LADY GAGA - FASHIONISTA (November 09)

Since Lady Gaga's arrival on the music scene, there has been as much opinion on her bold fashion choices as on her music. Her daring style might not please everybody, but it's a refreshingly individual take on the looks of the moment, combining extreme trends from the couture catwalks with edgy costumes and unique accessories. It may not result in an outfit you'd wear around campus, but her statement designs reinvent safe and predictable looks as lively, adventurous and dramatic, even as performance art. Looking good is down to making trends your own, and Lady Gaga has definitely mastered that- she knows the key looks and adds fun, pushing the fashion boundaries with a nod to current fabrics and cuts, like leather and lace at the VMAs, metallics, high waists and this season's big shoulders. She shows that fashion doesn't have to be delicate, it can be as over-the-top and expressive as you want. By teaming her ensembles with eye-catching accessories like bows, masks and of course the teacup, plus her ever-changing bright blonde hair, the Lady ensures her look remains fresh and interesting, and that she never puts a foot wrong. Her exaggerated futuristic style shows there's no limit to her confidence, and that kermit outfit shows there's no end to her unique wardrobe too. The fashion scene is welcoming Gaga as the style icon of 2010, who knows what fashion is and is not afraid to give it her own original and dynamic twist.

For me this look shows just how fashion-forward Lady Gaga is, the "origami" dress ticks all the trend boxes: asymmetric, metallic, leather and structured, it wouldn't seem out of place on the catwalk. It is bold and individual, and the gold diamonds add an unconventional, fun edge. She makes the dress her own with the leather gloves and Louboutin shoe-boots; her look here is unique, confident and stylish.
