André Leon Talley's 60th Birthday: See His Most Outrageous Outfits! (PHOTOS, POLL)

Vogue's American editor-at-large André Leon Talley is hard to miss. The six-foot-seven stunner is likely the only person in the fashion front rows rocking fur, sunglasses, and printed robes all at once...aside from his boss Anna Wintour, that is. Today, André turns a very stylish 60 years old, and we're celebrating this fashionista (and friend of Michelle Obama) by applauding his most outrageous outfits. There's kilts, magenta heels, and red leather -- oh my! And which are haute, haute, haute and which are horrendous? Take a look and let us know.

Love ALT and many more Happy Birthdays.

He is always spot-on with his comments on fashion and is a very creative, intelligent, nice person.

What's not to like? as the saying goes.

Besides, who else will keep turbans alive if not ALT?

Is he always going to costume party. I don't care how nice he is his clothes are hideous.

Andre is close friend and has always been very supportive in my career. He is a whole lot of personality in public and the nicest guy in public.

He has a very individual sense of fashion that doesn't often play well in Peoria, but then again not a lot of things do...

I'm quite surprised that HuffPo covered his birthday but at least it reminded me to text him Happy Birthday. So thanks!

He is a great guy to all of you passing judgment upon a person that has a heart of gold.

Happy birthday ALT!

Don't ever change, Mr. Talley! I love the fact that he does and wears whatever the heck he wants. Many more happy returns, sir.

Love love love the peach croc coat. I hope it's a fake.

Had to rate some of the outfits with apparent fur down. Even if it was fake, it could inspire others to wear fur.

Beyond that, I loved some of his looks and wish more men would feel free to adopt such practical and attractive styles as the long kilt-dress.

Andre is one of the kindest, down to earth, most real people in the fashion industry. He's warm
to everyone regardless of station. The man is genuine, and both laughs at the absurdity of
fashion, and takes it seriously. He's wonderful.
