David Bowie from Life on Mars
In the music video for the 1971 single “Life on Mars”, glam rock star David Bowie is dressed in a turquoise “ice-blue” designer suit and heavy makeup. This unique look presents yet another facet of Bowie alongside his personas Ziggy Stardust and the Thin White Duke.
Nikola Tesla
Based on the real-life inventor, Nikola Tesla (David Bowie) is commissioned by the magician, Robert Angier, to build a teleportation device. It is Angier’s hope that this illusion will help him defeat his rival, Alfred Borden.
The Thin White Duke
The Thin White Duke, like the better known Ziggy Stardust, was one of David Bowie’s personas, featured in his album Station to Station. He’s a sharply dressed individual known for throwing darts in lovers’ eyes.
Ziggy Stardust
David Bowie took fashion to a new level when he unveiled his alter-ego Ziggy Stardust. Part rock star, part alien-being, it takes more than just a colorful unitard and elaborate makeup to pull off this look. You need the confidence to go along with it. Of course, it also doesn’t hurt if you can sing.
Jareth the Goblin King
Jareth (David Bowie) is the Goblin King who is summoned by Sarah to take her infant brother away. He gives Sarah a chance to get her brother back if she can make it through the Labyrinth. Along the way he distracts her with song and dance but it’s his choice of pants that distracts viewers.
