Was he really wearing that slim-fitting plum suit with a high neck?
Die-hard Elvis fans might criticize that this suit is not a true-to-life costume that the King of Rock 'n' Roll actually wore on stage, but a fake one that Austin Butler is now wearing on stage role of Elvis in the film of the same name (theatrical release June 23).
But is that bad?

It's been 30 years since Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann and Italian designer Miuccia Prada met.
And even then, as both of them recalled in an interview with the Australian "Vogue", they would have spent less time talking about fashion or costumes and more about what holds the world together at its core.
"Elvis" is less a costume film and more about America in the 1950s and 1960s, says Luhrmann.
About a young man who discovers rhythm and blues, and a sales representative (Tom Hanks) who discovers the young man and wants to sell him from now on in the same way he did before with the miracle drug snake oil - as profitably as possible.
Elvis is the second major collaboration between Prada and Luhrmann and his wife, costume designer Catherine Martin, since The Great Gatsby.
Even then, the trio was not interested in a kind of museum adaptation of the fashion and lifestyle of the 1920s, but rather a reinterpretation of that time.
To a certain extent, this is a specialty of Miuccia Prada: using the past decades as play material in order to transport them into the modern age.
The sixties have always been one of the Italian woman's favorite decades, the decade of new beginnings associated with the rise of the miniskirt.
It is fitting that Priscilla Presley wore one in numerous photos that showed her with a teased hairstyle: this summer it is celebrating its big comeback as a micro version – also at Prada.
