RafaNo. However, Elvis wore a wig in his movie "Kissin' Cousins" to portray his cousin. He had a blonde wig made by the film company. He also wore a wig in the film "Jailhouse Rock" when it showed them cutting his "hair".
Elvis never wore a wig on any occasion privately. His hair was dyed black.
When asked that very question, in 1955, Elvis responded with "Well Sir, when I am onstage I like to wear flashy clothes and move around and give 'em their moneys worth. Otherwise they could just stay at home and listen to my records".
Lastly, Elvis was unique in his fashion style from the 1950's through his death on August 16, 1977. Elvis was a trendsetter and if he liked it...he wore it. Elvis worked with his wardrobe and modified it to fit his own style.
Elvis was a blackbelt and loved Karate. I had read he did not want to wear a tuxedo and tie like so many other singers in Vegas at the time did like Tom Jones, Engelbert H. and Elvis wanted to wear something more comfortable he could move more freely in. Many times in his shows while performing he did perform some karate moves on stage. I believe Priscilla had suggested very early on a jump suit and may have had some input on the designs of the earlier ones. He started out with very simple plain white jump suits in 1970 for comfort but later he added a lot more designs and accessories and many of the jump suits got nicknamed like the red jump suit called Burning Love, etc etc Majority of his jump suits are on display at Graceland. The capes came later. A lot of other entertainers followed or copied him later wearing jump suits like the Osmonds, The Jacksons and David Cassidy. I believe Elvis was the 1st to wear them. One of his capes he gave to his friend Muhammad Ali to wear in one of his fights. Hope this helps to answer your question.

What were Elvis' jumpsuits made of?
Elvis' jumpsuits were actually made of wool suiting imported from Italy with a similar weave to what you would see in an Italian wool suit on today's market. The fabric was much heavier than the polyester gabardine that many tribute artist use today. It was more suited for the heavy stones that were affixed to Elvis' suits so that there would be no drooping of the material. Check out this image: http://media.photobucket.com/image/elvis%20sundial%20jumpsuit/GeordieBroon/Jumpsuits/236.jpg You can easily see that the suit is wool suiting and not polyester gaberdine. And on the note of color; the suits that many people believe to be white, such as the Fringe suit, the Aloha Eagle, the Peacock, and the Sundial, are actually ivory.
