Lady Gaga has left a wake of fashion destruction after making a one-day appearance at London Fashion Week yesterday. She was invited (for whatever reason, probably just stunt modelling casting) to take to the catwalk and officially open the showcase for hat designer Phillip Treacy, and of course she couldn’t just show up and act like a normal model. Nope. Gaga had to make the experience into “ART.” Can you imagine being one of the stylists who puts together these wacky outfits for the sake a series of seconds-long photo ops? I guess it must be worth it for Gaga’s team to invest the time and money since we’re engaging in the inevitable Monday Morning Quarterback discussion of these ensembles.
First up on Gaga’s agenda was this relatively cute jade green dress with velvet detailing and matching boots that she paired with a bizarre floral headdress that encased her whole head, aside from that famous face. It goes without saying that she looked entirely ridiculous.
This is what Gaga actually wore on the runway. I guess her prediction about “mint” being big was a bit off the mark, no? I don’t even know what to say about this hot pink mess — it wasn’t even part of the show, but Gaga owned it anyway.
After the show, Gaga donned a monochrome pants and jacket combo that she paired with massive mouse ears. Poor Mickey. He never asked for this.
Then (and yes, this is still the same evening) she shrouded herself in a fur-lined mess of a burka-inspired outfit. Only Gaga’s eyes were visible thanks to a brown silk scarf over her face that was capped by a pink jeweled headdress of sorts. Basically, she’s trying to offend several groups at the same time. How avant garde.
Finally, Gaga decided it was time to end her brief reign of fashion madness in London. Here she is this morning whilst departing her hotel for the airport and appearing almost normal by Gaga standards in a shirt also sported by Vivienne Westwood. Amsterdam, beware!

Okay seriously…what is up with her face? It can’t just be the new haircolor making her look so different can it? I know she’s gained some weight which…yeah.
For the flower headdress, I seem to remember Twiggy or another model doing something of that style years ago for an editorial.
Also…if PETA is gonna attack and pour bleach or whatever on anyone…gotta say Gaga deserves it. There’s something just ESPECIALLY obnoxious about the way she’s wearing fur now. Maybe you can accept it if it went towards a coat or something somewhat practical, but she’s just ripping up animals to make tassels out of for some Lawrence of Arabia outfit? urgh.
If there is such a thing as reincarnation, I hope that she comes back as a raccoon trapped in a steel-jawed leg-hold trap.
She is nauseating.
I agree. I hate her so much. She is an insufferable, loathsome person who pretends to be all “Ohh, I’m going to fight for the little person, the one who is bullied, because I’m all about love” and then she proudly wears fur. She makes me want to puke.
@Boo: Sticking up for bullied people and not wearing fur don’t have anything to do with each other.
If she said she would never wear fur, you could say that she did something wrong or was a hypocrite. If she said she disliked bullying and then bullied someone, you could say she was wrong or a hypocrite. I don’t recall her bullying anyone (certainly not anyone that could be described as one of the little people) or saying she doesn’t wear fur. Therefore, while you may not like her and you equate fighting for the little people and being all about love with not wearing fur, she didn’t actually go against what she has represented her feelings in either of those matters to be.
I completely agree with you and Boo on this one.
She said she didn’t like bullying and that were all ‘born this way’ and then didn’t say a peep when her little monsters started attacking Adele about her weight on Twitter UNTIL…MTV wrote an article on it and how hypocritical it was.
Then she finally gave a flimsy ‘cut it out’ for the sake of publicity.
@Trek Girl: In 2009 when she wore the Kermit coat she told Ellen DeGeneres: “I really loved this one in particular because I thought it was commentary on not wearing fur, ’cause I hate fur and I don’t wear fur. We were all laughing in the house about how it looks like a pile of dead Kermits.”
Trek Girl, okay. She’s not a hypocrite. She’s just a miserable, cruel-hearted, self-serving bi-ch who doesn’t give a shit about animals. And don’t tell me she loves her dog…or we go back to hypocrite.
