Lady Gaga-Style Icon of 2009

Being named a ‘Style Icon’ of 2009, and getting wild reviews from all that features her, Lady GaGa is surely one lucky star. Nothing Lady GaGa does is petite –with exceptions to her figure of course. Everything in her world is a huge production. She’s never caught without the perfect pair of humongous sunglasses, not even one strand of her platinum blonde hair is ever out of place, and her striking stage costumes are always so crisp. So much attention is paid to her image that it’s not hard to overlook her music. Lucky for GaGa, her music makes just as big a statement as her feral image. Not one to back down from taking chances, Lady GaGa’s clothing choice ranges from the most bizarre outfits to the casual ones like a pair of flashing leotard shorts in her music video “Just Dance”.

Lady Gaga's style is heavily influenced by the 80's era. But do not doubt her originality, for this is one chick that can play around with a variety of style genre –imagine ancient style clashing with futuristic wardrobe. Plus this songstress not only writes her most of her songs, but also designs most of her performance attire. With her single “Just Dance!” hitting the Number 1 spot on the Official Charts this week, Lady GaGa proves that nothing is out of reach. During the recent Puma's 60th birthday celebration at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, the fashion Lady rocked her performance in a daring outfit. Gaga keeps true to her space-age chic artistic with a prismatic prom gown. Only she can show off in something as absurd as this. It's very Gareth Pugh in Toyland. Then she gets comfortable in what appears to be sporadic bathing suit-inspired outfit for her performance with her bandit-eyed army of dancers.

And speaking of proms? In Gaga's recent video, she showcases her wild, ultramodern style in "Poker Face" with an acrylic shoulder piece bought from Academy of Art University student, Mike Feeney. Mike Feeney created this piece of attire for Academy of Art University's April 2008 Spring Show and the diva works it really well. Really, really well because it isn’t easy to walk around let alone perform in something that people only can appreciate but never wear. That’s definitely not GaGa. Not only is she unafraid to experiment, Lady GaGA shows that she is a true supporter of young budding designers waiting to embrace the fashion industry when they step out of school.

“Just dance” made top ten where ever it’s touched; number 1 in Canada and Australia. “Poker face” got number 1 in Australia, Canada and New Zealand. That's some hot stuff. Soon, everyone is going to be wearing like her, since people are already bobbing their heads to her infectious songs. And some celebrities seem to be already following the path parallel as GaGa –or rather, on her path itself! Just take a look at Christina Aguilera’s recent fashion choice and Britney Spears latest video “Womenizer” and you’ll get the picture. It's all success for her and she’s probably the best thing to come out all year and for a long time!
