Prince's Butt-Baring Pants at the 1991 MTV VMAs

Always the irreverent dresser, Prince performed "Gett Off" at the 1991 VMAs wearing a yellow suit with a cutout at each butt cheek. As it turns out, however, the outfit was an illusion: fabric dyer Marliss Jensen, who often worked with Prince and dyed this particular outfit, told Pioneer Press in 2017 the butt panel was actually just flesh-coloured fabric. "That yellow suit — his 'butt suit' — did not show his butt," she said. "That was fabric."
