Today the world woke up to the shocking news that music legend Prince (born Prince Rogers Nelson), has passed at the age of 57. All of us have been left stunned crying tears in the Purple Rain. Suddenly, the world flooded online to remember the legacy of the one and only Prince.

Prince was a huge inspiration to those who grow up with his art, music and, of course, eclectic, boundary-busting fashion styles over the four decades of his incredible career.

Picking 11 fashion styles was not an easy task with this truly visionary star, from high-neck ruffle shirts, metallic purple suits, always perfect curls, three-eyed glasses, countless crop-tops, to the OMG bright-yellow jumpsuit on stage at 1991 VMAs. Please enjoy our handpicked gallery below with some of Prince's finest musical moments playing at the background. (Have a box of Kleenex ready just in case)

6. No other man will ever pull off a crop top like Prince @ 1986 Wembley.

1986 A costume change at that same 1986 Wembley performance revealed that it was only a matter of time before Prince showed some more skin. Here he wore the black variant of the sleeveless torso-baring shirt and matching button-lined pants that we'd seen before.

Prince With a rugged goatee, a red and black sleeved flowing outfit, asymmetrical '80s shades and his trusty guitar, a permed Prince plays on July 2, 2004 at Essence Music Festival. Apparently, both the hair and the facial hair were a disguise. He was attempting to be a quiet opening act.
