The Gаgа Effeсt: 8 of Lаdy Gаgа’ѕ Moѕt Iсonіс Stuntѕ

Lady Gaga always delivers on the drama. Whether she’s walking down the red carpet in a way only she can, or putting on a performance that’s out of this world, you know you’ll be talking about it for years to come. There’s a reason she’s not just considered one of today’s best singers, but one of the greatest artists of her generation.

One of Lady Gaga’s earlier stunts was wearing a dress made of raw beef designed by Franc Fernandez and styled by Nicola Formichetti to the 2010 MTV VMAs. The dress had PETA up in arms, and had fans gagging, in more than one way. No matter whether you liked it or not, the meat dress gave us all very visceral reactions. She wore the famous dress, as well as a hat, boots, and purse made of raw meat, while accepting the VMA for Video of the Year for “Bad Romance.”

Performance art!!! Gaga put on a whole new persona at the 2011 VMAs when she introduced Jo Calderone, her chain smoking drag persona. He was brash, unapologetically sexual, and kind of a scumbag, and we loved him for it. From smoking a cigarette on stage, to talking about Lady Gaga c*mming, to almost kissing Britney Spears when he gave her the Vanguard Award, to slipping off a piano during a performance of “You and I,” Calderone was truly an unforgettable figure.

Gaga arrived at the 2013 AMAs in another stunning way, riding in on a full-size white horse puppet, operated by two people. She said she was inspired to do the stunt by a famous story of Bianca Jagger arriving at the legendary Studio 54 nightclub riding a real white horse.

When the 2019 Met Gala theme was Camp, we knew that Gaga would absolutely slay, and she did not disappoint. She started the night in a giant, bright pink cape dress with a 25-foot train carried by a team of dancers. Then, her friend (designer Brandon Maxwell) revealed that this was only her first look of the night, as he helped her unzip the first dress to reveal a corseted black dress underneath. Iconic! But of course, Gaga wasn’t done there, stripping off that black dress to reveal a form-fitting pink one underneath. Finally, she took off that dress, revealing her final look: a crystal bra and panties with tights. Gaga truly knows how to make a statement.
