From crystal-studded bodysuits to capes that could double for red carpets, the past decade has given us concert fashion so fierce, it deserves its own standing ovation. These aren’t just outfits – they’re mic-drop moments, stitched in sequins and sealed with sass. So, grab your glitter, channel your inner hype-person, and let’s rewind the runway of the stage – from 2010 to now – one iconic outfit at a time!
