Sir Elton Hercules John is a famous singer, songwriter, pianist, and composer. Born in England as Reggie Dwight, his stage name borrows from Elton Dean and Long John Baldry. His hits include “Rocketman,” “Tiny Dancer,” and “Bennie and the Jets.” He is best known for his outrageous costumes, which have become iconic in both music and fashion. Rocketman, a musical biopic about his life, premiered in 2019, where Taron Egerton plays the role of Elton John.

In Kingsman: The Secret Service, we learn that “manners maketh man” but we see that clothing does as well. As secret agent trainee Gary “Eggsy” Unwin (Taron Egerton) learns what it takes to be a Kingsman, he also learns to transform his style from an urban street look to a more refined English gentleman look.
