Lady GaGa Red Lace Costume

Lady Gaga rocked an awesome red lace dress at the VMAs.  Whether you loved it or were completely baffled by it, it was definitely an awe-inspiring outfit.  I knew when we decided to make our own Lady Gaga costumes at Instructables, the red lace one would be at the top of my list.  After all is said and done, it's actually a flattering cut, and the face mask is just an extended collar and can be pulled down into a sweet little cowl!

Additionally, this is perhaps the only Gaga-inspired costume that I wouldn't feel too shy to wear in public.  Paired with a nude slip and the anonymity of the face mask, I feel pretty comfortable strutting around in public.


another special thanks to culturespy, carleyy and frenzy for photography, modeling and assistance.

Step 1: Inspiration

Here is the red lace outfit that Lady Gaga wore to the VMA awards.  For some reason, I just love that her face is obscured, and the off-kilter crown reminds me of Max's crown in Where the Wild Things Are. 

One thing I did change was to wear a flesh-colored slip underneath. Much more modest and less revealing than the original!
