content: A white wig worn by André 3000 of Outkast during concerts on a 2014 international tour. The custom-made wig is a short style with blunt, choppy tips and long lengths falling in front of the wearer's ears. Synthetic white hairs are attached to a thin strip of woven tape, which is formed into a skullcap using pieces of cream lace. A solid panel of cream lace is attached at the interior front quarter. A rectangular panel of cream synthetic fabric is attached at the interior center back with a length of thin ribbon across the middle of the panel that has lines of stitching forming flat loops in the ribbon. Two (2) cream elastic straps extend one on each side from the center back, each strap has a plastic hook at the end closest to the center back that is attached around the ribbon loops on the fabric panel.
