Lady Gaga in Alexander McQueen

Posted on Nov 11, 2011 in Fashion

Sometimes a strong jolt of Gaga is just what we need to kickstart the day. The coffee’s just not cutting it anymore.

Oh, thank you, you exquisitely cracked-out creature. Picking an outfit for the day doesn’t seem nearly as daunting now.

So much for casual Friday…

Damn it Gaga! Now I have to choose something DIFFERENT to wear today.

  Thank god my work attire is the always-fashionable pairing of green scrub top and green scrub pants. Don’t know what I’d do if I was faced every morning with a closet full of choices like this one!

    There is something to be said for walking around a medical facility with a gold-plated deer.
    
    I don’t know what that something to be said is, but I am sure it is cracktastic.

Great outfit, lots of fun. The real puzzler here is there is actually something called the “Bambi Awards”? REALLY?

  It is. And the east-german equivalent is called Golden Hen. If you are really popular in Germany, you get a zoo.

    Right, and don’t forget the Berlinale’s Golden Bear. It’s a full-on menagerie! (Never heard of the Hen.)

      You’re right1 Thank you!
      
      How could I forget the Golden Bear – I’m I big fan of the Berlinale!
      
      The Hen is not that popular. But it’s golden and the moment you get one, you got one item more in your cabinet to dust.

  I love the idea someone else posting about it being a fawn award…cracks me up. People do fawn over Gaga.

Ya know, she’s crazy and gets on my nerves more often than not, but I can’t deny that’s pretty goddamn fabulous.

I think her outfit needs antlers. Or would that be too literal?

Seeing the close-up photo made me realize that the “helmet” was actually part of the dress–it had seemed at first that it was a separate, though integral, piece. I wonder how many assistants are needed to help one actually get into this creation? Anyway, congratulations on the Bambi award (which I’m assuming was NOT for wearing a steak skirt……or eating skirt steaks) and kudos for yet another memorable look.

Wow. I appreciate seeing the craftsmanship of that gown in the close up view.

  Amen to that! You are looking at the power of Couture to create extraordinary beauty.

Starting to see these gowns on people on red carpets is reinforcing my suspicion that, while intricate and fabulous, I just did not really like this collection. They might be beautiful but they just don’t work.

Good god she’s fabulous!

Lady Gaga in Alexander McQueen is a no-brainer, yet everytime the result is breathtaking.

Lady Gaga channeling Isabela Blow. Hard.

  Well, there IS nothing new under the sun. And she’s an eager and hard working pupil of, as has been noted before, a plethora of her fashion forbears.
  
  And thanks for the link. I love the smile on the little boy’s face.

    It would be nice if she would acknowledge these things she’s borrowing from. The difference between referencing and paraphrasing is the citation.

  Thanks for the link. It was a very interesting article.

  Gaga is just wearing the outfit. She didn’t design it. So, it’s actually McQueen channeling Philip Treacy.

And of course the cracked out expression on her face completes the look. She could be auditioning for a Theda Bara biopic. I bed she’d be good!

  I see it as very Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard.

    Yeah, but she’s way too young for Norma Desmond. And anyway, Gloria was all haute couture. Theda was cracktastic…

Oh God how I adore the willingness to experiment. And she is totally KILLING that dress. The true measure of style is that you wear your clothes, not the other way around. She manages to be able to wear the most outrageous things and still look like she is entirely herself. What a great first image this morning. THANKS TLo!

She’s an Ed Gorey story! I love when fiction comes to life!

  My exact thought on first sight: “That’s a very Gorey head & shoulders!”

T-Lo, aren’t you gonna ask your unborn fawns what we think about the golden fawn??

What is the bambi award? Anyone?

The “Bambi” award??? Only in Germany or Austria.

She reminds me of the female aliens in “Alien Nation” (great movie!) in that dress. Pure Gaga. Gotta love her for that.

Love the eye makeup – along with the cap, she looks like a flapper from an Edward Gorey illustration.

  How I dearly love “bless her heart!” You can say most anything insulting in the south, so long as you bless the heart of the deranged person you’re denigrating.

Ouch. The model did it better, Gaga.

  I have to agree! lol

  I totally disagree because I think her makeup makes the look. On the model, the person in the dress disappears. On Gaga it’s a woman wearing the dress.
  
  Though, to be fair, making the clothes the focus IS a model’s job, so it’s not an even comparison.

