Lady Gaga's new video Judas requires mentioning because the costumes she wears in it are many, amazing, and come from various sources of inspiration. Here are my Top 5 favourites.
Number 5: The Wave Dress
Lady Gaga, "Judas" music video, 2011In this case, it is hard to see the details, but I liked that it was long and metallic. I also always love water scenes. Hopefully one day, I will know more about it.
Number 4: The Killer Nails
Lady Gaga, "Judas" music video, 2011I simply love burgundy and deep green together. I used to paint my nails in this fashion as a teen; maybe the fashion will finally kick in now! Plus I love all the bling on those claws (except maybe for the moss).
The shirt has a somewhat Victorian and romantic feel to it, from what we can see of it, i.e. the cuffs. And is it just me, or is that eye make up inspired by an Oudjat (slightly inverted)?
Number 3: The Doublet
Lady Gaga, "Judas" music video, 2011Here we have a lovely embroidered doublet, straight out of The Tudors. I have a velvet doublet that I wear as a jacket; perhaps I will no longer be alone after this.
As for the hairstyle, I have read some comments comparing it to Snookie's , but my first thought was in fact Centauri males (in Babylon 5).
Number 2: Riding Look
Lady Gaga, "Judas" music video, 2011Not only do i like red and purple together, but lets be honest: what girl does not love a Tiara? That bejeweled cold crown is gorgeous.
Really, I just thought Miss Gaga looked stunningly beautiful in this scene.
Number 1: The Egyptian Bride
Lady GaGa, "Judas" music video, 2011This is my favourite look of all, and we only see it for a few seconds at the end of the video. The wig looks like something Egyptian, the dress is a mixture of Lolita and 80's wedding dress and the shoes seem to be 50's saddle oxford. It almost feels like I have seen this look before in a manga, but can't exactly put my finger on which one. In any case, someone had better market that wig because I want it. In fact, I think I may have found my Halloween costume.
If you haven't seen the video yet, here is you chance:
I love your blog, I also have a little bit of an obsession myself with dressing up and fancy dresses. I am gaga for Gafa & I made a site about lady gaga's costumes, lady gaga wigs, and stuff.
