Facets of Lady Gaga Costume
September 2nd, 2010
Love to hate her or hate to love her? Either way, no one can stop the media from calling Lady Gaga the fashion icon of the century. Her fashion sense is simply out of this world. However, no animals are hurt in the process. Every month, we hear news of her astonishing costume dress up. Let us reminisce some key highlights of her fashion journey from the beginning of the 2010 till now.
January 2010, she wore a hat made entirely from her own hair when she appeared in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show. Lady Gaga said she will create fashion, technology and photography products. Fashion Police captured her stunning moment at the red carpet dawn in an “iridescen Armani Prive swirling confection, accessorized with sparkling heelless platforms and a giant star.” Absolutely beautiful and elegant for the glamorous Grammy Awards.
February 2010, destination Brit Awards. She was the first to arrive and in great style that seemed to leave an ever-lasting impression upon the crowd. Lady Gaga appeared on the red carpet “sporting a white tiered Francesco Scognamiglio dress with a white pompadour wig that would make even Amy Winehouse’s beehive appear tame.”
March 2010, venue BBC Friday Night with Jonathon Ross. Punchline this round is a hair raising “hair phone”. A successful marketing tactics I would say to promote her single “Telephone”. Definitely another top charter of fashion forums.
Apr 2010, Fashion Yearbook. Vote results for the best and worst costume worn by her. Best ones include “Pretty in Hot Pink”, a bubblegum pink, structured cocktail dress for the 2007 Brit Awards. “Futuristic Disco Queen” glitzy disco dress that she wore at the 2009 Glastonbury Music Festival. “Banana Jacket” that sports a button collar, sunny hue color-blocked with black stripes fabric, fingerless leather gloves, and over-sized, open sleeves. “Lilac Rabbit” sporting a lilac blond bob under a black veil with 2 black lace bunny ears by Maison Michel on the cover of Spanish magazine Neo 2. “Dripping in Pearls” all-white pearl outfit, including her body and face. Worst costumes include “Plain Lady Gaga”, “Blubble Wrap”, “Gaga Little Tea Pot”, “Layer Cake” and “Muppet Slayer”
May 2010, Time magazine included Gaga in its annual Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world
June 2010, revelation of the fashion rundown for her latest single “Alejandro”. Gaga’s steam punk inspired binocular headdress is by Nasir Mazhar and the black Victorian-style cape was custom-made by the late designer Alexander McQueen. She wore underwear by Calvin Klein, black heels by Christian Louboutin and stockings by Agent Provocateur. The red nun outfit is custom made by Atsuko Kudo and its worn with a rosary bead necklace and jewels by Pamela Love. Gaga’s Joan of Arc tunic is a rubber piece custom-made by Jaiden rVa James with platform shoes by Noritaka Tatehana.
July 2010, performed for the Costume Institute ball at the Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of her Monster Ball tour. She looked like “a cross between Catwoman and Gene Simmons” as put by Washington Post. Needless to say, this invited an avalanche of critics who dethroned her from being a fashion “icon”.
August 2010, Staples Center. Lady G wore plastic bubbles on her bod, red lace over her face, 10-inch Alexander McQueen “armadilio” shoes on her feet and an Armani “Space Age” dress constructed of glittery rings that seemed to orbit around her. Turning the singing artist into a human disco ball.
