Has Prince ever worn a tie with a suit?

I don't think I've ever seen Prince wear a conventional suit and tie. Maybe he doesn't want to constrict the blood flow to his brain?

The one that first comes to mind is the yellow polka dot suit. The tie was the inverse colors - a black tie with yellow polka dots.

Set you time machine to the year 1986 and you'll find thousands of pictures.

That Today Show performance springs to mind! Very non-Prince look! (and Bryant Gumble was in fan heaven!) I think Prince even rocked some specs.

And there's the Payless Shoes alternate reality version of Prince (as Doozer puts it) in the Emancipation lyric book, where he's rocking the shirt and tie, looking like he's taking his 45-minute lunch break.

He wore a suit and tie at every One Nite Alone gig - and many times before that.

It's the shoulder pads and odd angles that I am laughing at - nothing else. The personal nature of the photo is certainly a tragedy and took courage to include in the album booklet. I hope it's obvious that the chuckles are completely unrelated to anything having to do with the photo's back story. If not, I am here to apologize. I have 2 children of my own, and a mere fever for either of them is no laughing matter. Losing the chance to care for them at all would be unthinkable.

Well said. Very well said. I completely agree. I've always found that photo funny in a good way because it's so jarring to see Prince in a shirt and tie. (The same as seeing him wearing a sweater and looking "normal" around the Rave/TRC era is several pics!) Seeing the toy room in the background for the first time in a long while was a jolt for me because I remembered only the shirt and tie, not the background and context. Yeah, with my own daughter being only several weeks old, I can't even imagine the pain Prince went through. My heart aches for the guy.

But the goofy picture is more evidence that Prince can rock some business wear, albeit sans jacket! I can't think of another instance of him wearing just a shirt and tie. I shouldn't even say that because some Orger is going to post like 40 pics to prove me wrong.
