• Lady Gaga Rocks Alexander McQueenPosted November 17th, 2009 At 11:29 pm By MTV ASIA

    Compared to most other things Lady Gaga’s been wearing, those Alexander McQueen shoes actually look normal on her in her Bad Romance video. In fact, it’s almost as though they were made with the Gaga in mind. Behold:

    The video is all kinds of wacky. I was freaked out when I first saw it – more because of her freakishly protruding spine than anything else, even more so than a whole list of other freaky things in the video, for example: the hot Russian mafia, her exploding flaming nipple gun, spasming fingers and Silent-Hill-like dancers.

    And naturally, because of the whole freakishness of it, I am totally addicted to it. Haven’t seen it? Oh but you must:

    “Walk, walk, fashion baby, work it – move that bitch crazy”

    P.S. She’ll be re-releasing her Fame album, under Fame Monster, with 8 new tracks on it, including this one.

    So which other celebrities have braved McQueen lately?

    Honestly, if I saw Daphne Guinness here at this NARS event, I’d probably have the same stunned/petrified expression Mr. Founder and Creative Director Francois Nars has on his face. It’s not just the cocoony 12-inch heels. It’s the neckpiece, the EYES, the powdery pale complexion. She’d make for an exquisitely fashionable female phantom with man-eating shoes.

    According to Wiki, Daphne is

    prominent in the fashion world as a style icon, journalist and noted collector of Haute couture. She has an interest in the use of armour in fashion.

    Ah, now that explains it. The shoes will be a great armour against, um, short people. It ensures you are a good 12 inches taller than they are. You learn something new every day.

    But no doubt about it, Lady Gaga still wins hands-down when it comes to The Crazy. She owns the crazy. Remember the MTV VMAs this year? Who could forget the VMAs this year?

    Just in case you have, here’s something she’s worn recently to refresh your memory:

    There. Memory: refreshed.

    Ok now for all you normal-loving folks out there, here is something much more pleasing to the eye – Drew Barrymore in Alexander McQueen, and looking lovely:

    I love the black detailing – crazy intricate; I’d wear this dress in a heartbeat:

    Last I read, Alexander McQueen is considering auctioning off the alien shoes in his runway show, or giving them away to socialites, I guess. So – not for the masses. And seriously, how do you even walk in them? You’d become an objet d’art just like the shoes, rooted to the ground.

    But, still endlessly fascinating to look at – almost as fascinating as Drew’s two-tone hair:

    I was so distracted by the dress that I didn’t even notice her hair. See? The power of McQueen.

      Bad romance is my favourite video to date! Love love love the part when she had huge anime eyes,whilst sitting in the bathtub.And the crazy McQueen heels she was wearing,during the bridge! Love love love those!! The last scene with the skeleton was hilarious! It somehow reminds me of Amy Winehouse. Weird,I know..

      The video seems so perfect, and honestly I have no idea how more creative you can get after that. But hey,if she is able to create a cooler video than ‘Paparazzi’, we better brace ourselves for the vid of her 2nd single.

      Speaking of the bathtub scene…i HEART the headphones she was wearing!!! I know its out in Singapore,but a tad too expensive for headphones.=( doesnt mean I wont buy it,just don`t let my mum know about it..shhh… ;) That is unless MTV is GIVING it away,which I think they SHOULD! *wink wink*

      cheerios!

        yay fellow gaga fan! despite me calling her crazy all the time, she still has some kinda genius in her craziness so i think she’s all the more lovable for that. she recently met the queen, and barbara walters, and dressed down for both. although her idea of dressing down was still a blood-red pvc dress, but still…gotta give her credit for leaving the face-eating lace netting at home. (:

        haha. i think her concert was only so-so here…prolly ‘cos I was way back so she looked really really tiny. looking forward to her next mv too!

        xx
        thanks for visiting!
