Halter Jumpsuit
Before jumpsuits were a red-carpet staple, Prince wore a velvet halter iteration...yes, velvet!
Taylor Swift
Tay, be sure to show some gratitude to the trailblazer before you.
Trench Coat
He didn't invent the trench coat, but Prince did have a habit of jazzing up his outerwear.
Kourtney Kardashian
These days celebs often rely on their trenches to top off almost every type of outfit. Without it, their outfits just wouldn't be complete.
Necktie Choker
There is no trend more popular than the necktie choker right now. Before Kendall and Gigi made it happen, Prince wore it first.
Kristin Cavallari
Fast forward to 2016 and the trend has trickled down to the masses. The look even comes attached to dresses and tops.
Round Sunglass
There are only a handful of celebs who can rock round sunglasses well and look natural (read: not costume-y). Prince is one of them.
Cara Santana
Round sunglasses have become trendy in recent years, especially among the L.A. set, but still no one wears them quite as well as Prince.
Victorian Blouse
A mock neck, puffy sleeves, some lace action…the Victorian shirt had no better wearer than the singer himself.
Olivia Culpo
This year, many celebs channeled the old-school blouse in very edgy ways.
Pussy Bow
Pussy bows have an inherently prim and proper feel to them, but when Prince did it, those bows were more powerful than pussy.
Hailey Baldwin
He showed us a good bow can always be edged up with the right counterparts (read: Hailey Baldwin in ripped denim and a military jacket).
Bell Sleeve
Leave it to the musician to bring back a dramatic ‘70s trend in a modern (for 2010), subtle way.
Nikki Reed
Today, celebs are pairing the exaggerated sleeves with simple silhouettes.
Ear Cuff
Remember red carpet season '14, when everyone was wearing a statement ear cuff? Yep, Prince did it first in 2004.
Gigi Hadid
The pop icon pretty much paved the way for up-and-coming top models.
The Wrapped Blazer
As wild as Prince's style could be, he knew the value of a good tailor. This wrapped blazer fit him perfectly.
Liya Kebede
Today, it's a look that transcends from the boardroom to the red carpet and beyond.
Crop Top
Seriously, though, look at those abs.
Bella Hadid
The crop top is nothing new, and, sure, Prince wasn't the first to wear it, but knowing that he was in favor of the trend makes it all the more appealing.
Oversized Turtleneck
Prince had the oversized sweater game on lock before it became everyone's favorite winter trend. The neck of his top has the perfect slouch, unlike the tight turtlenecks of the early aughts.
Olivia Palermo
Nowadays, you can see this look on street style stars, like Olivia.
