After bringing the musical world together this weekend for the Global Citizen virtual concert, Lady Gaga remains top of mind. Here, a deep dive through the years of her most memorable fashion.
B+: Early days Lady Gaga — you know, when she used to show up for the launch of a new cell phone, as was the case here. This look is very pop princess, not yet full-fledged fashion icon. But we still love the hair bow and pink high heels. Very Malibu Barbie.
B+: She’s already upped her game to the next level. She not only swept the 2010 MTV VMAs, she also won the red carpet with this Philip Treacy hat, Alexander McQueen dress and impossible to walk in yet extremely chic armadillo shoes. The blue tips of her hair are an example of Gaga’s long-running commitment to using hair as the ultimate accessory.