Take note Florence darling – THIS is how you wear McQueen. You do not half-ass a dress like this. PS I want a Bambi award – they are so adorable! Little gold unborn fawns!
Haley Buchanan

I love that she wears not only McQueen’s gowns, but also the “kooky” parts like the bejeweled headpieces and lobster-claw shoes. Most of the time, when looks like this leave the runway, those bits get left behind. Gaga is of a special breed to be able to pull off the over-the-top nature of runway in real life.

Wow. That’s a stunning outfit. I wish she didn’t look so stoned.

Interesting that she’d pick a look that evokes silent films.

Totally a missed WERQ

Does anyone else think she selected that gown (or had help selecting that gown) because the dress matches the award?

She looks like some never before seen alien woodland nymph sent to earth in order to protect Bambi and all the other creatures of the wood.
Sheppard Morrison

She’s winning a ”
Fawn” award?

  Oh, genius! A fawn award for Gaga, how perfect.

Actually quite love the dress and head piece, but here eye make up is really ruining it. From afar it just looks like her mascara nad eyeliner is running down her face. Leave the damn McQueen to do the show, not you Gaga!
CQAussie

Good grief her headpiece is slowing eating her face alive. Horrifying sight first thing in the morning! P.S. loving the new banner fonts.

The Midol pose doesn’t really work when you’re holding Bambi.

Gaga Blend – cafe au lait with a subtle hint of LSD.

I was immediately reminded of Viserys’s Golden Crown from Game of Thrones. I love it.

This girl needs to start grabbing looks from China Fashion Week STAT. Mcqueen-esque looks work for her, and I honestly think that they’re the closest to carrying on Mcqueen’s legacy. Also, they’re gorgeous and I want to look at them some more.

Now *that’s* a look inspired by a bird. Watch and learn future Project Runway plants I mean contestants.

What the hell is a Bambi award?

I love.

And I think her makeup absolutely makes the look – it’s part of why she wears this dress rather than being worn by it. I’ll go so far as to say that without those silent film star eyes, the hood would just look like an elaborate head piece dumped on her head, not part of a “look.” I love how Gaga pays attention to the details (admittedly, I prefer it when the outfit is not so outre that the details no longer matter.)

My first thought was “That’s a very Gorey head & shoulders!”

Though I suspect the Gorey reference springs to mind mostly because my fashion/illustration knowledge is rather shallow.

Love this dress! I wish she had worn red on her nails instead of black, but pretty none the less.

Gaga is beginning to affect me like a pre-op dose of propofol. So tired . . .
Anonymous

it is a cool dress, but she looks like she’s sinking under the weight of the head dress, which totally cancels the fierceness factor to me. Plus, if someone in this look can elicit and “Eh, she looks okay” from me, then it is time to move to a new schtick.

On second thought, maybe it is great that this is now considered ordinary? I’m confused. Need more tea while I sort this out…

From a distance she looks like someone gave her a couple of black eyes. Hate the headpiece.
Joyce VG

This is so fantastic.
http://www.facebook.com/chloe.stabler Chloe Stabler

Man, this is such a great outfit, but I feel like it’s slightly ruined by the eye makeup. Almost gives the impression her face is starting to melt. But if you forget about that, it’s fierce.

I love how she kinda just drew on her face there under her eyes.

Love it! Absolutely love it. And I love her little pose too. Huzzah for Gaga and her cuckoo self.

It’s as if Madame O______ from Edward Gorey’s “The Object Lesson” threw herself from the tower, hit a pool of bleach and landed in our realm. I like it, even it is Gaga.

Thanks for the close up picture! I can’t believe the details on that dress! How many millions of beads and sequins did it take, do you think?
Susan Crawford

Shut the front door, the back door, the patio sliders and ALL the windows! She looks fabboo in this amazing dress. Only the late, great Isabella Blow could have pulled off this look with more panache. Excuse me while I light a candle in my Gaga Shrine.
Anonymous

Oh my god, this came so close to utter perfection. An inch or two more of face under the headpiece would have catapulted it into the realm of the divine. As it is, though, it’s just a wee bit “The Little Gladiator Who Could.”

And an unborn fawn trophy, too. Pefection.

Oddly ( or maybe appropriately since this is McQueen) my first thought thought was that she looks like Isabella Blow.
