Lady Gaga’s vintage Victorian look: tragic or not that bad?

lady_gaga_21_wenn3149766

Can I admit something? I kind of like this new Lady Gaga look, minus the boob window. It’s not so much a window as a gaping hole in her blouse in which her tittays are trying to escape. But other than that, it’s not a bad look. I’ve always had some affection for the Victorian look, though. It makes me think of Jane Erye, and of Michael Fassbender’s Mr. Rochester coming to nail me gently to the wall. Mm…wait, what were talking about? Oh, right. Gaga. Eh.

In other Gaga news, she had to cancel her Paris show over the weekend because of the terrible weather Europe has been having – I think Gaga got to Paris okay, it’s just that none of her equipment and stuff came in time. So she’s still in Paris – that’s where these photos are from.

Also, Gaga celebrated the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell over the weekend. She tweeted: “Can’t hold back the tears+pride. We did it! i Our voice was heard + today the Senate REPEALED DADT. A triumph for equality after 17 YEARS. Today I am so proud to be American. I wish I was home so I could throw a Parade. We are on the way…to full equal”. As you may remember, Gaga spent some time this fall campaigning for the repeal of DADT, because some of her monsters are probably gay soldiers (allegedly!).

    Is she still here? Ugh… Her fifteen minutes ended four steaks ago!

  2. Sarah says:

    The outfit is not horrible but I know she’s wearing those horrible shoes so that ruins the whole thing. You know she’s wearing them because people are helping her walk and hold her balance. If you can’t walk on your own in your shoes, it’s time to reconsider your footwear.

  3. Bill Hicks is God says:

    I can’t quite get this, is she being escorted ‘to’ or ‘from’ the Sanitarium? She looks positively tubercular.

    So yeah, I’ll go with tragic.

  4. DD says:

    Well it certainly makes her look like an old shrewd lady, but this look is normal for Gaga and her act.

  5. Rasputina says:

    Maaan, she’s so young, how come her lady bits look like my grandma’s?

  6. brin says:

    Granny’s gone gaga.

  7. Rachel says:

    Skanky Granny.

  8. Shay says:

    She looks like a walking cadaver. Like something that should be in Von Hagens’ Body Worlds exhibition.

  9. Lynnie says:

    Please stop giving this woman any attention. Thanks! 🙂

  10. Marjalane says:

    “Look at me, Look at me, Look at me, Look at me, Look at me, Look at me!”

    Christ. She might as well be a 5 year old on a diving board.

  11. kiko says:

    whats wrong with her boobs??

  12. BReed says:

    Her self esteem must be in the toilet if she feels she has to wear outrageous costumes all the time. I think she is tacky. It detracts.

  13. redlips says:

    GaGa has been tragic since she busted on the beginning!

  14. Stronzilla says:

    Jeez, does she never hem anything? No wonder someone has to lead her around by the hand.

  15. gabs says:

    I love it! Gagas awesome

  16. Delta Juliet says:

    Fug. Fug. Fug.

  17. REALIST says:

    It can’t be Victorian if she’s showing that much skin….

  18. manda says:

    I love her music, could not care less what she wears. She does have talent, even if the haters don’t want to admit it.

    Can we get on a book discussion? Jane Eyre–is it a good read? They made a movie out of it with the girl from Alice in Wonderland, the preview looks crazy! Ghosts and stuff. I just figured it would be horrible, like Dickens or Henry James.

  19. AngelaRae says:

    Too monochrome…everything from her hair to her makeup to her outfit…u-g-l-y. She needs to add a little color – maybe some lipstick…anything. She tries way to hard to be “different” and it all comes across as phony.

  20. TeeTee says:

    she looks like a doped up spinister from the 1800’s..

    She looks older than feisty Betty White.

    don’t understand the hype and not trying to anymore.

  21. samihami says:

    This person has no talent whatsoever. Her songs are vapid and shallow and she does not perform them well. I don’t understand why she is famous. She dresses like a moron and can’t sing.

    Whatever happened to talent being a prerequisite to stardom?

  22. constance says:

    Saggy boobs and those stupid played out glasses…. That’s supposed to be a good look? haha!

  23. aenflex says:

    wassamatter with her boobies? why they sag like that? she aint old!?!??!

