The strapless black leather jumpsuit with frontal zipper is by Mugler, which I believe is an extension of the Fall/Winter 2010 collection. It also reads “Thierry Mugler” on the zipper and features a sweetheart neckline. Also loved by Nicole Scherzinger and Tyra Banks!

The fashionista also rocked a pair of vintage Chanel 02464 shades in black. These have the iconic double C logo on each side.

The large pyramid stud and fringe-embellished black leather driving gloves are by Gaspar.

The two finger snake ring in yellow gold with diamonds is from Nicol’s in Madrid, from their most emblematic Safari collection.

A custom 14cm version of Underground’s Barfly leather lace-up creepers were worn during the interview.

When leaving the studio, Gaga was seen protecting herself from the cold with an eye-catching fur vest thrown over her leather jumpsuit. The striking orange beauty is a custom Adrienne Landau by Saulo Villela piece.

She also wore custom metallic blue Armani Privé platform boots.

The dress she’s chosen for this occasion belongs to London-based emerging fashion designer Erevos Aether‘s debut Fall/Winter 2011 “Gaping Void” collection inspired by Charles Baudelaire’s “The Flowers of Evil” poems.

Erevos loves experimenting with both new materials and innovative use of fabrics. For his first unisex collection he used neoprene boning, cashmere and silk georgette to create futuristic structured silhouettes I instantly fell in love with.

Let’s get to the accessories. Her tilted velvet saucer hat is custom-made for her by Perry Meek.

Her black shield sunglasses with gold Greek key detail are vintage Versace T76.

The look was completed with black leather gloves and matching Giuseppe Zanotti Fall/Winter 2011 calf-high platform stiletto boots.

For her performance of “Judas” she wore a custom Perry Meek ensemble comprising of a blue latex hooded draped cape, matching bell-bottom trousers, cropped velvet top...

...another tilted velvet saucer hat to match the look...

...and velvet ankle booties which were custom-made for her by Shoes for the Stars.

For the first look, LG dressed up as a robot-bride-hybrid. "I'm walking with no luggage and no nothing and it's just me and my ankles are bleeding a little bit and there's grass stuck in my shoes and I've got this outfit on and it's real sort of New York clothing and I'm sprinting.” Gaga said about this scene. 

She’s wearing a black one-sleeved Saint Laurent blazer that she matched with Chanel Fall/Winter 2008 black wool high-waisted trousers. 

The black giant insect eye looking honeycomb beauty is a piece from Philip Treacy‘s archive...

...and her vintage France Look Rio 24 sunglasses were provided by Vintage Frames Company.

Marian Newman created all the nails for the video. About the first set: “She walked from NY to Nebraska and got damaged and needed help from robotics. The 2 nails are broken chic, fashion nails that have been repaired”. Nude pink with silver wire. The swivel nails were riveted.

Now about her accessories. The bride’s prosthetics were crafted by Millennium FX.  Brian Coldrick worked on the sketches with the team at Millennium FX while Richard Martin painted them.

Gaga added a vintage crystal Chanel brooch on top of her arm proshetic.

Her shoes are the Pleaser Adore-1018 black leather platform ankle boots with peep-toe and lace-up back.

The second scene took place in the middle of a cornfield. Gaga and her fairies are all wearing custom ivory Chalayan silk slip dresses with lace frill, spaghetti straps and chiffon trains. 

Marian Newman used yellow Minx nail lacquer on Gaga.

She also wears a pair of leather ballet shoes from the “Spotlights” collection of American Ballet Theatre.

Gaga’s male alter ego Jo Calderone wears a white distressed Uniqlo T-shirt, a pair of Dior Fall/Winter 2011 menswear trousers with buckle satin belt and underneath, a pair of (stuffed) Hanes white cotton briefs.

The look was finished with pair of Chanel Fall/Winter 2011 calfskin leather combat boots with cap toe and attached slouchy tweed socks.

The further we go into the video, the crazier it gets. And this is definitely my absolute favourite look of ‘em all. 

Our girl wore a custom cork mini dress feauturing frilled shoulders...

...and rose-embellished heel-less ankle boots from Jan Taminiau’s otherworldy Fall/Winter 2011 Haute Couture “Nature Extends” collection. Working on verticality, Jan emphasizes vulnerability, by an extension of nature, with a different vision of the real world.

Her gold hair pin frames and matching skull cap are custom Haus of Gaga.

If you look closer, you’ll be able to spot a pair of beautiful intricate tan leather cuffs around her wrists. Those were made by a label called Damonic.

“With her timber legs, she moves slowly through the wood. She is innerly strong, walking with her head up, proud of herself. Her skin is peeled, ruptured, scrubbed and full with scratches. Her gown is torn apart by the bushes of the wood. But every nail on her skin is set one by one. She survives and shows her inner self with grace.” Those were Jan Taminiau‘s words. And I can’t imagine another collection that would suit, both conceptually and visually, Gaga’s brand new video storyline better. 

“These were wooden Minx’s I had made for me and I pinned them to go with the dress that was covered in gold pins“. Marian Newman said about the above pictured custom nails.

Just like his previous outfit, Taminiau created both Gaga’s dress, jacket and heelless thigh-high boots exclusively.

Next, our girl wears nothing but a pair of custom beige suede platform pumps with ankle straps from Mugler’s Fall/Winter 2011 ″Anatomy of Change” collection.

The Millennium FX team created the tail along with the gills for Yüyi, Gaga’s mermaid alter ego. The tail body was sculpted by Richard Martin and Sharna Rothwell and made with silicone. Richard also did the tail spines and un unseen dorsal fin, gill and blender prosthetics. The team had 8 days to create and paint the props. 

The tail fin was created by Charlie Bluett, an independant FX artist.

Yüyi’s nails are an alternative “breathing apparatus”. Above you can see them in acrylic in a pink opaque, but for the video Marian Newman made them of latex.

For the photoshoot, she also wore vintage Chanel 01455 oversized shield sunglasses with chain embellishment.

During the dancing scene both Gaga and the rest of her dancers wore custom full body harnesses hand-made by Zana Bayne. 

Love the miracle of creation. In general. And what fascinates me is fashion creation in particular. Creation of garments, jewellery, shoes, accessories…the process of bringing the pieces that once were in someone’s head (and a posteriori, like in this case, probably on paper) to life...

The last Marian Newman nails are from the dancing scene: “These were “Inkwell” by CND with silver studs to go with the bondage suits“.

Gaga teamed it with black underwear, fishnet stockings and Ellie Savannah corset boots.

For the wedding scene Gaga’s borrowed her mum’s dress. A vintage draped jewel by Norma Kamali. And completed the look with the veil headpiece by Perry Meek. 

I’ve been trying to get more information about this stunning hundreds of tiny pearls embellished beauty Norma’s created almost 40 years ago. Haven’t found a picture yet but I can tell you the dress belongs to Norma Kamali “White Pearl” collection from 1983!
