Top Ten Lady Gaga Costumes
Looking for a popular Halloween costume what about dressing as Lady Gaga? Lady Gaga costumes are a huge hit all year around, but especially at Halloween.
Lady Gaga Costumes
Lady Gaga has become known for her avante garde fashion sense and her outfits are copied around the world. Last Halloween it was believed that Lady Gaga was the most popular female costume around and this year looks like being no different.
Every Lady Gaga Costume is different and just when you think you’ve figured her out she’ll turn up somewhere in something completely different. Whether you think of her Kermit the Frog coat or her meat dress the fact remains that every Lady Gaga costume provokes comments from around the world.
Let’s have a look at what I think are the top ten Lady Gaga costumes that you could put together for Halloween, a fancy dress event or even a night out clubbing with friends.
Lady Gaga’s Wax Museum Look
I’ve called this the Lady Gaga wax museum look, but in fact there are several different wax models of Lady Gaga in Madame Tussauds and this is only one of them. Including the hair bow, however, I think it’s quite identifiable.
The boots opposite actually come in a pale beige color which is the color you need, you then need to change the laces to black. These boots are the closest I've been able to find to the ones that are on one of Lady Gaga’s wax models at the famous Madame Tussauds.
As for the clothes you need to wear the black briefs combined with a black bandeau top and cover them both with a black cross over jacket like the one shown oppostie.
When it comes to the accessories you will need a pair of oversized sunglasses - classic Lady Gaga style. You will also need a shoulder length blonde wig and Lady Gaga’s infamous hair bow. As any follower of Lady Gaga can tell you wigs to Gaga are like shoes to Imelda Marcos!
As far as the make up department goes, as long as you keep your sunglasses on all night it doesn’t matter how you do your eyes. However, her make up was a lot more sedated around the time that she first wore this outfit so I would go for neutral colors with lots of mascara (or false eyelashes). As far as for lipstick and nail polish, however, the color should be black, in fact Lady Gaga does seem to like to wear black nail polish as she's been using it again recently on her Australian trip.
There you have it - a great Lady Gaga costume and one which will deck the halls of immortality at Madame Tussauds long after you've enjoyed your night out in it!

Lady Gaga’s Meat Dress
Personally I really thought she was losing it when she wore this outfit, but as far as Lady Gaga costumes goes it really did attract so much attention I’d be remiss if I didn’t add it to the list. You can buy this meat costume already made up from Amazon as you can see here.
Now when Lady Gaga wore this outfit she also had a piece of meat as a hair accessory, meat wrapped around platform heels and even a clutch bag made of meat – these accessories you can’t buy and, personally, I wouldn’t want to make myself for two reasons. Reason one, meat’s too expensive to wear and reason two it’ll stink by the end of the night!
Lady Gaga combined this outfit with a long white wig like the one featured here opposite.
She also wore a little bling – a crystal choker style necklace similar to the one I've featured here for you, although on her one the stones weren't all the same size. She also wore a matching bracelet and a couple of large rings. One of these rings seemed to match the necklace and bracelet while the other one was a black one.
As far as make up goes Lady Gaga’s nails were a pale lilac color whereas her lips were red. Lady Gaga’s eyes were minimal in color and accented with her one of her favourite accessories – false eyelashes - as well as subtle black eye liner.
There you have it - an iconic Lady Gaga costume that only she could (would) wear!

Lady Gaga Crime Scene Tape Costume
One of the most economical, but very good Lady Gaga costumes was taken from her Telephone video and is the Crime Scene Tape. This costume couldn’t be easier to put together – simply wrap crime scene tape around your body to hide all the naughty bits and that’s the outfit – done! You need to be very confident to wear this particular lady Gaga costume however and another way is to wear the crime scene tape over a nude colored body suit!
With this outfit Lady Gaga has short blonde hair, although the crime scene tape is also wrapped around her head. Her lipstick is a very dark redish burgundy color and her eyes look like she’s wearing false eyelashes and has applied eye pencil and then smudged it slightly for a ‘smoky eyes’ effect. There is more eye liner on the upper lids along with some grey on the bottom part of the eye lid and a paler color on the under the brow part of the eye.

