Prince, who died Thursday at the age of 57, was known as much for being a legendary performer as he was for being a style icon.
At awards shows and performances, he donned necklaces, boas and colorful suits featuring glitter, sequins and lace—often purple and paired with a statement electric guitar.
The musician was found at his Paisley Park estate in Minnesota, and people around the world mourned his death.
