Singers' Craziest Onstage Outfits: A Look Back at the Most Shocking Costumes

Kevin Winter, Getty

How did Cee Lo Green manage to stand out in a performance that featured the Muppets and an Oscar winner? His wild ensemble, of course!

The singer stole the spotlight when he dueted his hit, "Forget You" with Gwyneth Paltrow at the 2011 Grammy Awards. While Gwyneth was applauded for her vocals, it was Cee Lo's bird-like costume that made the performance iconic.

For decades, singers have worn outfits as memorable as their music. (Madonna's cone bra, anyone?) So, we rounded up some of the wackiest costumes in pop music and found that stars will wear anything from live animals to, uh, dead ones.

Check out the apparel in the gallery below!

These poor celebs are SO starved for attention, I can't help but wonder if their parents didn't hold them enough as kids, or too much?
