In the bright starry sky of pop culture, Lady Gaga is undoubtedly the most dazzling star. She has not only conquered the global audience with her unique musical talent, but also become a symbol of the times with her bold, avant-garde fashion style and jaw-dropping performance moments. From shocking the red carpet in a raw meat dress to "hatching" in a dome, every appearance of Lady Gaga is like a visual feast, challenging our imagination and aesthetics. Every one of her looks and every performance is a perfect fusion of art and fashion, which is unforgettable. This article will take you to review the 12 most iconic moments in Lady Gaga's career and explore the infinite charm and creative talent of this pop queen.
1. Interview on a German talk show in 2009
Kermit may have left a deep impression on Lady Gaga's childhood. In 2009, she wore a "frog coat" designed by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac on the German talk show "Punkt 12". This unique coat is made up of multiple Kermit the Frog dolls, covering her upper body. In an interview, she said: "I always wear it like this because it inspires my life."
Her hair color is golden pink, and her short straight hair draped over her shoulders makes her girlish temperament more charming. Look! She also wears a separate frog headdress on her head, which not only maintains the unity of the shape, but also adds a unique interest. Her bright pink lip makeup is particularly eye-catching and always attracts attention inadvertently. And her eye makeup is also very good, with thick black eyeliner and mascara making her eyes look deeper and more energetic.
2. 2010 MTV Music Video
Lady Gaga's look at the 2010 MTV Music Video Awards was very unique and controversial. She wore a dress designed by designer Franc Fernandez, and the entire dress was spliced with raw beef slices, creating a unique visual effect. Her hat and boots were also made of raw beef, further strengthening the overall look.
Although Gaga was criticized by animal rights organizations for this look, her bold choice was also named the hottest fashion statement of 2010 by Time magazine.
Gaga's look was carefully created by stylist Nicola Formichetti and was very sophisticated. The large silver jewelry collar around her neck, the silver bracelets on her wrists and the silver rings were all shining and impressive.
What I like most is her unique hairstyle: soft and slightly curly silver hair, with blue-green highlights at the ends, showing a strong Lady Gaga style. The classic red lipstick complements the raw meat dress, her base makeup is natural and transparent, and the blush makes her complexion more rosy. The dark gray eyeshadow is applied along the eye sockets, making her eyes look deeper.
3. 2011 Grammy Awards
Lady Gaga can always do something fancy. At the 2011 Grammy Awards, she once again brought a unique performance to the audience. Gaga made a dramatic entrance, carried into the venue by several assistants in a giant egg-shaped container designed by Hussein Chalayan. After hatching from the giant egg, Gaga performed in a yellow corset and matching dress designed by Mugler designer Nicola Formichetti. When she accepted the award, she changed into a black Mugler corset, paired with a black leather tights and over-the-knee boots.
It is worth mentioning that Gaga's alien look "hatched" from the egg had "prosthetic limbs" on her face and shoulders, which was an extra alien touch created by famous makeup artist Val Garland. In order to match her overall alien theme, her makeup used a lot of metallic tones and exaggerated eye makeup. And the huge hat also further strengthened her futuristic style.
4. 2014 Oscars
Lady Gaga's look was very elegant this time. This silver strapless mermaid silhouette dress designed by Versace was particularly eye-catching. Made of soft, sultry lavender fabric, the gown was inlaid with delicate silver details, and the fitted mermaid silhouette perfectly showed off Gaga's figure. You might mistake the oversized lavender scarf around her neck for a fairy ornament, but in fact, the scarf was originally designed as a belt when it was presented as part of Versace's spring 2014 fashion collection. But it also adds drama to her look, doesn't it?
Her look and accessories were very simple. A pair of sparkling stud earrings, a ring and a bracelet, although the accessories were few, each piece was exquisite and natural. Her hair was very cleanly combed and the low bun made it more elegant.
Her makeup was fresh and natural, but her choice of Brian Atwood silver platform shoes was quite eye-catching. The thick sole design of these shoes is far more than ordinary high heels, and perfectly shows Gaga's signature style.
5.2016 Met Gala
The theme of this year's Met Gala is "Manus x Machina: Fashion in the Age of Technology", which seems to be tailor-made for Lady Gaga, who is often known for her eccentric looks. For this event, she abandoned the classic dresses she has preferred in the past few years and chose a futuristic outfit. She wore a metallic Versace suspender bra, paired with fishnet stockings and high-waisted shorts, plus a uniquely designed, shiny jacket that resembles a circuit board. The overall look is full of technology.
Although it is still unknown whether the future of technological fashion will not wear pants, it is indeed exciting and surprising to see Gaga appear in a wild style again. Her bold choice and unique style undoubtedly added a lot of highlights to the night.
Her lip makeup and eye makeup are very charming, and the flaming red lips and deep eyes make it difficult to look away. However, my favorite is her teardrop mole, which is really very feminine. Of course, the anti-gravity thick-soled high heels are also worthy of praise. This pair of several-inch thick-soled shoes is not something that ordinary women can handle. Her wild wavy hair, which was way beyond the 80s, was also very eye-catching. Oh, and don't forget the accessories, the earrings and rings really added a lot of highlights to the overall look.
6. 2017 Grammy Awards
At the 2017 Grammy Awards, Lady Gaga once again showed her unique rock queen style. The black leather two-piece designed by Alex Ulichny showed off her hot body and avant-garde fashion elements. The cropped top not only showed off her tight abs, but also boldly showed part of her chest. Uh, I want to say it's really sexy. The chain-decorated hot pants and rock-style pointed sleeves made her wild and uninhibited personality more prominent. Coupled with the combination of super high patent leather OTK boots and fishnet stockings, this look is simply typical Gaga style and unforgettable!
