Bye-bye Arby's hat, hello "The Grand Budapest Hotel" hat! Pharrell Williams, who caused an online buzz after last year's Grammy Awards with his iconic Vivienne Westwood hat, has started another uproar on Twitter with his fashion choice at the biggest music event this year.
Performing a different version of his hit single "Happy", the member of hip-hop band N.E.R.D wore short black pants, a tight long-sleeve top with several gold buttons, and a black hat with a chin strap. He seemed to channel the lobby bellboy, Zero, in Wes Anderson's movie "The Grand Budapest Hotel".
Actor Neil Patrick Harris was one of those who were quick to react to Pharrell's outfit. He tweeted, "Pharrell just can't stop wearing shorts..! Is this a Wes Anderson movie? Does he work at the Grammy Budapest Hotel?"
Another Twitter user, Nick Simmons, wrote, "Pharrell looks like he belongs in the Grand Budapest Hotel #TheGrammys." Larry Wright also posted, "Pharrell looks like the lobby boy from Grand Budapest Hotel. I keep expecting Ralph Fiennes to appear."
His fashion choice aside, Pharrell grabbed several trophies from the Sunday, February 8 Grammy Awards for Best Music Video and Best Pop Solo Performance, both for his hit song "Happy". His album "G I R L" was additionally named Best Urban Contemporary Album.
Still at the same event, Pharrell was caught staring at Taylor Swift from behind while she was talking animatedly to someone behind her. From his facial expression, it seemed that he was unimpressed by the country-turned-pop-superstar's exaggerated movement.
