Gaga's great Grammy garments

Ok, I admit that the title of this blog is stupid but that's okay.

Last night was the 2010 Grammy Awards and the first performance of the evening was Lady Gaga. In a previous blog entitled Warming Up To Lady Gaga I mentioned how initially I was not a fan of the Gaga. I pegged her as a generic pop singer. Although, there are still some of her songs I find too generic and manufactured I do enjoy her avant garde and performance art style of dress and dance.

The contrast of pop and performance art is one that is at times difficult for me to grasp. I suppose that's the challenge and part of the frustration and dare I say fun.


Elton John and Lady Gaga

Here Lady Gaga sung a medley with Elton John. On top of the pianos were sculptures of outstretched arms with claw formed hands. I assume that they were meant to represent the clawing movement that Lady Gaga often makes in her performances.



In the performance Lady Gaga falls through a stage piece resembling a factory pipe. Lady Gaga is then revealed playing the piano covered in soot. Elton John is also covered in soot as he plays with her.

The duo performed swimmingly and it was also a very endearing atmosphere as the two collaborated.



On the red carpet Lady Gaga wears what I call "The Orbit Dress." I'm curious as to how comfortable she was in this dress. I loved the yellow hair which I think was actually attached to a flesh toned hood.



The shoes did not have heels so I'm not sure if Gaga had enough support as she walked. She also carried a bright star along with her as a prop.



At a certain point, Lady Gaga changed clothes again and this time into a glittery silver iceberg type dress, jacket and headdress.



I imagine it must have been difficult to get a good view of the stage when sitting behind this amazing headdress.

Here Gaga is carrying a vintage tea cup. I've heard her say that she is finding the tea cup to be nice piece of imagery. I agree however it feels a bit forced. Being that I love tea and am beginning to collect vintage tea cups myself, I won't complain too much. I too find it to be a nice image.



I've said it before and I maintain that I am oh so jealous that one miss Lady Gaga gets to experiment with movement in such interesting fabrics and interestingly shaped garments.
