A Look Back At Prince's Most Iconic Style Moments in Photos
In honor of the late legend's boundary-breaking fashion.
Many artists are deemed "style icons," but as someone who broke countless boundaries and barriers in fashion, Prince surpassed that definition.

As we remember the late "Purple Rain" singer, who would have turned 61 this week, we're taking a look back at his best fashion moments over the years, from ruffles to sequins and everything in between.
