Jumpsuits like denim jeans were actually created for practical purposes before they became a fashion statement. Invented by a Florentine designer Thayat, jumpsuits were made in 1919 for parachuters and skydivers but slowly with time, jumpsuits got a fashion makeover. Elsa Schiaparelli was one of the first designers, who played with jumpsuits and transformed this practical wear into something very fashionable. Over a period of time, film stars like Katharine Hepburn too flaunted jumpsuits and it also became a symbol of women empowerment. Androgynous jumpsuits have also been donned by many singers from time immemorial.

Pop singers right from Elvis Presley to Britney Spears wore jumpsuits while performing on stage, which went on to become iconic fashion pieces. Here are five iconic jumpsuits donned by the singers.
