Lady Gaga... A trendsetter!

 

Love her, hate her, or think she's positively lost her mind, there's little denying that Lady Gaga is a fashion force to be reckoned with these days (even Mr. Dapper himself, Kanye West, admitted he couldn't compete with her wild style). But would you believe she had a major influence on the clothes that came down the runway at haute couture?

 

Style.com says yes.  According to the site, "allusions to this pop culture omnivore (who is attired by a Warholian gaggle of twentysomethings working under the moniker Haus of Gaga) [were found] at the haute couture in Paris. And yet it was hard not to detect a hint of the Gaga effect in Gaultier Paris‘ leg-bearing bodysuits, Christian Lacroix’s sculptural skirts, Givenchy’s dangling chains, and even the pouf-skirted finale dress at Chanel."

While we regular gals may find some of her looks a little less than wearable for everyday life, you must admit, she's doing a bang-up job of getting us to notice her. Remember a few years ago, when Mary-Kate Olsen wandered around the NYU campus looking kinda homeless and nobody understood her look? The layers upon layers of knits, the oversize handbags, the grungy-looking boots? And lo and behold, a few months later, we were all wearing watered-down versions of that very same aesthetic. Sometimes, it takes a true fashion visionary to readjust our eye, to introduce us to a brand new silhouette, and make us scratch our heads while simultaneously admiring the view. And it seems like Lady Gaga is definitely one of those visionaries. Maybe a few months from now, we'll all be wearing more futuristic shapes and severe silhouettes...though I'm just gonna say now, I'm opting out of the zipper eye patch.

Head over to style.com now and check out the slideshow of comparisons, then let us know if you think the disco diva did, in fact, have an influence on the clothes at haute couture. Are you willing to take fashion cues from this woman? Discuss!

Love her. No Joke but the Kermit suit needs to go, no?

Madonna Gets Some Jutney In Los Angeles

Rumors abound around Madonna's Hard Candy show in Los Angeles tonight. If you believe the hype or Mr. Ryan Seacrest, Madonna will be accessorizing herself with Justin Timberlake and doing it one more time with Britney Spears. Yes, BOTH OF THEM. According to the LA Times, "Multiple press outlets have picked up on comments made by Ryan Seacrest on KIIS-FM host DJ BoyToy Jesse's Wednesday afternoon show. Searcrest is quoted as saying, 'They are going to be onstage performing with Madonna. ... If Justin and Britney end up on that stage with her ... I don't know if I've ever seen anything quite like that before.'" I don't really care if this sudden addition to her royal stage is an effort for extra ticket sales or if Madonna is feeling a bit insecure, all I know is I be JEALOUS.
