Is that Gaga?! Yes it is, before reaching International status as the racy & risqué music star we know today, Gaga was locally known as Stefani Germanotta in NYC. This was long before she ever thought to wear zippers on her eyes or even a bedazzled orthopedic cask around her neck, but she still had the over-the-top personality that everyone has fallen in love with.

This Viktor & Rolf football-inspired piece put Gaga on the map & she made it known that she’d become the next rising star. But, what actually makes this outrageous ‘costume’ work is the bow she made out of her own weave… guess she was bored with an actual hair bow and thought this look would be innovative. Well, she was right!

This Alexander Wang inspired piece gives a mix of “Alice in Wonderland” meets Yoko Ono.

Even a day out in Paris, Gaga is setting trends with her usage of oversized shoulder pads. This fad is now worn by Rihanna & Beyonce, respectively.

At a Marc Jacobs show this past fall, Gaga performed in front of the crowd dress in a red-lace number accessorized with a Patti LaBelle-esque sunflower hairpiece in her head.

In November, Gaga appeared at Best Buy for an autograph signing for her second album, The Famed Monster, dressed in an Alexander McQueen black number with “Hunchback of Notre Dame” shoulder pads.

In a recent fashion spread, Gaga appeared in “Cosmopolitan” rather… normal. Stripped from her drag queen makeup & overpowering costumes, she almost shares an uncanny resemblance to Madonna.

At the MTV Video Music Awards, Gaga accepted her award in a red lace Alexander McQueen dress with a tiara on her head. The look was inspired by the death of Princess Diana: the red lace represented Diana’s blood.

This look was modeled in Gaga’s recent video for “Telephone”, featuring Beyonce. As you can see, she has a telephone made out of hair on her head.
