Prince's coolest Look

Okay so we've had the worst look, what about the best?

In my opinion it's got to be from the Lovesexy tour when he took the whole androgyny thing to the max. Check out the hair!

It's either this or the polka dot suit.

nod Yeah, he looks really cool in all the pictures you guys have posted.
I would like to add a couple of rather recent pics, where I think he looks almost unbelievably cool:

Eww i beg to disagree. The hairstyle was foul lol and i didnt fancy the clothes neither.

I loved the purple rain era.. with the purple and lace.. now that had style in my opinion. And i would say in general he is known best for that style/look.

Also.. i loved the blue suit with clouds from the Raspberry beret clip, which other straight artist could pull that off..... No other .. but Prince.

If I'm not mistaken, it was the Lovesexy look that made Miles Davis drool with envy. The great thing was it was all his own. it didn't owe anything to little richard or anyone else.

I like this look to, the Lovesexy era, he let his eyebrows go... grew out his hair... had that colonial look... specifically his usual outfit that he wore when he played Sister/Harem/When you Were Mine...

Pretty much anything that was a headfuck is the coolest, much like the music.

Conversely, anything conservative, regular, or normal is the worst, much like the music.

I vote for the Graffiti Bridge long hair era with all the yummy facial hair.

At a close second: is the pompadour under the cherry moon phase ...when he was working out and actually had some nice muscles. Wish he'd work out again. Dude could use some protein. neutral


I also need him to grow out this perm. neutral

Oh, snap! lol Given his hair situation, I think we'll be seeing a version of a "natural" look some time soon.

His hair is mad thinning (there was a post here about a month ago that showed serious bald patches in the front of his head. Photo was taken as he was ducking to get into his limo)

Once that gets crazy you have to opt for a different look.

Right now, God bless him and his blowout!
Come here, babe.. yeah...
