Cee-Lo Green shocked with Grammys feathers

15th February 2011

(Cover) - EN Star Style - Cee-Lo Green has been praised for owning his feather Grammys attire, which was the lightest outfit ever.

The musician wowed crowds with his and actress Gwyneth Paltrows duet of his hit Forget You at Sunday nights 53rd Annual Grammy Awards.

Cee-Lo wore an extravagant multi-coloured feather jumpsuit to take to the stage, and according to his stylist Shawn Barton, the singers panache really helped him carry of the wacky attire.

Its the lightest outfit ever. It was a jumpsuit, Velcro-ed in the front. The wings, he put those on like you would a backpack. Then it was the chain metal-mirror headpiece. It all fit in a flat box. The heaviest thing was maybe the headpiece. I would say that weighed about 12lbs., Shawn told Entertainment Weekly.

The reaction from people was priceless because he didnt rehearse in the costume. Everyone else was rehearsing in their costumes, but he had on a T-shirt and flip flops. So when he walked out [in the costume], it was, Oh damn! He owned it. Everyone literally stopped what they were doing and cheered. It was the greatest thing ever.

The kooky outfit was made by talented designer Maria Harper, who has been collaborating with Cee-Lo for some time. Maria handmade every aspect of the outfit, including the ornate headpiece.

Shes fantastic designer who makes costumes. She was absolutely just divine in her creation of making that. Maria has been working with Cee-Lo, as far as constructing his costumes, for a little while now. She had done things for Cee-Lo when he was in Goody Mob and worked with other artists in Goody Mob, added Shawn. (C) Cover Media
