Presley paid $10,000 to have the outfit made by Los Angeles designer Bill Belew, who created all of The King’s stage wardrobe between 1968-1977. It captured the rock ’n’ roll legend’s fascination with peacocks as a good luck symbol and the auction house said it was among his favorite Belew designs.