  24. dread pirate cuervo says:

    1) She’s not that old, why are her boobs so pancakey? Does she bind them? Push-ups, girl! Like, get on the floor & do some push-ups & build your pectoral muscles.

    2) She looks like Gary Oldman’s Dracula, no offense to my love Gary Oldman or Dracula.

  25. Dizzybenny says:

    She looks like a vampire but the Mr. Burns version on the Simpsons.

  26. RHONYC says:

    i love gaga.

    whatever she wears may not be for me each and every time…but ya gotta luv her chutzpah!

    🙂

  27. Brooke says:

    the ensemble looks vaguely McQueen; not terrible without the front slit. the personage, however, is unrelentingly tragic.

  28. Praise St. Angie! says:

    I guess I’m split on Gaga.

    I like her music…it’s not ground-breaking, but it’s fun and good to work out to.

    her outfits, however…RIDICULOUS.

  29. Cheyenne says:

    I’ve seen her in worse.

  30. Nancy says:

    She is becoming really annoying with her tragically awful outfits she just looks plain stupid wearing them.

  31. moxy says:

    leave it to gaga to try to make looking like you have consumption “fashionable”

  32. irishserra says:

    Lady Gaga: Always tragic

  33. Trillion says:

    I think we’re all so used to seeing fake boobs that when we get a peek of real ones, we wonder why they don’t just jut out from her sternum. Breasts (natural ones) of a certain size just don’t do that.

  34. Lenore says:

    I like Gaga and I love Victoriana, and minus the boob window, I’d wear this myself if I had the cash. The thing that ruins the look for me is that she looks so damn miserable. If you’re going to dress every day as a Character, as the queen of Little Monsters or whatever, why not crack a smile and make your theatrics look – you know – fun? As opposed to looking like you take yourself so damn seriously? Every time I see a pap shot of her, her expression just says, “What was I thinking with this outfit? Seriously, tomorrow, I’m just wearing jeans and a [figuratively] bloody t-shirt.”

    No woman wearing Lennon specs, Dracula’s smoking jacket and flashing her tits in December has any business looking so grim.

  35. Cleo says:

    I love and appreciate the INTENSITY of her old Jewish grandma costumes. Remember her Married to the Mob wheelchair ensemble from the Paparazzi video? I feel like she’s about to make kugel for the family gathering. She is so YOUNG and so pretty and tender looking that her public appearances are just so jarring by contrast. What a sweet face she has and surprisingly elegant like the actress in the original Swept Away film.

  36. Yasmine says:

    Somewhere at the very moment Lady Gaga walked out in the outfit a 100 kittens were collectively strangled…..

  37. Yasmine says:

    ps, her boobs are saggy, I agree. But the kind that (I think) occurs after dramatic weight loss. And she has said that when she was in college and first starting out that her boobs were huge (and told by a teacher to wear looser clothing because of her boobs). So it’s like all the skin is still there, but the fat is gone. That’s just my guess.

  38. jover says:

    Thank you samihami my thoughts also; she’s famous because of massive corporate pr and marketing. And she’s not rebellious – how many corporate sponsorship, like Kodak, does she have? Last nite I watched Zeppelin do whole lotta love live from 1970 – that’s music with passion, heart, soul, and live musicianship – because gaga has willingly become corporate and commercial, her music, not much to begin with, really shows it’s weakness and thinness. Overexposure will break her as this empress has no clothes.

  39. clorismetchum says:

    god, i am so SICK of this tranny BEAST! (no offense to the trannies out there). seriously. what’s so great about this creature? why does it exist? why does everyone love it so much and laud it as the greatest thing to happen to music EVER?!?! i swear, its not doing anything madonna hasn’t already done 237832798237948625 times better. the only way i’m ever gonna be interested in this heinous he-bitch is when the inevitable “YEP! I HAVE A PENIS” people magazine cover happens. ugh. QUIT TRYING TO CONVINCE THE WORLD YOU HAVE A REAL, FUNCTIONING COOTER. everyone knows there’s a dong tucked in down there.
    and i agree, those tits are about two seconds away from dragging the floor behind it.

  40. original kate says:

    miss havisham gone wild.

