After watching Lady Gaga on Ellen today, I started searching the internet for some of her most fantastic ensembles. Here’s just a sampling of why I love Lady Gaga:

There’s no question Lady Gaga is a bit on the wacky side, but I’ve got to give it to the girl: Anyone who is brave enough to not only wear these crazy outfits—but pull them off for the most part—gets respect from me. I find many of her outfits artistic in a way. And fortunately the girl has actual musical talent!

Otherwise there’s a good chance she’d be filed with the likes of Bjork in her swan dress orBai Ling in, well, anything.