Her hairstyle is a fluffy and messy high ponytail with some pink highlights, exuding a sense of casualness. To further enhance this style, she also wore a pair of Ray-Ban classic aviator sunglasses, which was so cool!
Even though her eye makeup was blocked by the sunglasses, her sharp eyebrows and aggressive red lip makeup still highlighted her strength and sexiness. The clever use of highlights and shadows made her facial features look particularly delicate.
7. The UK premiere of "A Star Is Born"
At the UK premiere of "A Star Is Born", Lady Gaga's retro look was refreshing. This Victorian jacquard dress from Alexander McQueen is reminiscent of the Renaissance. The dress's corset design, Shakespearean collar, cascading skirt and white and gold embroidery are full of Renaissance charm. Although Gaga's style has always been wild, this retro dress from the 2013 autumn series unexpectedly fits her and shows the temperament of a medieval lady.
The white hair color and elegant updo make her look like an aristocratic lady. Her choice of accessories was also unique, wearing only a pair of sustainable lab-grown diamond earrings and a pearl from Anabela Chan. These accessories are not only environmentally friendly, but also add a sense of sophistication to her overall look. The teardrop mole adds a lot of charm to her, and the fresh and natural makeup makes her look more gentle and moving.
8.2019 Grammy Awards
Lady Gaga always likes to innovate. The silver sequin dress she wore at the 2019 Grammy Awards was originally a mini style. However, with the help of stylists Tom Eerebout and Sandra Amador, she modified the dress: lengthened the hem, turning it from an asymmetrical mini dress to a long dress, and added a thigh-high slit. She also paired it with metallic Jimmy Choo platform shoes, loose textured wavy hair and sexy smoky eyes. Although she chose nude lip makeup, I think it fits the overall look more perfectly.
Gaga's accessories are extremely luxurious. She wore a 91-carat diamond Tiffany Blue Book necklace and a pair of 10-carat princess-cut diamond earrings. The design of the necklace took more than a year. And Tiffany's Chief Artistic Officer Reed Krakoff said: "Since its launch in 1845, the annual Tiffany Blue Book series has been Tiffany's most exquisite hand-designed laboratory, and we are very happy to have artists like Lady Gaga wearing this series."
9. 2020 MTV Video Music Awards
In order to fit the theme, Lady Gaga chose a silver metallic dress at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards and paired it with a huge transparent helmet. The dress is highly structured, and the exaggerated silhouette is like a space suit or a sculpture. The choice of materials creates a strong sense of technology and brings a visual impact of the future world. All this is a tribute to the moon man statue at the awards ceremony.
In addition to the transparent round headdress that resembles an astronaut's helmet, Gaga also wore her favorite high-heeled thick-soled boots. Well, although I don't know if astronauts can wear high heels, Gaga's look is indeed eye-catching. The bracelets and rings she wears also add a lot of highlights to the overall look.
Silver is indeed in line with the future technology style. Although Gaga dyed her silver hair with light pink and light blue, it seemed to add a touch of fashion color to technology. Her bright skin and simple eye makeup make her look more feminine. Although the overall look is full of technology, it is still beautiful.
10. The UK premiere of "House of Gucci"
I have to praise Lady Gaga's purple look. Purple not only adds to her feminine charm, but the flowing cape makes her look like a queen. This purple dress from Gucci's 2022 spring ready-to-wear collection looks just right at the UK premiere of "House of Gucci". But I have to praise Gaga for being good at attracting attention. Her posture of showing the high slit of the silk chiffon dress is not only seductive, but also shows the characteristics of the dress. Of course, the photographer's timing is also great!
Her accessories are also very eye-catching. Lady Gaga accessorized her look with crystal-encrusted long-sleeved gloves and lace thigh-high stockings, as well as her signature black high-heeled platform boots. She also wore large diamond earrings from Tiffany & Co., adding a touch of luxury to the overall look.
In terms of makeup, Lady Gaga chose a purple smoky eye that matched her dress, making her eyes stand out. Her platinum-blonde hair was styled into a smooth, slightly curly look, and bangs were added, making the overall look both elegant and rock-and-roll.
11. The 28th Screen Actors Guild Awards
At the 28th Screen Actors Guild Awards, Lady Gaga did not choose an exaggerated outfit, but instead showed the demeanor of a gentle socialite. She wore a custom white gown designed by Armani Privé, and the deep V neckline and shiny sequin details on the chest of the gown added a bit of glamour to her. The mermaid silhouette design further highlighted her feminine charm, and the overall look was elegant and charming.
Although her hairstyle is not a classic Hollywood wave, the slightly curled platinum hair is still charming. Silver eyeshadow and black eyeliner outline her charming eyes, and bright pink lips and shiny skin are even more eye-catching. Tiffany & Co. jewelry adds a sense of luxury to her, and the overall look exudes old-school Hollywood charm.
12. 2022 Critics' Choice Awards
Lady Gaga's look at the 2022 Critics' Choice Awards was undoubtedly one of the highlights of the night. She rocked a revealing black and gold Gucci gown on the red carpet outside the Savoy Hotel in London. The open front design of the gown, paired with black lace sleeves and a skirt decorated with gold crystals, the overall look was bold and elegant.
Her makeup was equally eye-catching, using a two-tone shimmery yellow and copper gradient eyeshadow, paired with a sultry cat eyeliner and peachy lips. This makeup not only highlights her eyes, but also forms a perfect echo with her gown.
Her hair was tied up and rolled into retro curls, and the overall look was full of classic Hollywood glamour. This hairstyle not only added to her elegance, but also perfectly matched her overall look. The earrings and diamond bracelet she wore were from the Tiffany Blue Book series. As Tiffany's Chief Artistic Officer Reed Krakoff said, it is a pleasure to have artists like Lady Gaga wearing this series.