@boo
I do believe her purse/bag is declaring what she is.
Ahem.
Botox, fillers, restylane and a shitload of crack.
I am confused, I thought she buzzed and cut her hair for Terry Richardson’s mother?
Off topic, but the relationship Terry Richardson has with his mother is a little Oedipus rex like, it’s nauseating.
Lady Gaga’s makeup and eyebrows have looked extra terrifying lately that they eclipse her outlandish outfits.
She buzzed a section above her neck in the back that is coveted by the rest of her hair when down. She didn’t shave her head like Kellie Pickler in support of her friend. Gaga just shaved a small portion for publicity. And her fans ate calling her brave. Lol
Actually a while back on ellen she said she would never wear fur so she is a hypocrite .
She only shaved her head in preparations for the tattoo she got.
I love this freak. 😀
Wow; there are no words.
She’s ridiculous.
And what’s with the wreath on her head?
Boring.
I can’t imagine wearing all that ridiculous crap all the time-it must be exhausting.
That’s exactly how I feel about her. Can’t you just throw on jeans and a t-shirt for once?!?!?!
What does it say on her purse? At first I thought it said COIN.
Cutie
I think it says “c*nt.” Isn’t that special?!
I’m pretty sure it actually says c*nt
Oh geez you’re right!
Ugh, I could at least understand that sickening cutesy color scheme and glitter when it said cutie.
Who makes such a cheesy purse with such an offensive saying? Freaking Gaga…
Such a try hard. She annoys me.. A LOT. Can’t stand when people act like they’re really hardcore or soooo avantgarde, then they put out vapid bubble-gum pop. I feel more embarrassment for them, than awe.
So true. Shes a fake and her act is getting boring.
haha reminds me of little kristen dunst: vampires pretending to be humans pretending to be vampires. how avant garde.
I would never work for her, she is too much work..noooo thanks to BlahBlah.
The flower thingy, reminds me of a good short horror film idea, involving bees.
shivers
oh BlahBlah, smdh
The look on her face lately says to me that even she is over her own BS. How much would it suck to feel like you can’t leave the house without wearing shoes you can’t walk in, headpieces that block your view, crazy dresses you trip on, etc.??? She looks like she’s had more plastic surgery or something but she also just looks dead behind the eyes.
I agree fully Claire – here’s a radical thought – why doesn’t this knucklehead spend more time trying to create better pop music than the generic stuff her team cranks out than appearing at fashion shows, etc. I hear she’s a musician of sorts – anyway i’m going to get revved up for the day by listening to a few tunes from Zeppelin’s How the west was won – what slight interest i had in this tryhard is pretty much gone. Good comment ainsley but lacking real talent what is left? If i were an agency signed model i’d be pissed this example of anti-fashion was allowed on any catwalk.
What GaGa wears and is wearing on the runway is par for the course with fashion shows and fashion.
There really isn’t anything a signed model could get mad about when it comes to what she’s wearing. In fact, the outfit in the first picture and several items in most of the other pictures are from the collections of well known, highly regarded designers. Look at more fashion shows and and you’ll see exactly what I mean.
Ugh, look at all those fox tails.Somehow I doubt she bothered to find those with effort toward discouraging hunting/trapping. I have many fox tails myself (for a costume), but I *always* go to a woman (a taxidermist) who is given such things (feathers/fur/scraps) by a national park. Those animals were either killed by a car, confiscated by park services from illegal hunters/poachers, & scraps from old/damaged fur coats.
I feel comfortable doing this because it would be a waste not to, & it would be thrown away. Since you can’t bring them back to life, especially regarding fur coats (which I’m totally against). At least that way I’m not contributing to the ‘demand’ or cruelty.
Gaga is a hot mess. she was obviously going for the ‘I’m a flower’ look, wearing green all the way down, like a stem. She looks ridiculous.
