Fashionably Flustered.

As much as Lady Gaga upholds the image of having a crazy style, the act is getting OLD! I am a Gaga fan AKA "Little Monster." I even skipped school to sit in line outside all day to be front row at her Monster Ball Concert in Connecticut! However, I am getting annoyed with the crazy outfits. I have said I would be more impressed if she stepped out in a classic gown for one event and then proceeded to wear something extraordinary to another event. She needs to switch it up because once again the act is getting old. This week she was in NYC and stepped out in a total of 3 crazy outfits but one impressed me because it was a step closer to a purely classic haute couture gown!!! Check it out:

Lady Gaga in Alexander McQueen

#1 This piece is from Alexander McQueen's Fall 2011 collection. It is the ice white zipper detailed dress with a feathered skirt, shoulders and cuffs. The dress was paired with a Alaia belt, a feathered head-piece and McQueen black boots with a metal heel.

Lady Gaga in Alexandre Vauthier

#2 This piece was from the designer's Fall 2011 Couture collection. It is a red fitted dress with  a central split and balloon sleeves, BIG balloon sleeves. The outfit was completed with ruby accessories including platform heels, bug eye sunglasses, and leather gloves.

Lady Gaga in Valentino

#3 I am very impressed with this outfit choice even though it was ruined with the tan fur sole. Unfortunately, this outfit was selected for a photo shoot and not for her own personal choice of attire. She is wearing a gown with a sheer bodice, intricate gold detailing, and a trail into a feathered hem. It was completed with a headpiece and towering heels.

In conclusion, LADY GAGA, CHANGE IT UP!!!!

Designer Profile: Alexander McQueen

Quick Look:


"Alexander McQueen distinguished himself from the start with ground-breaking collections and dramatic avant-garde shows. The Savile Row-trained British designer graduated from Central St Martins in 1995 and went on to work as head designer at Givenchy before launching his eponymous label in 2001. Since his tragic death in 2010, McQueen's right-hand woman, Sarah Burton, has re-envisaged his fantastical aesthetic with a softer, more organic touch."

Alexander McQueen is one of my favorite designers. He used his clothes as a form or art. Most of you will be familiar with his work when thinking of Lady Gaga's tribute to him at the 2010 MTV VMAs (seen below).

McQueen hung himself in his closet last year and his company has henceforth been taken over by Sarah Burton who designed the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton's , wedding dress (seen below).

He was recently honored at the 2011 CFDA Fashion Awards and his still well-known throughout the world. 

RIP ALEXANDER MCQUEEN <3
