I’ve just seen the 1985 promo video for The Eurythmics’ ‘There Must Be An Angel’ - there is a section where a guy is dressed as a silver unicorn and it immediately hit me that he is wearing the exact same outfit that John wore the year before for the ‘It’s A Hard Life’ promo video!
I assumed all the costumes were custom made (Freddie’s certainly was), and so if that’s the case then someone on set must have ’procured’ it, and then it got reused. Alternatively, if John’s costume was an ‘off the shelf’ one then it seems someone on The Eurythmics’ video concept must also have picked one up somewhere!

Wow! Great find. Yes, it's the same costume. Actually I never noticed before that first time John and Roger appear in 'It's A Hard Life' video, John holds the 'head' of this unicorn costume.

Was it one of the videos with costumes by Diana Moseley?

Could be a stock outfit from Angels & Bermans that provided all costumes for films / theatre / music videos back in the day.
Think they closed down the main London store now.
Most costume designers used the place

That is a good catch! Interesting. In watching IAHL now, I noticed that, when Freddie is sitting at the table, Roger and John are talking to a woman just behind Freddie and she is now wearing the unicorn head.

My mate Steve played the singing Angel in the video for There Must Be An Angel. He also played 'Spudgun' in Bottom with Rik Mayall.
