Is it surprising to anyone that the man sitting next to Lady Gaga is exasperatedly starring at the large ornament on her head as if all hope in humanity is gone? For God’s sake Lady Gaga, you’re at an award show, not a carnival. Yet again, Lady Gaga has always been known for wearing crazy elaborate outfits and costumes that go beyond any modern-day societal norms, so the man sitting next to her should have seen it coming. Through costumes and masks, Lady Gaga takes on new identities[1] such as this oh-so distracting outfit which in fact is a great example of the modern “carnival theory”. With this “flashy costume”, Lady Gaga creates a “sexy, independent [and] shocking carnival persona”[2]. And of course the tea cup she is holding was obviously a needed accessory….right?
It’s also interesting to note how she chose to express her identity ambivalence through wearing androgynous clothing. She does this by wearing a man’s vest with a translucent body suit underneath, as if nothing else was needed. Except the large what looks to be crystal hat, paired with the largest most uncomfortable looking heels ever. Why do women go through the pain of wearing large heels that make it difficult to walk just to be in fashion? Well duh…because their sparkly and they shine! We know you want to blend masculine and feminine symbols together to create a sexy cross gender look, kind of like Rihanna , but were all the feasibly dangerous spikes on your costume necessary? Also notice the packed on the black raccoon-eye makeup used to portray her own grooming code and femininity, since makeup is more attractive to the opposite sex. Overall Lady Gaga, you look like a large crystal…but a fashionable one at that.
