If you were wondering how Gaga’s stained glass window dress she wore in the opening scene looked like before it was packed up in London to post to New York to “meet” Gaga and star in her video, here I come to share some fabulous pictures with you. 

Both the dress and shoulder piece were designed by Petra Storrs. The technical chiffon is from Mugler’s Fall/Winter 2011 menswear collection.

Major points for accessorizing! The two multi-color Swarovski crystal-encrusted 18K gold plate double headbands with ribbon tie-backs were custom-made for the video by Alexis Bittar.

Another piece of jewelry Gaga wears in the opening scene are the triangle earrings from Pamela Love’s Spring/Summer 2011 “Armor vs. Armour“ collection inspired by traditional Indian and African symbols of protection.

Gaga also rocks the gigantic Je T’Aime necklace (what. a. piece!)...

...and five Gold Digger scorpion rings, both created by Erickson Beamon.

The black patent heelless Mary Jane shoes, that were customized for the video, are custom-made by Natacha Marro.

Model Raquel Zimmermann wears a bespoke Atsuko Kudo latex catsuit and Kobi Levi boots (more about those later) with a custom heavy gauge transparent yellow latex tubed collar by The Baroness, New York’s premier designer of elegant and provocative latex fashions.

The black PVC black crystals and spikes-embellished piece, Gaga wore in the machine gun scene, was custom-made for the video by 2010 Central Saint Martins graduate Sorcha O’Raghallaigh.

No photo available to show you the creation with “a skirt/cape piece which fanned from above the hips at the back of the garment” up close but I’ve got another exclusive sketch, Sorcha sent me with love for all of you, to add to our private La Maison Gaga collection!

Gaga’s black leather gloves for this scene were provided by Portolano.

The final part of this look are these dangerously beautiful black leather lattice platform ankle boots with knife heels, custom-made by Mugler.

Rick Genest aka. Zombie Boy (Rest in Paradise) wears a custom harness and spike-embellished leather jockstrap by Void of Course with the aforementioned technical chiffon by Mugler for this beautiful scene.

Void of Course also created the bespoke latex breast suit comprising a double-breasted shawl lapel blazer and matching high-waisted shorts for the alternative video dance scene...

...which she matched with these Agent Provocateur black fishnet stay-up stockings!

In the dancing scene, Gaga wears the Kalina bra with studded leather cups and press stud fastenings from Obey My Demand by Leanne Brooke.

This is how it looks like when 100% silk marries 100% leather. Total seduction and they lived happily ever after.

Her chained underwear is custom-made for her by Stephanie Paterek for NYC Sextrash.

The look was accessorized with custom strap gloves which were deconstructed, ornamented with metals studs and rivets by Wing & Weft Gloves and Berlin-based accessory designer Silke Debler.

Finally, the FootUndeez™ by Capezio “engineered to form and move with the foot. Designed to be “barely there” while providing the most protection and support of any item on the market today”.

FootUndeez™ are available in a variety of skin tones and prints. Gaga wore crystal-embellished ones with rhinestones.

Gaga also quickly flashed her custom Tom Tom Fashions “Born This Way” unicorn studded grey leather jacket while doing a death drop.

Sooo bummed this one didn’t make it into the final cut! In a scene for the alternative video, the Italian-American superstar wears an oversized multi-colored gem body chain styled as a top, just like ont he runway,...

...and metallic saucer headpiece Philip Treacy created for the Armani Privé Spring/Summer 2011 Haute Couture collection.

For the infamous “Evil Lovers” scene, both Gaga and Rick wear suits from Mugler’s Fall/Winter 2011 womens- and menswear collections. 

Gaga’s black cady peau de pêche jacket features a concealed hook closure and shoulder pads. 

Same Mugler knife boots, a crisp white button-up shirt and a black bow tie completed the look.

Remember the nude latex catsuit with black zipper embellishment I’ve mentioned earlier? Gaga wore it too, and it’s by Atsuko Kudo.

The wonder boots, both Gaga’s and Rachel’s giving-birth-looks were completed with, are Double boots designed by Kobi Levi for whom his artistic footwear design the shoe is his canvas.

Most of his inspirations are out of the what you would expect shoe-world, and give the footwear – the wearable sculpture – an extreme transformation.

Each and every pair is hand-made in Kobi’s studio.

In the final scene, Gaga paid tribute to Michael Jackson. Leaving a magical glitter trail as she walks down the empty alley, she’s wearing a stone-washed blue denim shirt and striped denim jeans, both custom-made by Perry Meek for the music video.

The white fringed leather gauntlets are bespoke Wing & Weft Gloves.

Her black calfskin leather mechanics belt is signed by Billykirk.