In the second mouse ears picture, she looks like the “old” Brittany Murphy. RIP.
I wish she looked like the current Brittany Murphy, if you catch my drift.
Boring and predictable. She looks desperate because she probably realised that without all these freaky clothes she is nothing. She knows that only with her poor music she is not able to get all that attention. How sad.
What a waste of effot! Put it towards something worthwhile Gaga! When she first came around I loved her uniqueness. Now it seems like she’s trying so hard to stay relevant its like watching an 80 year old pretend they’re 16. She has talent but hasn’t used it in years. We don’t need to be shocked we wanted to be awed! And by a voice hidden by crap lyrics and beats. I don’t mind her using her music to give a voice (apparently) for those who could use it (bully victims, gays, etc) but couldn’t she do so with class? Her whole shtick lately makes what she sings about seem less serious which is concerning. I want to take her, her lyrics and music seriously but I just can’t when she looks like that and is so clearly driven by her obsession with attention for being so “different”. Boooo haha
Yawn
she’s over.
The first picture, the one when she is wearing flowers, reminds me this http://www.rockymusic.org/img/priscilla/Priscilla-AliceSpringsShowL.png
Bernadette!! Yaaaay 😀
IMO she just never pulls avant garde fashion off like Bjork, Grace Jones or Roisin Murphy. She just doesn’t have that “f*cking own it” attitude, which is why she looks ridiculous 99% of the time. She never looks effortless. NEXT.
Oh those poor animals. PETA where are you???
Lady Gaga. . . Nicki Minaj. . . it doesn’t matter. Why do female artists have to hide themselves behind all of this buffoonery? Why won’t we support women who just show up.
We support women who “just show up” all the time. We also mock Lady GaGa, Niki Minaj, and other people who show up in outlandish outfits all the time. Come on – you know that.
A 1000 times this!
Behind all the layers of nonsense there MUST be some simple musical talent (she can carry a tune and play piano, doesn’t she). Why doesn’t she highlight that…
And Gaga… the mouse ears have been done before and better. I think Deadmau5 has you beat in that department.
She has highlighted her natural talent before. I believe she sang a little in some interview, although I can’t remember where, with who, or what song it was. She was good.
Google or search Youtube for “Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga – The Lady is a Tramp”, and you’ll see that she does highlight and make very good use of her natural talent.
Really, Google it. You won’t be disappointed.
Madonna did the Mickey Mouse ears. Of course. Copycat Gaga.
You wear fur, you’re a piece of shit in my book. (With the exception of the Hakura lady above). I could even forgive her the stultifying music she produces, but not this.
Thank you for the exclusion =) I wish more people put the effort in to find a source that didn’t rely on trapping. There are all sorts of ways fur can be recycled (again, without contributing to the ‘demand’ & ‘profit’ of the fur industry).
I agree about wearing furs, & Gaga has been doing that a lot lately. I’ve wondered if she’s been trying to piss PETA off to get attention, or something.
All stupid nonsense.
Gaga is hilarious and so are her try-hard detractors. She plays themlike a violin.
Exactly. She’s doing it specifically to prove her point and provoke some sort of response. She knows what she is doing; I have no problem with it.
Thank you. It’s food to know someone else sees it. 🙂 FFS, she’s mocking foxtails and bad taste excess not representing it.
Yup. Whether she said one thing and is going back on it now, which she may have, I don’t think it’s an accident. She got people talking with her clothes before, and now she’s getting people talking with her clothes and what she says. Same stuff, different day. All of these people getting offended by it is just funny.
Gaga is funny but looks aren’t everything.
Ugh. This bitch is exhausting.
I like it. IMO, most stars put a ton of time and energy into what they wear in public situations. If you are going to do that, why not make it fun and outrageous? I think the green outfit is actually really beautiful, and I also like the “casual” t-shirt and skirt together.
