While other A-list guests came wearing regular gloves for keeping their hands warm.

As being reported, those colorful mittens were made by Jen Ellis, a teacher from Essex Junction, Vt. And were given to him two years ago. Mittens were made from repurposed wool sweaters and lined with fleece made from recycled plastic bottles.
