<span><a href="https://www.thenational.ae/lifestyle/lady-gaga-s-beauty-brand-haus-laboratories-to-launch-on-amazon-and-fans-are-already-praising-it-1.884530">Lady Gaga</a> ma</span><span>de history recently when she </span><span>become</span><span> the first person to win an Oscar, Grammy, Bafta and Golden Globe in a single year. And it's clear that the singer-songwriter-actress is in no mood to lay low and bask in her success, as she's already booked her next </span><span>role – a part in a movie retelling </span><span>the </span><span>assassination of Maurizio Gucci, grandson of Gucci founder Guccio Gucci. In the new film, </span><span>directed by Ridley Scott</span><span> (</span><span><em>Alien</em></span><span>, </span><span><em>Thelma & Louise</em></span><span>) and </span><span>based on Sara Gay Forden's book </span><span><em>The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed</em></span><span>, Gaga will </span><span>play Patrizia Reggiano, who was </span><span>convicted of </span><span>killing Maurizio, her ex-husband, after he left her for a younger woman</span><span>.</span><span> </span> <span>Gaga </span><span>is no stranger to blending style with a touch of madness. Born Stefani Germanotta, </span><span>she is as famous for her unconventional public image and bold fashion choices as she is for her singing and acting chops. Gaga started cultivating her bold </span><span>persona even before the release of her 2008 debut album, </span><span><em>The Fame</em></span><span>. The year before</span><span>, she performed at Lollapalooza wearing a skimpy disco-themed outfit. The look made a reappearance in the </span><span>video </span><span>to her smash hit single </span><span><em>Just Dance</em></span><span>. </span><span> </span> <span>In the years that followed, Gaga donned a number of outfits, some praised, some shunned, but all talked about. In 2009, she made a statement against wearing fur on a German television show, with a bizarre jacket referencing the </span><span>Muppet character Kermit the Frog. The next year </span><span>she made headlines worldwide when she donned a dress made from cuts of beef at the MTV Video Music Awards. The famed meat dress, which came with a matching purse, hat and boots, polari</span><span>sed opinions. </span><span><em>Time</em></span><span> </span><span>called it the top fashion statement of the year; animal rights group Peta was far less impressed.</span> <span>Gaga's style </span><span>took a turn in 2016, as she began to opt for </span><span>old-school Hollywood glamour at awards shows. At that year's Academy Awards, she </span><span>stunned fans in two elegant Alaia gowns (wardrobe changes at award shows are a Gaga staple). At the 2016 Golden Globe Awards, </span><span>she proved yet again that she could grab attention without props when she hit the red carpet in a stunning black Versace gown and platinum hairdo that channelled Marilyn Monroe. At this year's <a href="https://www.thenational.ae/arts-culture/film/oscars-2019-the-full-list-of-academy-awards-highlights-and-winners-1.829599">Oscars</a>, where she took home the award for Best Original Song – for </span><span><em>Shallow</em></span><span>, in </span><span><em>A Star Is Born</em></span><span> – she paid homage to Audrey Hepburn's classic</span><span> </span><span><em>Breakfast at Tiffany</em></span><span>'s look by combining a strapless black gown with an updo, long black gloves and a Tiffany & Co necklace previously worn by Hepburn</span><span>. </span> <span>W</span><span>ith these looks</span><span>, Gaga has proved she's not afraid to reinvent herself</span><span>. At the <a href="https://www.thenational.ae/lifestyle/fashion/met-gala-2019-see-who-wore-what-on-the-red-carpet-1.858215">2019 Met Gala</a> (where Camp: Notes on Fashion was the theme), she took her </span><span>makeover to a whole new level by stripping her conservative fuchsia number and revealing three different looks underneath. </span> <span>It's almost fitting that her fashion sense translated to a mini-museum experience in Park MGM in Las Vegas earlier this</span><span> month. Called Haus of Gaga: Las Vegas, the exhibition featured 40 pieces of clothing and accessories from Gaga's personal archive including, of course, the meat dress.</span>
