BACK IN TIME: LADY GAGA APPEARS ON THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW IN SORCHA O’RAGHALLAIGH
When Lady Gaga visited Graham Norton in 2013, she opted for designs by Louis Vuitton and Gareth Pugh. So let’s find out what she wore during her first visit back in 2011! If you haven’t seen her chat with Gordon, watch here. Absolutely hilarious!
I’ve got some fiery info of Gaga’s Graham Norton Show wedding dress young Irish designer Sorcha O’Raghallaigh crafted for her. I love, love, looove.
Her headpiece is “a crown made of gold spikes with flower and shredded fabric details, and crystal crucifix with veil draping from the top of the cross”. The second part of the outfit is “medieval style dress, made of gold chiffon and a mixture of gold lace. With flower and shredded chiffon details on the sleeve”.The look was completed with “studded choker with gems, crystals and beads encrusted heart and cross pendants. With gold metal spike rays around the circumference of the heart and multicoloured rectangular crystals from the choker studded neck to the heart and crucifix pieces”.
She wore it with the Jean Paul Gaultier Spring/Summer 2010 Surpiqué wired bra with detachable shoulder pads. Her fishnet tights are by Jonathan Aston.
The black suede alien platform pumps with curved heel and ankle lacing are from Mugler’s Fall/Winter 2011 “Anatomy of Change” collection.
For her epic “Judas” performance, Gaga changed to another one-of-a-kind costume. Red semi-sheer velvet animal appliqué catsuit and matching veil both by her personal costume designer Perry Meek layered with black Leather Love Lock body featuring crosses and golden heart-shaped padlocks Alex Noble custom-made for her.
Her heart sunglasses were hand made in solid 14K gold by Jack’s Eyewear.
The black leather military inspired arm cuffs with brass gold button studs and gold cord belong to one of the five Corlette Fall/Winter 2011 capsule collections – the block color black “Garde à Toi”.
Each of the five capsule collections showcases different design aspects and techniques, whilst all blending luxurious leather with interesting and distinctive detailing and finishes. “Garde à Toi” range reveals military-inspired designs.
Her black leather belt with golden Medusa sunray buckle and smaller Medusa heads all around is a vintage Versace gem.
She completed her look with a customized version of the black vinyl lace-up ankle pointed toes Pleaser Seduce-1020 boots.
For ‘Born This Way’, both Gaga and all her dancers wore custom Perry Meek latex costumes.
Her outfit comprised a crop top with studs-trimmed triangle cut-out detail and thigh-high slit skirt.
All of the harnesses for the dancers were custom-made by Assaad Awad and the distressed costumes by Ayumi Shibata for SLOW.
The crystal-embellished sculpted python skin shoulder harness with Swarovski crystals was handcrafted by Fyodor Golan.
For those who don’t know the label, Fyodor Podgorny is half Latvian, half Russian and Golan Frydman is Israeli with Moroccan and German roots. They studied at the prestigious Istituto Marangoni and the distingueshed Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp respectively. The label was launched with the LFW debut catwalk show for their Fall/Winter 2011 “Pagan Poetry” collection.
Fyodor Golan are very excited to work with Gaga: “She is an inspirational artist and from the beginning it was very easy to understand each other. We design for a strong, individual woman and Gaga embodies this. Religious iconography provided the inspiration for the collaboration, designing for a woman that was chosen in her glory to lead and be admired. We wanted to portray a medieval queen: dark, beautiful and mysterious, a seductress rich in details and symbolism. The shoulder harness, produced in python skin and embellished with over a thousand black Swarovski crystals, evokes the appearance of a shimmering armour or second skin.”
