Adam Lambert: 'There's a beauty in tacky fashion'

American Idol star Adam Lambert has revealed his passion for tacky fashion.

The 'For Your Entertainment' singer told Entertainment Weekly that his current look pays tribute to 1970s glam rock.

Lambert opined: "I think there's a beauty in tacky fashion. Even some of the pop performers of the past decade, it's real sparkly and flashy.

"I was trying to do my best homage to the late '70s glam rock idea, with the rhinestones and feathers, stuff that was as out-there and ridiculous as possible."

Explaining how his image has evolved, the 29-year-old added: "I've kind of started to tone it down in the respect that [my look] is not as flashy now.

"It's still different and avant-garde, but it's a bit more chic; a bit more designer as opposed to Vegas. I'd love to work on my own fashion line, accessory line, shoes or something. [But] obviously right now I'm focused on my music."
