Kanye West Wears Leather Skirt For Madison Square Garden Concert (PHOTOS, POLL)

Kanye West has been a fan of women's clothes for some time, even wearing some women's tops like this Celine creation favored by Jessica Simpson.

But it wasn't until he hit his latest concert tour that he went fully female with (drum roll please)... a skirt.

Now we have nothing against men in skirts -- there's nothing like a good Andrej Pejic appearance on Jean Paul Gaultier's runway and we like us a good Marc Jacobs kilt every now and then. But we were surprised to see Yeezy assume his macho position as World's Biggest Hip Hop Star at Madison Square Garden last night in the unexpected look.

Joining Kanye on stage was Jay-Z, the other World's Biggest Hip Hop Star, who was unsurprisingly skirt-less. He did have on a passable pair of cargo pants, however.

Check out Kanye's sartorial statement below -- what do you think of the skirt-over-leggings look?

I don't like Kanye and don't get what the hype is about him.

Dude needs to get back into the studio to make up for that disappointing "throne."

That's nowhere near as glamorous as Leonardo DiCaprio is going to look playing J. Edgar Hoover.

A wise woman once said... "That is the ugliest effing skirt I have ever seen."

The shirt is too long, we can't see the skirt itself!

Well that explains his outbreaks. He is emotionally unstable because he is fighting something that is inside of himself. So Bush doesn't like black people and you are a cross dresser. Nobody is perfect.

and as sagging goes out of style .. up next , guys in Skirts !!! his musical expressions gay...now so is his clothing !!!

With all due respect, sagging will never go out of style... Who names it 'sagging' anyway? To me it's just how someone adjusts the fit of their jeans, calling it 'sagging' just sounds like you're doing it for comfort when you're actually doing it to help your fit.

Thug? Where did that come from? I don't recall hearing anything about Kanye West getting in trouble with the law.

Jay looks just as rediculous! thats my opinion though

the only people dumber than these crappers are the people that pay to watch these no-talent goons drag their knuckles around the stage.

I'm sorry but are you suggesting that Kanye West isn't talented. Get the eff outta here. Now I know he's controversal and you may not agree with the rants and headlines, but he is extremely talented as is jay-Z. Don't be ignorant. AS for the dress, it's abit much, that part i do agree with.

Kanye West talented?! I'm sorry, but you must be joking. He is a pathetic waste of space and sounds horrific live.

[Subzero]

I think he was making more of a racial statement than a talent statement. I wonder if he would refer to white artists as goons and their knuckles dragging the ground. lol.

Nice look. I'd like to see how the whole garment is constructed. Men in tunics is a custom as old as clothing.
