So, some of her music is catchy, I would love a disco ball bra and everyone secretly wishes they could walk around in cute knickers and heels everyday but is Lady Gaga taking her costume aesthetic too far?
She is starting to freak me out. I probably wouldn't even comment if she wasn't starting to make ripples in the fashion world. I am not a pop star bashing blogger this honestly does come from a fashion faux pas stand point. So, on that note I will say how great she looks in the two shots below. They are dramtaic, sexy and beautiful all in one.
I really really hate wigs for a start but the oversized bow made from hair she ALWAYS wears was going too far. Now we have pink, blue and purple plastic looking hair on her every second day. She recently stated in V mMagazine (which is where I got all of these pics) that she doesn't want to do what is safe but what she thinks is beautiful. I think thats fair enough but most of it has gone beyond the dramatic and into the drag. On that note do her costumes not seem far too impractical for the intensive dance routines in her videos?
As I said I found all of these pics in V Magazine which as a mag I simply adore. The photos above I think are quite beautiful and were shot by Sebastian Faena. The ones below further my point about the OTT syndrome and were shot by Mario Testino. All amazing photos by amazing photographers and I know that she obviously hadn't styled herself here but they are prime examples of her aesthetic and hence inspired this post.
I'm sure she is an art director's wet dream but for me i think its gone far enough. Please tone it down lady legs.

So true...she's gone from fashion statement to fashion spectacle. Too much!
