The Atlanta artist's golden getup sends Twitter into an uproar.

ATLANTA, GA — Sunday night was a golden moment for one of Atlanta's most eclectic artists. CeeLo Green showed up on the Grammy Awards red carpet shimmering in a sort of gilded armor.

It was the most outrageous outfit of the night, but it served Ceelo well: He used the attention to unveil his newest persona, "Gnarly Davidson," complete with his own Twitter account.

The artist, who is one-half of the music duo Gnarls Barkley, tweeted Sunday night, "Meet @GnarlyDOfficial," the handle for Gnarly Davidson.

Speaking of Twitter, users had a field day with CeeLo's outfit. The memes started almost immediately. The all-gold ensemble was widely mocked on social media, but it brought considerable "shine" to the Atlanta singer and rapper.

The outfit seemed to be iridescent at one point, turning the crown of his head to a reddish hue as photographers snapped pictures on the red carpet.

Ceelo's golden garb may have made heads turn, but it was a golden voice that won the night.

Grammy night clearly belonged to Adele, who won the top award. The British singer used much of her limelight to put Beyonce in the spotlight, saying that she was a fangirl like millions of others.

"I am very humble and very gracious, but my artist of my life is Beyoncé, and this album, to me, the 'Lemonade' album is just so monumental, Beyoncé," she said.
