This number of iron-on denim patches must be Guinness World Record-worthy, and it looks glorious.

John is obviously the king of eyewear, and matches his glasses well with his white suit and flowery button-up for this portrait.

John had a great suit on for the day he added “Record Label Founder” to his resume. At its height, Rocket Records housed musicians like Neil Sedaka, Cliff Richard, Kiki Dee, and Colin Blunstone.

Everything from John’s massive bedazzled hat to his frilled sunglasses is over-the-top in the best way possible.

This funny ensemble coordinated around a monogrammed sweater shouts out the Australian former tennis player Rod Laver.

No, you’re not hallucinating, that’s a glittering sequined Dodgers jersey which John rocked for this stadium show. Yes, it’s incredible. And yes, Harry Styles dressed up as Elton John here for Halloween one year.

John raised his profile substantially in the U.S. when he began doing shows at The Troubadour in Los Angeles. Here he’s performing with the singer Kiki Dee, with a casual but still super-sharp outfit.

Clearly, John doesn’t want to be upstaged, even by beloved puppets, so he brought his all to this performance of “Crocodile Rock” on The Muppet Show.

Who could rock this leopard print coat better than Elton John? Probably only Cruella de Vil, and luckily she’s fictional.

John busted out this incredible outfit and hat combo for a show at Illinois’ Rosemont Horizon arena, now the Allstate Arena.

John donned a Daffy Duck costume for this outdoor concert and yes, he’s shaking those feathers.

Why not go for a blue Troubadour look for a show? John really should have been cast in some version of The Three Musketeers.

John could have starred in a Western film while he was at it too! He definitely pulls off the cowboy hat, and that fox sweater is pretty awesome all by itself.

John wore this phenomenal pink mohawk look at the Universal Amphitheatre, a venue that was in Los Angeles from 1972 to 2013. The space was demolished and it’s now part of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Universal Studios attraction.

John looks slick in a regular suit when he throws one on, but more often than not you’ll see far more accents of color and personality from the singer than a typical suited celeb.

You’re on another level when you’ve got a coordinated color scheme that matches your baseball cap, suit jacket and turtleneck underneath.

John was rocking red at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert for AIDS Awareness at Wembley Stadium.

The singer was of course one of the best-dressed inductees when he was brought into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Other inductees that year included The Grateful Dead, The Band, Willie Dixon, and Bob Marley.

John and his husband David Furnish fit in with the audience of fashion lovers observing the Versace Autumn/Winter 96/97 Haute Couture Collection debut.

Elton John had a legendary Louis XIV-inspired look for his 50th birthday, accented with a massive powdered wig balancing a warship on-top, a long train, and a thousand more intricate details.
