The style is GAGA.
Some call her style “genius.” Others prefer “crazy.” And then there is that proportion of the population that just doesn’t care, but find her pretty entertaining. No matter what, you have to give her some kind of props for wearing what she does-without a care in the world.
Since her days as Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, Gaga’s style has evolved and taken the fashion world by storm. It’s evolved from the hallways of Manhattan's Convent of the Sacred Heart School to, well, EVERYWHERE: the streets of London, New York, Tokyo, and even my very own Austin, Texas.
Back in her high school days, no one would suspect Gaga for who she is today. A natural brunette, Gaga’s style actually was normal-well, to her standards. Sporting jeans, suspenders, and a white tank in 2007…are we sure that this was the Mother Monster herself?
Since then, there has been a noticeable change is her style. In a June 2009 interview with People Magazine Gaga said that her outfits are from her own ideas. She gets some help though, collaborating with designers to make sure that her creations are just what she wants. One of her more popular accessories are these Alexander McQueen shoes. If you buy these, you better make sure that you have 911 on speed dial. You’re likely to fall.

Now Gaga has worn everything from dresses made of meat, to bubbles, to barely anything. One thing that you never see her in-denim. This may have something to do with the fact that her and country music go together about as well as ice cream and pickles. Recently however (in Austin, Texas no less), she was spotted wearing the unthinkable-JEANS. I mean, her wearing pants in general is pretty shocking, but jeans? Of course she put her own “Gaga” flair on them, and it may have something to do with the fact that she just released a “Country Road Version” of her recent hit “Born This Way."
So go forth, and follow these words of the Mother Monster herself:
"Do not allow people to dim your shine because they are blinded. Tell them to put on some sunglasses, cause we were born this way bitch!"
I happen to fall into the category of "don't really care but pretty entertaining." I think that regardless of whether you like her music and style (which pretty much go hand in hand) you can't help but respect that the woman has creativity and is really helping people to tap into their own individuality. I feel like this mindset is seriously lacking in Hollywood and so it's great to see someone in a role-model position helping people see their own creativity and encourage individual expression. great post!