  41. Sassy says:

    She’s really quite unfortunate looking. I hate her glasses and her outfit. But I like her rings.

  42. Alexa says:

    I think her outfit is GORGEOUS! It’s chic and she wears it well. She’s got a great body, and the kind of job that allows – even encourages – one to wear high fashion. Super HOT! (I LOVE that monochromatic putty color scheme – did you check out her nails?)

  43. Alarmjaguar says:

    I’m sorry, when I’m not wearing a bra, my boobs look like that — BECAUSE THEY ARE REAL, NOT PLASTIC.

  44. OtherChris says:

    @DetRiotGirl: Hilarious!

  45. OtherChris says:

    I’m a reasonably straight woman, but let’s face it: Everyone likes boobs and honestly, I think hers are lovely. They’re not totally perky, but most real ones aren’t.

    Can’t say I’m not sick of her music, though.

  46. Lenore says:

    Also – “why do her boobs look so flat/pancakey/saggy”?

    1. Because they’re real, and real boobs come in lots of different shapes and sizes, some of them less perky than others. This does not make them faulty.

    2. Because she’s wearing a heavy beaded top that’s pushing them down, and no bra to push back.

    Seriously, are people so used to seeing silicone enhancements, toupee tape, boob jobs and photoshop that they’ve forgotten what happens when flesh meets gravity?

  47. yupyupyup says:

    She looks like Oldman in Dracula (http://media.lunch.com/d/d7/284329.png).
    Only chestier and not as pretty looking.

  48. Kim says:

    Her shoes are so ridiculous and unable to be walked in that she has to be helped walk. – STUPID

  49. Bill Hicks is God says:

    Nice one Original Kate 🙂
    Miss Havisham off to the chemist’s for more laudanum…

  50. Hm says:

    She has a sense of humor and whimsy, what’s wrong with that?

  51. Gabriela says:

    Obsession towards Lady GaGa is fading as quickly as it came.
    I think I’m tired of her and her outfits. Can’t she go back to wearing disco globes and neon lights?

  52. original kate says:

    “Nice one Original Kate. Miss Havisham off to the chemist’s for more laudanum…”

    @ bill hicks: yes, any chance to whip out a miss havisham reference and i’m all over it. glad someone took it and ran with it.

  53. Megatrona says:

    Bill Hicks: I like you more and more every post!

    In my taste Ladick CACA is a fucking lame ass excuse of celebrity, she bores me with her trying too hard costumes and her cookie cutter sounds as everyone else poop music

    As for the boob thing, I agree so much on how everybody is so brainwashed with seeing rock hard racks that are fixed on their place as much as my upper jaw, that when a real boob shows up people need to ask what is wrong with them like she has a fourth nipple or something
    And on a last note to the person that suggest exercise to pick up the boobs: honey unfortunately that wouldn’t really help too much, we are talking knife at that size boob

  54. bagladey says:

    If the pieces had fit well it would be a nice outfit, but especially those boobs and that area of the clothes are just horrible. Gaga herself looks terrible; who would want to achieve that look, fashion or no fashion? She doesn’t even look like art, she looks like a person who has run out of things to do.

  55. kelly says:

    “Why are her boobs like that??” (I always imagine a panicked tone when I hear that sort of gem)

    Because they’re not stuffed with plastic gel or taped to her eyebrows, idiot. Reality. Gravity. Get to know them.

  56. Isa says:

    Seeing boobs like that makes me almost glad I have small ones. They’ll take forever to sag because there is nothing to weigh them down! 😀

    She should really not wear such high collars. She has no neck and it’s creepy. But yea, I’m over her ridic outfits. I miss when she first came out…and the black and glitter.

  57. LT says:

    Gaga is as fake as the Walmart checkout girl’s press-on nails.

  58. Debra says:

    I love Gaga’s music and I understand her interest in wild costumes and the importance of them to her popularity and competing with other performers. But, at a certain point, like here where she almost had a nice non-costume, but cut a slit in it to show bare skin in freezing temperatures, just as her pant-less, bare butt ensemble, her insecurity is showing so much it is tragic. It diminishes her credibility as a super-star as she should have enough self-confidence by now to not have to be in a costume all the time.