The Born This Way Skeleton Costume
Lady Gaga surprised us again with this outfit and as I watched the Born This Way video this was my favourite costume and one that I thought could be so easily replicated into a Halloween outfit – it’s spooky and it’s Gaga what could be better?
First you need a slim fitting black tux, white fitted shirt and a black bow tie. Next it’s time to sort out the hair which is basically a long blonde side ponytail with streaks of pink in it.
The make up is what presents the most work and luckily thanks to YouTube you can find directions on how to get the Lady Gaga skeleton look –
Lady Gaga - VMA 2009 Costume
This is now available as an official Lady Gaga costume and it shocked everyone watching the VMA’s in 2009 as she sang Paparazzi and covered herself in blood!
This outfit needs to be accompanied with a pink and blonde curly wig (also available from her official costume collection), pearl necklace and white boots.
I think this is a pretty cool outfit without any blood added to it - but that's up to you!
I love the Lady Gaga wig that was worn with this costume as well because it does seem to soften the whole look beautifully.
As far as Lady Gaga's cosmetics went for this outfit, her nails were clear and her lips were a very pale pink. All of the attention was on her eyes.
Her eye color was dark grey which really made her eyes 'pop' through her mask and later as she took her mask off. In fact her eye make up looked very much like that of the model opposite.
Bad Romance Red Lace Lady Gaga Outfit
This is another instantly recognizable Lady Gaga costume and a great thing about it is that you don’t have to worry about getting the make up right because no one will see your face!
A short curly blonde wig is how Lady Gaga carried off this outfit, but as it is so recognizable I don’t think you’d have to worry about getting the hair ‘right’, everyone will know you’re dressing as Lady Gaga.
Strap on a pair of heels and get ready to paint the town red in this gorgeous Lady Gaga costume!

Lady Gaga’s American Flag Costume
One of the most popular Lady Gaga costumes on the market seems to be her American Flag costume from her popular Telephone video. This was one of the biggest selling Lady Gaga costumes for Halloween 2010 and looks set to continue to be popular with people.
What is the appeal of this Lady Gaga costume over others? I think it embodies, not just Gaga but a feeling of Patriotism and it also feels a little like a superhero costume.
This official Lady Gaga costume includes the wig and gloves along with the headband and flag shorts and top and is bound to get a lot of attention throughout the night!
Lady Gaga Rocky inspired Costume
On the Google Chrome ad we see Lady Gaga evoking Rocky as she runs along the Brooklyn bridge. This is a cool costume that really plays to her love of the 80s in a few of the details.
You’ll need a pair of black hot pants, a black bandeau top and an old pair of denim shorts. Pop on the hotpants first and then the denim shorts over the top and decide where you are going to rip the denim shorts so that you can see the hotpants.
You’ll also need a pair of short gloves like these shown below and a pair of oversized sunglasses to really embrace the Lady Gaga style.
Top it all of with a black hoodie for the 80s/Rocky feel.
Hair is blonde and tousled and lips are painted red. As for footwear this is the only Lady Gaga costume that doesn’t require wearing high heels…………well she is portrayed as running! A pair of black running shoes will finish the outfit off really well.
If you haven’t seen the Lady Gaga Google Chrome ad then here it is below –
Lady Gaga Poker Face Costume
On Lady Gaga’s videos there are always a number of costume changes, but the first outfit you see on the popular Poker Face video is her catsuit one as she pulls herself out of a pool.
This is a great costume and when you add her iconic poker face mask it can only be one person – Lady Gaga!

Now finding a one shoulder catsuit was a little hard, but the one I've shown above can still make the outfit work when you add all of the extra pieces to it.
The extra bit that really make the outfit distinctively Lady Gaga are the mask, bracelet and the shoulder diamonds. Lady Gaga really embraced the origami diamond look repeating it on several different dresses at various events.
I have never seen the mask for sale (although you could try ebay), but there are numerous tutorials on youtube showing how to make it. The tutorial that I've included below shows you how to not only make the mask, but also the bracelet and shoulder diamonds.
I hope you've enjoyed these top ten Lady Gaga costumes and have chosen a great look for yourself. If you're still looking for a different Lady Gaga look then maybe you'd like to check out some of the other Lady Gaga costume sites that I've found for you below.
