Yea, Nay, Or Eh: Lady Gaga At The ACE Awards
partner
Lady Gaga accepted the
Stylemaker Award from
Marc Jacobs at last night’s
Accessories Council ACE Awards, and her speech won’t soon be
forgotten. She called Hedi Slimane “a palm tree” and David
LaChapelle “a creature, a liberation, a half lie, a half truth.”
Revealing the until-now unknown name of her Haus of Gaga designer,
Matthew Williams, she said, “I call him Dada. He is my Jean-Paul
Goode, my everything.”
Alexander McQueen, the photographer Araki, and designer Nasir
Mazhar also got shout-outs. But she saved the best for last:
“Remember, the most important fashion accessory is a condom.” All
of this came after she glided onto the stage and—poof—spilled white
powder from her hands. “I felt like the outfit needed gloves, so
Nicola [Formichetti, her stylist and “fuse”] painted me white. I
guess that’s what happens when you don’t have the right
accessories.” The real spectacle, though, was her getup. She was
pants-less, as usual, and wore a satin bra and briefs (
MJ
Spring 2010?) over her button-down top. A swath of black lace
covered her entire face and part of her huge platinum blond Afro.
What do you think of her latest look? Too far-out? Not far
enough?
