"The iconic musician and EGOT winner, who is the subject of the 2019 biopic and the 2024 documentary Elton John: Never Too Late, has long been known for his over-the-top fashion sensibilities-sky-high platform shoes, oversized eyeglasses in every hue, feathers, and glitter are among his signature staples."

"The knight's more-is-more philosophy is not limited to his wardrobe; John has long been a collector, particularly when it comes to art and home decor. And when Elton John collects, he collects. Case in point: John owns one of the largest private collections of photography in the world, according to Christie's."

"While his interior design style is still bold and eclectic, it has evolved into a considerably refined version over the course of his six-decade career. However, there was a time when the fledgling star quite literally filled his home with everything that caught his fancy."
