Fashion: Lady Gaga

Ok so I am kind of obsessed with lady gaga right now.  I saw her on David Lachapelle's website and the shoot he did of her for Rolling Stone and noticed but she really peaked my interest when I saw the full explicit version of the video she did with Beyonce called telephone (not video phone which I don't like all that much) but telephone rocks, she sings better than Madonna ever did and pulls so many cultural references from Mathew Barney to Barbie and Ms Piggy (see kermit the frog dress).  She is smart and articulate and awesome and I love her costumes so here are some of my favorite.

 

Director Jonas Akerlund shot the Telephone video with Lady Gaga and Beyonce starring in it. The two pop divas looked sexy and fierce creating a fabulous team. But the most exciting part of the video is the fashion, styled by Nicola Formichetti with custom made outfits by Jean Charles de Castebaljac, Victor & Rolf, and Thierry Mugler. There are studs, crazy hats and animal prints galore, a feast for the eyes, in what looks like a very fun and stylish video.

Forget Best New Artist or Album of the Year, what we were most looking forward to at this year’s Grammy Awards was Lady Gaga‘s fashion ensembles and costume changes.

The moment the fashionista made her grand entrance on the red carpet, a frantic scurry ensued to find out who dressed the star. E! Red Carpet Correspondent Giuliana Rancichappen to be speaking with someone from theHouse of Gaga as the Lady arrived and looked stunned as the designer was finally revealed:Giorgio Armani Haute Couture. In fact, Giuliana asked twice just to be certain she heard correctly.

Lady Gaga, who was nominated for 5 Grammy Awards, was dressed exclusively in Giorgio Armani Privé for music’s big night.

Armani Prive, Spring 2010

Inspired by the 2010 collection?

Giorgio Armani said of the collaboration, “We hear Lady Gaga’s music everywhere we go. It is like a soundtrack of our times. In addition to her formidable songwriting skills, she is a modern fashion phenomenon. I am delighted to be creating these outfits on such an important night for her, the Grammys, and I wish her the best of luck.”

Her Gaga-ness didn’t disappoint fans, and curious onlookers, with several outfit changes throughout the night, all custom made by the Italian fashion designer.

As she hit the red carpet, Lady Gaga (real name: Stefani Germonatta) glided across the red carpet in a lilac iridescent Armani Privé confection, accessorized with jewel encrusted heel-less platform shoes. The celestial gown, which appears to be a version of a gown seen last week during Couture Fashion Week, was worn over a crystal-encrusted sheer bodysuit and paired with a silver metal spiky star sculpture.

“I am honored to be wearing Armani this evening,” Lady Gaga said in a statement. “The series of pieces Mr. Armani created for me are truly iconic; they represent not only beautiful fashion, but my spirit and essence as an artist. Mr. Armani is a fashion legend, and tonight would not have been the same without his touch, and his wonderful team.”

Out of this world!

The singer kicked off the night with her army of dancers in a theatrical version of “Poker Face” before welcoming Sir Elton John to the stage for a piano duet.

Wearing a sequined, bold shouldered green leotard by Armani Prive, the elaborate show included pyrotechnics and dramatic choreography.

“Take my picture, Hollywood. I want to be a star,” she bellowed, before pounding out the opening notes to her ballad “Speechless,” which she blended with John’s classic “Your Song.”  Elton customized his lyrics during their remix of ‘Your Song‘: “How wonderful life is with Gaga in the world!”

Keeping with the rather flamboyant nature of both artists, show producers made sure their conjoined piano was topped with severed mannequin arms and clawed hands. The dynamic duo had matching sunglasses covered in glitzy jewels and was smudged with grease.

As the night drew to a close, Gaga took home 2 awards:Best Electronic / Dance Album forThe Fame and Best Dance Recording for “Poker Face”. “We won two grammy’s already little monsters + I dedicate them to u!”Gaga tweetedearlier in the evening. “I ruined my makeup crying! Look for little monster suprise [sic] on the piano.”

Taking her seat in the audience, the singer wore a silver crystal-encrusted sheer bodysuit paired with a huge silver spiky headpiece and matching fitted blazer.

At the end of the evening, Gaga hit the press room in her spiky headdress and crystal-encrusted sheer bodysuit, but changed into a matching shimmering strapless minidress. From the front, Gaga glowed like a disco-ball in a simple strapless design that was covered in silver crystals. When she revealed the back, my jaw dropped.

The hem of the dress slowly ruffled into a structured cascade, revealing her jeweled panties from behind. Also, we finally got to see the back of her sheer bodysuit, which appeared to have embellishments in the shape of her space. Business in the front and a party in the back. What a grand exit!

Once inside, Gaga more or less swept the awards, picking up 8 Moonmen (out of 13 total nominations). She changed outfits between awards, of course.

Her outfit of the night? Quite possibly, the one made of meat.
