Under his jacket, he wore a black open-necked shirt and red-tinted sunglasses.
Pop star Elton completed his look by wearing a pair of gold shoes to match his suit.
Before he began his performance, he could be seen waving to the huge crowd at Worthy Farm.

Blondie’s Debbie Harry looked every bit an edgy rock star as she took to the Pyramid Stage to perform with her band on day five of Glastonbury Festival on Sunday.
The 77-year-old singer was spotted in Somerset, England, by fashion designer Stella McCartney (51) and actress Kate Hudson (44).
She wore a black sequined mini dress and matching jacket with a black t-shirt underneath.
The American hitmaker wore black leather thigh-high boots and futuristic mirrored sunglasses with dark visors as she took the stage with the band.
Blondie kicked off their set with the hit song “One Way Or Another” and opened with a static hum on the back screen, but some in the audience and at home claimed they couldn’t hear it.

Debbie then said the band needed to get the “phone songs” out of the way at the beginning of their set.
She addressed the crowd and said, “Good day, good evening, good day, good night.”
“Hello, thank you, it’s very nice to be here, I hope you all have a nice time.”
“We had to get those phone songs out of the way because none of it is relevant today, we all have our phones in our pockets.”
The US rockers continued to blast through hits “Will Anything Happen” and “Atomic,” which ended with the guitarist strumming his instrument behind his head.
Debbie came to the edge of the stage to cheer the audience even more as they performed “Rapture,” which featured intense guitar riffs.
They later switched to a more upbeat sound as they progressed to “The Tide Is High.” Harry got the audience singing along to the song once, describing it as “so pretty,” adding, “I love it.”
She reflected on Blondie’s relationship with Glastonbury as they returned to the festival after performing in 1999 and 2014.

“Blondie doesn’t sound great, can’t hear her!” wrote one person on Twitter.
Another shared from the audience: “For Blondie the sound is terrible here, the background music is way too loud and you can’t hear any vocals.”
While another TV viewer posted, ‘I’m going deaf because my TV isn’t working.’ I can barely hear her.’
“Blondie we can’t hear you honey,” another tweeted.
