Elton John’s Wackiest Outfits Through the Years

Elton John dancing on stage during a concert.

Pretty tame for Elton (as we'll see in the pictures below). Not only could he bring down the house with his music but his on-stage antics were always top-notch.

One of the bigger hats Elton has used in his stage routines. I will always admire this picture for the pure gaudiness of the gold epaulets.

Nothing says a romantic Valentine's Day date like really short shorts and tennis shoes. I'm pretty sure those might be underwear actually.

There's having theme colors and consistency in weddings, and there's wearing a lavender bow tie, with a barber shop quartet hat. Poor Renate. If she only knew.

This appears to be a kids zip-up, onesy, footy pajamas deal. The hat, however, classes it up quite a bit.
