Histrionic, audacious, theatrical. Lady Gaga is the pop queen of style Camptoday is his 37th birthday

TOaudacious, histrionic, exaggerated. Net of the talent of an all-round performer, from the very first moments of his career Lady Gaga strongly focused on the scenographic factor. And she won, thanks – also – to three looks that unquestionably made history

Lady Gaga at the Met Gala with the 4-part dress

Singer, dancer, actress, show-stealer. One twist after another, Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta managed to establish itself as the definitive pop icon of the turn of the millennium. Shedding skin like a real chameleon, very good at anticipating tomorrow’s trends. But above all, the star of the soundtrack of Top Gun: Maverick she is truly number one in the art of surprising, always hovering between fashion, theater and provocation

The character is so sui generis as to be able to make inroads even in the heart of the demanding audience of Met Gala, already abundantly accustomed to amazing and unconventional looks. In 2019, to say, he outclassed Harry Styles in lace and jabot and Katy Perry in a living chandelier version. Showing off an elaborate outfit in four alternating fuchsia and black chapters directly on the pink carpet most sought after by the stars

Designed by Brandon Maxwell, the multiple dress designed for the theme of that edition “Camp: Notes on Fashion” in homage to Susan Sontag is the emblem of a multifaceted personality. But also ultra receptive and able to riding contemporary themes without fear of daring with excesses and tricks. As can be clearly seen from the other two looks sported previously

Space style in the year of Covid

The trail of his apparitions that became legendary is endless, but some we will remember more because they are linked to indelible historical moments. Like 2020 and the first period of the Covid emergency, interpreted by the protagonist of A star is born with a series of outfits in which the face protection becomes a couture element

The most emblematic moment of anxiety and anguish of this period is reflected in the numerous looks sported at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards. In which she wears various masks, from the one with Lance Victor Moore’s horns to the pink one by Cecilio Castrillo. Without forgetting of course the transparent helmet by designer and wardrobe fabricator (beloved by Billie Eilish and Madonna) Conrad Muscarella worn with the foil-effect dress by Area

The first meat dress of history

However, we find the real coup de theater by rewinding the tape of time even further. Drawing from the deck of his most discussed and controversial outfits the famous (and equally infamous) Meat Dress designed by Franc Fernandez with styling by Nicola Formichetti.

Nominated by Time Magazine as Biggest Fashion Statement of 2010The asymmetrical dress it was worn at that year’s MTV Video Music Awards to receive the “Video of the Year” award. Composed of raw beef, the outfit – sewn on the spot and later entrusted to a taxidermist – also included the bag, boots and hat. And it was highly criticized by animal rights associations, but for Gaga a way of saying: we must fight to the end for the things we believe in
