embroidery, sequins and ruffles?! Elton John has never met an accent he didn't like.
Sir Elton is one of the few people in the history of time that can be both elegant and flashy. He's truly the best!
If you thought Slash was the only rock star to perfectly pull off a top hat, you've clearly never seen this photo.
Elton John, and only Elton John, can make an Ed Hardy-inspired design look absolutely elegant.
Royal blue for music royalty? Obviously!
The fact Elton matched the color of his lenses to his sequined blazer is the definition of thoughtful.
Is it a robe? A cape? It doesn't matter, and I want one in every color.
A stage costume? Nope...just another Tuesday.
Captain Morgan wishes he had as much swagger as Sir Elton!
This isn't a staged photo for the "Got Milk?" campaign. This was actually a candid of Elton enjoying a glass of milk at home.
Frankly, a jacket that's around 30-40 percent lapel is a look that should come back.
One cool thing about this photo being black and white is pretending that Sir Elton is dressed like the grooviest bee EVER!
New rule: All military uniforms must be at minimum 20 percent bedazzled.
Note to self: No matter how hard you try, Elton's blazer game will be superior to pretty much anyone else on the face of the Earth.
