The Iconic Sheila E. Outfit

It's rainy and I'm bored, which means I've got nothing better to do than start silly org threads. So bear with me and enjoy it, because straight or gay, I think everyone here can appreciate the wonder that is the signature Sheila E. outfit: the one-legged wonder.

It's a clothing-engineering marvel, it seems. And apparently it was a cocreation of both Sheila and her good friend Patti LaBelle. When these two women put their heads together, they came up with something very, very cool.

Sheila loved it so much she ordered it in a variety of colors (sorry for the crappy screen grabs). She had it in pinkish/purplish:

She had it in sassy black, which Jay Leno and the late, great Patrick Swayze obviously appreciated:

And of course there is the classic white:

So who else loves it? Give it up!

She still looks great and much better than most women half her age.

I'm pretty sure this photo is flipped. In all the leg-exposing outfits she has, it's always the right leg that's out and the left that's covered. And her name was usually backward (which is how she signs her autographs).

Damn. Could I be more of a nerd?

The pic is from a poster sold on the Lovesexy tour, just dug mine out and that is how the poster was. However, I agree that her stuff is usally backwards. She signed an autograph for me.

Sheila E. is still smoking hot.

Shakira stole her wardrobe for her She-Wolf Video:

I've always believed (and will until Sheila comes clean) that get-up was a mistake. Meaning, she was trying it on with her heels on and, SPLIT!! It was the greatest mistake ever made though. cool

i knew be4 clicking on this, that these pics would be of Sheila with one leg out. (that is what I called this design/style of clothes. And yes, I loved it. Still think it is a hot look.

Way better than Prince's ass out pants. boxed

Good question. I forgot about the beautiful Flo Jo. I guess Flo Jo wore it first.

One of the things I love about the SOTT look is that it's composits of other eras

This 1 legged outfit fits very similar to Cat's tan piece and very similar to Prince's Parade half shirt look

Wasnt that the 88 Olympics? I dont remember for sure but I think 88.

Which may possibly put Sheila in the one legged suit first.

Ah...Minneapolis was influencing EVERYBODY back then!
