We had no idea Project Runway alum Chris March was involved with designing Beyonce's world tour costumes, but apparently he was—and it's about to become a lot more widely known thanks to a brewing legal battle. E! News reports that the portly designer has filed a lawsuit against Thierry Mugler and Tancrede Prinz, who have failed to pay him for costumes he created for the singer's "I Am..." tour. Mugler reportedly hired March as the tour's "head of costumes" back in February, and although he fulfilled his responsibilities "to create, pattern, fit and deliver finished costumes" for the star, he's seeking over $45,000 in unpaid fees. Looks like March is fierce in more ways than one. [E! News]
