He left the hat at home, but Pharrell still made a fashion statement at the Oscars Sunday night.
After causing a stir with his Arby’s-eque hat at the Grammys, the musician and Oscar nominee stepped out onto the Academy Awards carpet in a Lanvin tuxedo with a twist: he wore shorts instead of pants.
The tight, tailored shorts hit just above the knee, making a very bold statement at the most formal of formal award shows.
Pharrell is nominated for the Oscar for best song for his track “Happy,” which appears in the film “Despicable Me 2.” He is set to perform it live during the telecast, as well as are his fellow nominees U2, Idina Menzel and Karen O.
