FREDDIE MERCURY COSTUMES

We are the champions, my friends!

Freddie Mercury was a British musician, singer and songwriter, best known as the lead vocalist of the rock band Queen. As a performer, he was known for his flamboyant stage persona and powerful vocals over a four-octave range. In 2005, a poll organised by MTV saw Mercury voted as the greatest male singer of all time. He displayed a highly theatrical style that often evoked a great deal of participation from the crowd.

Due to his huge success, Freddie Mercury has become a musical icon, and as such he is easily recognisable. His flamboyant dress sense can be easily imitated, and is very distinctive. Mercury once said, “I have fun with my clothes onstage, it’s not a concert you’re seeing, it’s a fashion show.” Take on the persona of one of the greatest artist’s of all time, when you wear the Freddie Mercury Wembley Costume!

Clothing styles during the 1970s were influenced by outfits seen in popular music groups and Hollywood films. Much of the 1970s fashion styles were influenced by the hippie movement of the 1960s. Significant fashion trends of the 1970s began with a continuation of the mini skirts, bell bottoms and psychedelic dresses from the late 1960s, was soon sharply characterized by several distinct fashion trends that have left an indelible image of the decade commemorated in popular culture. These include platform shoes, worn by both men and women. Wide-legged, flared trousers were another fashion mainstay for both sexes throughout most of the decade, and this style has been immortalized in the 1977 film, ‘Saturday Night Fever’. The “disco look”, complete with three-piece suits for men, which the film further popularized, lasted until it was gradually replaced by punk fashion. Hot pants were a fashion craze for young girls and women in the early 1970s. Sideburns and beards came back into style for men, as well as the large, round Afro. Women’s hairstyles went from long and straight in the first half of the decade to the feathery cut of Farrah Fawcett.
