Hasta La Ideas

Whether or not you’re a fan of her futuristic, robot-like, pantsless persona, you can’t deny that Lady GaGa is an interesting character (after all, anyone who can make Perez stop talking about the Octo-Mom for a few posts has to be at least somewhat intriguing). With electro-pop hits like “Just Dance,” “Poker Face,” and any of the other sound-alike tracks off her debut album The Fame, GaGa has gained a rapidly-growing following. While I certainly don’t question the appeal of her catchy beats (although I’m still trying to figure out what on Earth a “disco stick” is), I’m thoroughly convinced that her talked-all-over-town popularity is due largely in part to her bizarre outfit choices and overall “Donatella Versace in outer space” gimmick. And while we at Stylehive would never promote public indecency by encouraging you to go without pants in public, you may be surprised to see just how inspirational some of Lady GaGa’s futuristic fashion choices really are, as long as you don’t attempt a literal translation of her shiny black catsuits and hooded capes. From practical patent leather booties to a chunky cocktail ring and a simple pair of liquid leggings, you can channel the artist’s funky style (one bold piece at a time!) and still stop traffic without looking like a spaceship!
