(I mean, it’s a timid attempt, but it’s one of the few examples from this century - must count for something)

Beefheart wore capes in the early 70s, including this amazing one with clouds blowing the wind. You can see it better in the Click Clack video below.

I so badly wanted to post "I see your Beefheart and raise you Meat Loaf."

Unfortunately I could not find a good shot of Mr. Loaf wearing a cape. He DOES wear a short cape in the motorcycle segment of the "Anything for Love" video. I could not find a good still. But the truth is out there.

Rihanna is extremely cape-adjacent.

It’s hard to be sure: does this “heart-shaped cape” fit our bill?

Or this “one-sleeved cape”?

However, this one is just perfect:

Rihanna's cape skills are so far above and beyond our ordinary mortal comprehension she is totally free to rock any cape, cloak, poncho or space-princess-garment-of-awesomeness and I will allow it!

Os Mutantes looking like mages from Final Fantasy.

I would be surprised if Bjork never wore a cape.

Probably lots of black and doom metal.

Great thread.
