Costume designer William Ivey Long has opened up about transforming vocal powerhouse Adam Lambert into the character of Eddie for the upcoming TV remake of 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'. 

Speaking in a video segment for FOX about designing Lambert's look for the reboot, Long explained

"Poor Eddie! He's a mess - covered in mud, ripped jeans, and not in a fashion sense! He's wearing this terrible T-shirt I painted in sort of a Basquiat homage of a scary image of him, then he's got this jacket which is sleeveless... it's like medieval armour and he's just so macho, and then gets totally destroyed by Doctor Frank-N-Furter."