(PS, I think her “mint” prediction was for Spring 2012, not Spring 2013 which is what these collections are for).
And to think I once kind of liked her (well, mostly just the music). Now she’s just tiresome and does the most idiotic things for attention.
I blame The Hills for bringing attention to her in the first place!!
She is like a walking parody of herself. I don’t understand why a person would intentionally look like this in public. It’s not art, it’s just stupid.
Ugh, she is trying way too hard to be “different” and “out there.” She would get so much more attention if she walked around once with jeans, t-shirt and a regular ponytail. So insufferable.
Lololololol
Sad sad sad- why would any female hold a purse that says the word cun# on it????? I suppose it says alot about the integrity of this individual
What a sad attention seeking loser. Thumbs down for this outlandish character.
Fourth picture from bottom is gross!
In pretty sure that once you become a parody of yourself, you’ve jumped the shark. She’s so try hard, it’s pathetic. And I wouldn’t consider someone of her caliber to be any kind of superstar until she’s at least made more albums than you can count on one hand.
Ugly, trashy creature
“Burka und Fur” (Gaga loves that German language : )) is very Edward Gorey-Art Deco. And the “Climate” outfit is cute. The Mouse Ears VERY Gala Darling (She’s a New York Style Blogger). Over all I am liking this. : )
The Burka and fur have nothing to do with Gorey, his art or his sense of humor. He’d be bored stiff.
So over this chic. Yawn
Thank you! I really doubt Gorey would appreciate having his name invoked as inspiration for a chintzy-ass robe with fox tails glued onto it.
Ugh.
It’s not the design or Lady Gaga herself that reminds me of Gorey, it is the stripe and how she is posed with ther arm out that made me think of him.
budget.
It’s ok everyone, no animals were hurt, it just hair from her armpits that she collected.
The flower headset made me LMAO!!! 😀
Is that a Michael Jack glitter glove? Ugh!
Oh stop already, I hate these outfits !! they make no since !! why cant they just sing ?? no they have to put this stupid show of outfits !!!!!!
The head dress is by the designer of the show, she was wearing one of his designs on arrival.
My God this woman is exhausting.
totally >_<
oh look. gaga dressed up in crazy clothes. i think i’m shocked and perplexed. i just can’t wrap my mind around the originality that is this free thinking woman. my traditions and foregone conclusions have all been challenged, and i am now more enlightened. thank you, lady gaga.
This woman seriously needs to reinvent herself.
Heeheehee!
Besides being absurd, this is just excessive. In a world where people are suffering from poverty, sickness, and war, this is like a big, giant f*** you. Horribly narcissitic and simply an expression of a desperate desire to be loved. How very, very pathetic she is.
Although probably extremely offensive to the burka, this is the best she’s looked..all covered up! Wish she would keep it that way
To hell with the burka. No woman should be forced to wear that misogynistic monstrosity.
“High fashion” is the biggest waste of art, energy and money I can possibly think of. It’s all junk to me.
Ok this shyt is getting old! Anyone can go into their closet and their craft bin and make up this crap. There is no style here, it is just ridiculous crap thrown together and called an outfit. I suppose that is how she gets people to pay attention to her. She looks like she escaped a mental facility and is masquerading as a pop artist.
in the last pics it looks like she’s losing/missing a lot of hair and her poufe is not covering it like it’s s’posed to… maybe that’s why she’s wearing all these ridiculous head pieces
Scary fingernails! Why hasn’t she broken an ankle with those platforms?
look at me! look at me! look at meeeee!!!
Oh gosh, what horrible taste. She’s ridiculous.
And those hanging fur tails…it really makes me sad..not only it’s totally fug and disrespectful (I guess she just want others to talk about her so she does it) but also very sad..
Offensive woman. At least she lives up to her name.
I hope she wears burqas more often!
It really must be exhausting for her to be constantly coming up with ideas of what her next outfit will be.
