A Look Back at Prince’s Incomparable Style
It’s impossible to pick just a favorite Prince outfit. Whether the late musician — who was pronounced dead exactly one year ago at the age of 57 — was on or off the stage, he never had an off day when it came to style. Take a 2014 appearance at the French Open, for example, where he sat in the crowd with a bedazzled cane. And is there any other man on earth who would sit front row at a basketball game in high heels? And that’s just one example. In honor of the first anniversary of his death, here’s a look back at his most fabulous looks over the years.
