the coolest wildest and most classic
looks from Queen frontman and style icon
Freddie Mercury number 10 red pants red
tie no shirt
there aren’t many musicians with the
confidence
Rivaldo and balls to pull off a look
like this Freddie Mercury rocked the
outfit during a gig at the Rosemont
horizon now called the Allstate Arena in
Illinois back in 1980 strutting around
on stage and nothing more than a pair of
red leather pants and matching tie and
wrist band combo takes courage
something Freddie Mercury clearly had in
abundance with his mane of chest hair on
full display
mercury lost himself on stage while
putting on one of his trademark epic
performances number nine a snazzy suit
yes even international rock stars clean
themselves up from time to time Freddie
Mercury never shied away from an
opportunity to dress up in his Sunday
best be it at an award show black-tie
event or during a duet with renowned
opera singer Montserrat caballo in his
later years
Freddie proved that when it came to
style he was more than just outlandish
and charismatic by donning a variety of
blazers bowties tuxes and
double-breasted suits honestly the man
could have worn a burlap sack and people
would have lost their minds number eight
this awesome kimono Freddie rocked this
Japanese inspired look during a show at
the forum in Inglewood California the
band was on there in 1977 a day at the
races tour and mercury clearly felt it
was the perfect time to bust out a
kimono while a lesser showman might have
been put on blast for the over-the-top
and to be honest pretty random choice
Freddie Mercury embraced the
ridiculousness of the outfit to maximum
effect the band had previously traveled
to Japan in 1975 so maybe that’s where
Freddie got the idea for this funky look
number seven the
list suspenders look arguably one of
Freddie Mercury’s racier looks this
little number must have had fans going
bananas when the singer busted it out at
a concert in New York City playing at
Madison Square Garden
mercury chose to perform wearing a pair
of candy cane striped shorts supported
by a pair of red suspenders and nothing
else the guy wasn’t even wearing shoes
mercury and suspenders go together like
peanut butter and jam but the shorts
were truly what made this special their
suave they’re stylish and then there’s
Queen frontman Freddie Mercury number
six the fashion 8 1985 look following up
on Live Aid fashion aid was a multi
venue benefit concert that sought to end
famine in Ethiopia
whereas Live Aid took place in various
locations all across the globe fashion
aid was a one-off event held at London’s
Royal Albert Hall it brought together
artists politicians actors and musicians
and served as a showcase for fashion
designers in attendance were a listers
of every type including Freddie Mercury
in true Freddie fashion he wore a
repurposed military jacket complete with
a shiny metal and of course no shirt
because why wear a shirt when your
Freddie Mercury number 5 the white bat
wings
Freddie rocked this flamboyant number in
1974 back when Queen was just beginning
to make a name for themselves on the
rock scene dolled up in a pair of white
pants and a white flowing shirt one that
gave him the full range of motion
necessary to pull off his iconic stage
moves mercury looks like he’s having a
ball his high cheekbones long black
locks and bat-like outfit give him an
almost vampirish look but one with
enough largesse and energy to put on a
hell of a show number 4 deep neckline
body suits if there’s one thing we can
say for certain about Freddie Mercury’s
wardrobe hits that it wasn’t lacking in
body suits the suits in question
typically included a neckline that
dipped well below his navel showing off
his trademark black chest hair the often
skin tight body suits came in all shapes
sizes and colors from bedazzled red and
silver to a checkered Harley Quinn like
pattern
actually predates the DC character it
takes a lot of audacity to prance around
in outfits like these in front of
thousands of screaming fans but as we’ve
already noted courage is not something
Freddie Mercury ever left number three
the white tank top Queen set at the 1985
Live Aid benefit concert at London’s
Wembley Stadium is widely considered to
be the peak of the Bands fame not to
mention the greatest live rock gig ever
played according to a 2005 Industry poll
Freddie’s outfit on the other hand was
surprisingly understated just a pair of
blue jeans a white tank top and a
studded armband and belt maybe you
wanted to let the music speak for itself
or perhaps he didn’t want to overshadow
the real reason he was there to raise
funds for Ethiopia either way the look
is now considered one of Mercury’s most
iconic number two the King costume 1986
is the magic tour was the last tour to
feature Freddie Mercury on vocals it was
also when the indomitable lead singer
started appearing on stage clad in a
replica of the queen of England’s crown
jewels and cloak the look is as majestic
as it is bold mercury would bust it out
at the end of queens live shows
accompanied by a rendition of the UK’s
national anthem God saved the Queen
it seems only fitting that during
Mercury’s last tour as a member of Queen
he got to dress as royalty before we
unveil our number one pick here are some
[Music]
number one the Yellow Jacket
military jackets were kind of Mercury’s
thing it was a look he trotted out on
numerous occasions however the most
famous is without a doubt the yellow one
he wore near the tail end of his career
having already made his mark with skin
tight body suits and funky kimonos he
could now opt for simpler more refined
outfits and still make a splash looks
that in retrospect are now easily his
most recognizable many of rock’s
greatest stars from Hendrix to Bowie
cultivated looks that were completely
their own and Freddie Mercury may have
outdone them all do you agree with our
