Elvis's goldsuit arrives in London by armoured vehicle

One of Elvis Presley's most iconic outfits goes on display in London for the first time.
A £10,000 gold suit worn by the King of Rock & Roll joins the exhibition at The O2 which is the biggest of its kind in Europe. Reya El-Salahi reports.

Iconic. Long live King Elvis.

[@saragarratt4397]

I was lucky enough to see this exhibition, brilliant!

[@catlady7773]

According to the Graceland historian manager, Angie Marchese, they loan these artifacts to these exhibits and have to sign a contract that they will take care of them. If they were ever damaged or stolen, one suit alone is somewhere around $50,000 to be owed back to the Elvis Presley estate in item loss fees. They could also be sued, depending on the circumstances!!!

Everytime am reminded of THE KING unable to mingle in person with his multitude adoring fans and simle admirers around the world, Col. Tom Parker pricks my senses in deep hatred. This man made ELVIS the most famous and timeless entertainment icon but he was too rude and selfish and too soon mismanaged his gold mine. Somehow, CTP could be partly blamed for ELVIS' death at so young age of 42 and also the failure of ELVIS to tour the globe for live concerts. NOW, British EP fans just had this consolation of seeing and maybe even touching and caressing that GOLD SUIT in preferred imaginations. CTP must be contemplating in his afterlife now seeing the "damage" he had done to non-American EP fans who were barred from partaking even the slightest glimpse of his GOLD MINE pulsating with electrifying live flesh, muscles and bones!!!

Nobody else will ever be able to wear a gold suit, only the King

[@abhishekbhs9134]

[@bravesoul5743]

[@leonbrouwer5137]

Sade when those are real soliders

[@jspawngaming]

I have an exact copy of that suit

[@susancrouthamel760]

Graceland should keep all of Elvis items there n people can come n visit the USA n see all his items. We don't have any items here on display from your QUEEN. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ELVIS.

[@RJsStudio131]

The Queen has nothing that I want to see!!! here or there...She doesn't hold a candle to Elvis

[@elvispresleyrecords7285]

Wow! Looks great! I wish I could have gone to the exhibition😥

[@wiisalute]

Im surprised this wasn't featured in the movie, nor the Blue Hawaii outfit.

[@normagallagher6599]

Love it

[@jessieblanton9547]

Gold suit at graceland this suit cant be the real one .

[@WalmartJedi]

There were 3 gold lame suits all made to the same specs. That was typical of Elvis, one to be worn, one to be washed/maintained and a spare in case of accidental damage to the 1st that the spare had to fill in for the 1st one. Elvis had 3 Aloha jumpsuits with two separate length capes and 3 belts.

[@roymarksberry4152]

That's amazing the shaming it to do what he wanted to do and play there

[@garylyons1498]

They obviously heard Auric Goldfinger was searching for it which is why armored vehicles had to deliver it 🤣

[@leonolanofficial4581]

Has to be worth more than 10.000

[@theking2450]

10,000 was what it cost in 1957

[@tastyyummycutehomecooknepa9288]

For Thousand Who are Laughing On Only For 10000 Pound Let Me Explain The GoldSuit Cost 10000 Pound at 1957 That ,s Means It,s £205,668.5 in Today Date

[@339blackdiamond]

it didn't cost 10 000 pound, the actual bill of the suit was 2500$,still a big price for a suit considering this was 1957!

[@TheDoug2103]

OH MY GOD, 2 LIMEY FAKE SOLDIERS FLANKING A SUIT THAT SAT ON UNPROTECTED DISPLAY SINCE THE 70S. IVE SEEN THIS SUIT OVER 10 TIMES, NO BIG DEAL.

[@high5427]

[@robertmseaman]

How do they have it ? Why is it not in Graceland....

[@jspawngaming]

From b&k

[@leonolanofficial4581]

How

[@raven_ous2585]

Elvis actually hated that suit. It was just for publicity

[@bader0921]

does it only worth 10 K or he Elvis bought for that price ? I wonder how much it would worth now, and sure the ten thousand Pound worth more than doubles these days.

[@Pops-1977]

£10.000 for the suit 😆😆😆 more like £100.000 RIP ELVIS

[@kemperboyd16]

Obi-Wan Kenobi it cost that in 1957. Priceless now.

[@loyalroyal1015]

GOD Save the Queen 💟🍁....🤓

[@LAFRIKIBODA---]

GOD SAVE THE KING, THE ONLY KING

[@prp3231]

Is that a lyric from the Sex Pistols song?

[@raven_ous2585]

[@mechanicalmanny494]

[@elvispresley2021]

No Just Sharing The Limies need some class all they Had were Bugs and Beatles

[@kathysharpe7339]

Do you have to pay to see it .hum

[@kathysharpe7339]

Why

[@raven_ous2585]

Why do you think ????!!!

[@fourcrowned1670]

10 thousands pounds WTF?

[@Will_DiGiorgio]

I know where the matching shoes are for that outfit.

[@Will_DiGiorgio]

@@leonolanofficial4581 I honestly don't think I should say while the owner is living ... From what I was told by the owner Graceland is also aware of their location and contact him frequently to acquire them.

[@Will_DiGiorgio]

@@leonolanofficial4581 No... I was in the right place at the right time to be shown the shoes. I got to hold them they looked old enough and the glittering or paint looked faded enough, the story of how they were acquired sounded plausible and from my research about the right shoe size. If I said the owners name you would probably believe it also. I'm sure you would recognize it.

[@Will_DiGiorgio]

@@leonolanofficial4581What is an ETA? I'm not familiar with it outside of the acronym Estimated Time of Arrival. It's possible they were, I recall commenting that I knew the brand and was surprised by the fact.

[@Will_DiGiorgio]

I also believe they were painted gold, I was surprised by that as well... It's been several years and I was a bit overwhelmed at the time.

[@Will_DiGiorgio]

@@leonolanofficial4581 Ahh... Got Ya.

[@Viperawezome]

Why is an American popstar's suit in UK? It should be in America where it belongs

[@jayr178]

It's on loan.

[@Rubix_Cubixx]

It's on tour that's all ELVIS IS MONEY
