Has The World Just Gone GaGa For Lady GaGa?!

The name on everyone's lips is, "Lady Gaga". Born Stefani Joanne Angelina, GaGa has become a very popular household name whether it be her music or her extreme fashion sense, Lady GaGa never fails to hit the newspaper headlines.



I believe that she is an iconic figure within the fashion world as she has dressed from one scale of the spectrum to another, her recent was that of a "Meat Dress" which GaGa wore for the VMA's 2010. Designed by non other than Franc Fernandez. He also designed the "Meat Bikini" which Lady GaGa wore for an issue of Vogue Hommes Japan; infuriating the Peta Followers. Was this a step too far?



Regardless of this, I believe that Lady GaGa has a Passion For Fashion as well as making a statement. One of my personal favorite outfits has been the design of Thierry Mugler's Crystal encrusted mini dress. Lady GaGa rocked out both versions, The White at American Music Awards afterparty 2008 and The Black at the O2 Arena in London in 2009.



I feel that the Late Alexander Mcqueen was also a heavy influence on GaGa's style. Dressing GaGa put Mcqueen's designs on the map, to show the world he wasn't just an amateur designer but a talanted and raw creator in the world of fashion. He became known for his design input for Lady GaGa's "Bad Romance" video. Wearing Mcqueen from head to toe; GaGa changed high fashion into a movement through music. As well as this, Mcqueen designed GaGa's famous Red Lace atire seen at the 2009 MTV VMA's while accepting an award for Best New Artist. This showed the world that Lady GaGa was here to stay and change the dynamics of Fashion & Music.






Another fave look is that of the famous "News Print Catsuit" worn on stage while GaGa performed in Sydney. The catsuit had cuttings from headlines of the British Tabloid, The Sun which in return showed the world that regardless of all the media attention to her style, GaGa is an iconic musical figure.


I feel that without this transition into the musical and fashion world, celebrities would just look rather ordinary or play it safe with the "Little Black Dress" number. But with Lady GaGa's venture into both industries, it has upstaged many famous Pop Divas such as Beyonce and Rhianna to change they're look and flaunt it anytime, anywhere AND for that I Salute You Lady GaGa!
