Why the hell did Freddie wear that light blue costume? It made him look even worse than he actually looked at that stage of his ilness.

i thought he looked classey in his pale blue suit and white scraf, freddie always liked to stand out from the crowd,
Freddie had a very good taste (since he was designer and very arty guy), I don't think this costume was so bad... It looks okay
I think he looked very dapper. The color accentuated his thinness a bit, but at that point with rumors flying about it also, to me at least, accentuated his courage.
Don't get me wrong, the suit is lovely and so is the scarf. The problem is that the light colour makes him look like a living dead. Just take a look at the picture where he is sitting in the limo after the party. In my opinion he would have hid his illness better in a dark suit, like the one the rest of the band was wearing.
he wore the same suit in 86 filled it out a little better then as well

Jesus man..your hursh, i think he was the best dress singer ever...that blue suit wasnt too bad, i mean it wasnt "like a living dead"!
he wore alot of makeup there, he dressed fine in my opinion. Thank You.

I agree it made him look pretty bad, but I think Freddie was one to put his personal style way ahead of "what people might think". He was never a blend-in sort of person by any stretch and a black suit would have very much blended in.
You have to also consider this: when people's bodies change fairly rapidly it takes a long time for their psychological body image to catch up, even for people who look at themselves often. It could quite well be that he didn't realize just how bad he looked, especially if it was a suit that used to look better on him. He was human after all. He could've been in denial.
I bet someone is going to slay me for bringing this up but remember the song "Waterfalls" by TLC? There was a verse about a guy who caught AIDS from his girlfriend and it said one day he looked in the mirror and "didn't recognize his own face". Especially with illness, a lot of people truly don't realize how their bodies have changed until it all the sudden hits them one day. (This is why you often hear stories of people getting to be 250 pounds and not realizing they were fat "until the pictures came back from my son's birthday party and I looked like a beached whale").

For God's sake. He was seriously ill by then and only had a little bit longer to live, and there he was recieving an award for the brilliant music him and the rest of the band created, and he's you lot going on about what he's wearing. Get a life.

good point!, and i agree about "psychological body image to catch up"
also freddie looked ok it was only when it was getting late at the party he looked tired, but imo he still looked very sharp,
