At Rock in Rio, Elton John fans obeyed the request he made on social media and showed up dressed in looks inspired by the musician's career and style. Among the various outfits reproduced, one predominated at the event: the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team uniform, which became the most reproduced outfit during the extended September 7th holiday weekend at the festival.
The connection between the Dodgers uniform and Elton John dates back to a historic performance. In October 1975, the singer performed at Dodger Stadium for an audience of more than 100,000 people. On that occasion, he was the first pop-rock artist to perform there since the Beatles, who played there nine years before.
On that memorable night, Elton John took the stage wearing a customized Los Angeles Dodgers uniform made entirely of glittering sequins and Swarovski crystals. The visual entered fashion and music history, being remembered and reproduced by fans to this day, including those who attended Rock in Rio.
The iconic outfit was designed by American stylist Bob Mackie, known for creating extravagant and detailed costumes for major artists.
