Lady Gaga's Looks From Her Latest Video APPLAUSE!!

I Live For The Applause Applause Applause; I can't stop singing this song! Being a huge Lady Gaga fan, I was just dying for her new video for her single Applause to release. And when it was finally released I sure as hell wasn't disappointed. In fact, I think it's one of the best videos I've seen (Bad Romance now is second best!). Lady Gaga is such an enfant terrible and can pull that attitude off in a way very few can. Even with regards to her crazy dress sense, GAGA can look fabulous wearing anything, that includes the meat dress. Her videos are so theatrical and ALWAYS include avant-garde clothing which is a treat for anyone who LOVES fashion. I almost always go online and check out fashion credits to find out who she wore! Lets face it guys, no one can wear those Lee McQueen armadillo heels or a crazy Garteh Pugh outfit better than her.

Anyways back to her latest video for her single Applause, well it’s no surprises that it included OTT make up, couture clothes, an element of DIY in some of the outfits and a crazy GAGA writhing away on the floor! You can watch the video below and then scroll down to see each look deconstructed.


Here are some the looks and the designers behind these creations in no particular order.

Here she's seen wearing a Mila Schon Fall 2013 Catsuit with bell sleeves paired with wings made out of broken umbrella spokes by Junker Designs.

This mad hatter look is my absolute favorite with her in a Maison Martin Margiela Fall 2013 couture jacket. This particular jacket was an abstract reinterpretation of The Bust Of Frederick Chopin by the couture house and was embellished with marble cabochons in black, white and green and took 93 hours to create.  The look was complete with a mirror and safety-pin bodysuit; a creation by her sister Natali Germanotta.

No one can pull off surrealist and avantgarde clothing better than Lady Gaga. The following image consists of Lady Gaga in a bra, undies and a choker in the shape of a glove by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac.

This custom made skeleton like Olivier Theyskens corset and skirt is just so cool! (Boots are by Pleaser)

For the DIY element, Perry Meek from Haus of Gaga creates a clam-shell bikini and uses glue and fresh flowers as embellishments. This look was inspired by Botticelli's painting, The Birth of Venus.

The final dress included digging into the archives of John Galliano. This gorgeous gown was was from his Fall 2009 collection inspired by Russian-Balkan folklore. Of course they didn't just use the dress alone, designer Mathieu Mirano created a harness made out of burnt duct tape, safety-pins and crystals. This extremely unique piece was inspired by World War I courtesan Mata Hari. P.S he's the genius behind the paper dress Lady Gaga wore at Good Morning America to promote the video. Also seen in this look is the Damien necklace by Halaby worn as a headpiece from the brand's FW 13 collection.
