effFriday: Lady Gaga's effFashion Sense

23-year-old, Yonkers, NY native (Aaooowwww!), Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, better known by her stage name Lady Gaga has everyone talking! Not only about her music, but about her style as well. Gaga has been influenced by fashion and has been appreciated for her provocative sense of style and her influence on other celebrities. Gaga has stated that she is "very into fashion" and that it is "everything" to her. Her love of fashion came from her mother, who was "always very well kept and beautiful." Gaga stated:

"When I'm writing music, I'm thinking about the clothes I want to wear on stage.
It's all about everything altogether — performance art, pop performance art,
fashion. For me, it's everything coming together and being a real story that
will bring back the super-fan. I want to bring that back. I want the imagery to
be so strong that fans will want to eat and taste and lick every part of
us."

Gaga says that she channels Versace in everything she does, and considers Donatella Versace as her muse in many ways. Melissa Magsaysay of Los Angelas Times commented, "[Gaga's] aversion to wearing a top and bottom at the same time [...] swigging champagne and being fanned by oily men in Speedos [is] very Donatella-esque." Gaga has her own creative production team called the Haus of Gaga, which she handles personally. The team creates many of her clothes, stage props, and hairdos.

Towards the end of 2008, comparisons were made between the fashion sense of Gaga and American recording artist Christina Aguilera, noting similarities in their styling, hair, and make-up. Aguilera later claimed she was "completely unaware of [Gaga]" and "didn't know if it [was] a man or a woman." Afterward, Gaga released a statement in which she welcomed the comparisons due to the attention providing useful publicity. Gaga said, "She's such a huge star and if anything I should send her flowers, because a lot of people in America didn't know who I was until that whole thing happened. It really put me on the map in a way."

How do you feel about Gaga's fashion sense? Does she look like a effF O O L or is she effFASHIONeffFORWARD ?
