It’s no small feat to stand out on the Grammys red carpet—or at any music awards show, for that matter—as it tends to be fashion’s most devil-may-care night.
Enter Lady Gaga in an egg.
The “Abracadabra” singer showed up to the 2011 show in an ovoid carriage, barely visible through the cloudy, Alien-reminiscent exterior.
“We would call this an outfit,” Gaga mused to British Vogue about the all-encompassing ensemble. “Everyone calls this the egg but it’s actually a vessel that was designed by Hussein Chalayan.”
She was held aloft by several handlers clad in nude latex. As she said, “I was very particular about the way the fashion looked for this performance,” and she would have nothing but latex.
“A bus company had latex that they were using to cover the seats of their busses and we found the latex and we asked if we could buy it from them,” she recalled. “So everybody’s fashion that’s made here was made from the fabric from seats for a bus.”
Gaga later hatched on stage, revealing her own yolk-colored ‘fit.
But how else was she going to top her meat dress?!
