FREDDIE MERCURY COSTUME FULL
For the full ensemble, add the following:
If you want to dress specifically as Freddie Mercury, the short-hair-and-porno-mustache look will be most recognizable. Go nuts and wear a silk or velour bathrobe over your outrageous attire. You’ll find loads of looks the fashion police would fine you for. Bonus Points: If you want to find one of the more flamboyant 80s looks, just do a quick search for Band Members Of Queen.(You don’t have to actually smoke or drink.) A cigarette for one hand and a glass of beer in the other.(Scaramouch, scaramouch, will you do the fandango?) Remember, this is Queen we’re talking about. Bring a small notebook to scrawl down off-the-cuff lyrics as they come to you. Maybe stick some old Queen sheet music in your back pocket.Bring a guitar, drum sticks, or tambourine.Any leather, spiked, or studded accessories.Tight, slim cut blue jeans, or tight shiny vinyl pants.A rock band teeshirt (worn tucked in) and artfully ripped.A red or blue bandana around the head, or on your ankle (and over the boots).Here’s the kind of clothes you need to dress like a band from the 80s: (Pick these things up cheaply at your local Goodwill or thrift store.) Divvy up the roles to achieve the right quartet of looks from Queen. Mercury debuted this "angel" shirt on stage at what was Queen's biggest headlining show to date, a gig at London's Rainbow Theatre.If you’re lucky enough to have three fun friends, you can form the entire band. Mercury's version was made of cream-colored satin rather than silk, and had quilting at the chest rather than embroidery. When Mercury told her how much he loved the top, Rhodes made a version of it for the singer. It was the top part of a wedding dress idea Rhodes had designed, the outfit being inspired by drawings of lilies Rhodes had done during a trip to Japan. In an interview with Vogue years later, Rhodes remembered that Mercury had gone straight for a cape shirt in heavy ivory silk that had an embroidered bodice and giant pleated butterfly sleeves. At the time, Rhodes hadn't really designed much menswear, although she had made an outfit for Marc Bolan. When Mercury and Brian May arrived at Rhodes's studio, she invited them to try on any of the clothing they liked, and to jump around in the clothes so they could get an idea of whether the outfits would be comfortable to wear onstage. In 1974, designer Zandra Rhodes had not heard of Queen when the band phoned to ask if they could come around to her London studio. She had to ask her employees to play some of their music for her. Here are some of the secrets behind Freddie Mercury's iconic outfits. Nearly 30 years after his passing, Mercury is still remembered not only for Queen's music, his impressive vocal range, and his huge stage presence, but also for his clothes. It's just one of those awesome Freddie Mercury facts: Many of the performer's stage looks, such as his bright yellow military jacket, are considered an indelible part of his legacy. Whether in a stage costume or an everyday outfit, Mercury consistently surprised people with his look. The bottom line is that Mercury never tried to put on some fake kind of image he was always being himself.įreddie Mercury's fashion style constantly changed over the years - from glittery jumpsuits and ballet shoes, to jeans and sneakers, to short skirts and high-heeled boots. Freddie Mercury (real name Farrokh Bulsara) once said that when the audience went to a Queen show, "It is not a concert you are seeing, it is a fashion show." He was well aware that some of the outfits were over the top, but he hoped that the humor was not lost on the audience.
