Do you like Rihanna's Madame Tussauds Waxwork?

Rihanna's waxwork was unveiled at London's Madame Tussauds yesterday, sporting THAT look from her performance with Matt Cardle on last year's X Factor final. We love the styling - the thigh high dress is definitely one of Ri-Ri's signature looks!

Facially, we think the waxwork is perfect, which sadly cant be said for some of Madame T's other creations. As much we love both MT's and Lady Gaga, the waxwork housed in London bares little to no facial similarity, which is a shame. How do you think it compares to the Berlin waxwork on the right?

Catwalk Catchup: PFW Mugler Spring/Summer 2012

After all the hype from Nicola Formichetti surrounding Lady Gaga's involvement in the show, we were expecting fireworks and as far as Gaga history goes, the unexpected. But we were actually expecting her to show up on the catwalk…which she didn't. We were surprised with her absence, but there was, as promised, a short film featuring the superstar. Gaga said: "I am a Mugler woman; don't f*** with me. Don't f*** with Mugler. Welcome to Paris; we are Paris." Check it out, above! 

Gagaloo aside, the collection was interesting. We think it was a bit safe…maybe not for most clothing lines, but for Mugler under Formichetti's direction, it was a lot tamer than we expected. Still, there were provocative pieces with cut-out features in abundance and lots of body parts were exposed, so it wasn't completely alien to what Mugler is used to. 

Check Out The Dress Made From 3,000 Cow Nipples

Lady Gaga's meat dress, eat your heart out, there's a new 'most controversial dress around. Check out the dress made from 3,000 cow nipples…it was made by British designer Rachel Freire and made its runway debut at London Fashion Week. The dress, along with the rest of the 'Nippleocalypse' Spring/Summer 2012 collection, is now on its merry way to France to strut down the Paris Fashion Week catwalk…what do you reckon the Parisians will make of it?

Nicola Formichetti Will Unveil Gaga Film At PFW

Exciting, isn't it? Mugler main man and Gaga stylist Nicola Formichetti will be using his Paris Fashion Week womenswear show on Thursday as a platform to unveil a never before seen video of Lady Gaga. The film was directed by Inez and Vinoodh, as were Gaga's 'fashion videos' for 'You and I' and will feature a brand new remix of one of her current songs (no word on which one yet.)

Apparently it isn't the only thing Formichetti has up his sleeve and although that's all we seem to know at the moment, he will be releasing teasers on social networking sites over the next few days, so keep your eyes peeled. We do also know that Lady Gaga has ordered a set of marquise diamonds for her teeth, so we know to expect the unexpected!

Carine Roitfeld Covers i-D's Dreams and Aspirations Issue

Lady Gaga isn't the only one getting photographed by Terry Richardson these days; Carine Roitfeld got in front of his lens for the cover of i-D magazine's 'the dreams and aspirations' issue. Carine is the perfect model for such a theme, wouldn't you say?

Lady Gaga Unveils her Lady Gaga X Terry Richardson Cover

Lady Gaga's photobook that she created with Terry Richardson will be landing on coffee tables everywhere on November 22nd, but the Lady has given fans a sneak peek at the cover. It's a lot more understated than we thought it would be - we were sort of expecting some 3D, almost holographic and most definitely controversial images that would surely ruffle a few feathers. Maybe even cause some bookshops to refuse to stock it…you know, something extreme.

But Mother Monster always surprises us - and now is no different. This is a striking image though - it speaks volumes and we can't wait to flick through all the pages!

WATCH Jean Paul Gaultier Interview Lady Gaga (Teaser)

We've been hearing about this ominous interview for months and now we can finally have a proper taster. Lady Gaga got a grilling from the one and only Mr Jean Paul Gaultier! If he thought he would be in for a relaxing time being on the other end of the interview process he would have been sorely mistaken. From this teaser alone it looks like it's going to be a no holds barred interview where Gaga talks lesbian sex, drugs and rock and roll. Probably rock and roll - at the very least we can almost guarantee she'll definitely be talking about music. Can't wait to see the whole thing - American viewers can watch it today at 8/7c on The CW.

Lady Gaga For Harper's Bazaar October 2011

If these images of Lady Gaga in October's Harper's Bazaar had surfaced about a month ago, before Lady Gaga's You and I video and before we were introduced to her nymph character, we'd probably choke on our morning coffee and/or Coco Pops. But we got a taste of what Mother Monster looks like au naturel from the music video (and her corresponding fashion films) so we felt fully prepped for seeing a natural Gaga. The good folk at HB have treated us to a few teasers of what we can expect from Lady Gaga in the issue; what do you think?

Not only is she at one with nature in these shots (captured by Inez and Vinoodh), she also embraces a more vintage look in one of the pictures and we have to say we are loving it. No one can accuse Lady Gaga of not being diverse and these pictures more than prove it. Mugler main man and Gaga stylist Nicola Formichetti has once again pulled it out the bag. Snaps for Nicola!

WATCH Lady Gaga's Inez and Vinoodh You and I Vid

Little Monsters if you thought you were just getting a You and I music video, you were sorely mistaken. Mother Monster has treated fans everywhere to FIVE new fashion films to coincide with her newly released single You and I. 

Lady Gaga released the first of the series of videos yesterday; it was entitled Haus of U featuring Nymph and features the singer doing some sexy posing in some barely there attire. It sounds quite raunchy when you put it like that, but actually it's quite tame compared to what we usually see with Gaga - she is sporting a natural look make-up-wise and we like it! 

If you're wondering about the name of the video or if there's a deeper meaning, let us explain: Gaga is expanding on the nymph character portrayed in her original You and I video - you may remember her playing a piano while alter ego Jo Calderone was sitting on top of it? See, it's all coming back to you now!


We like what we see - looking forward to the second and indeed the rest of the fashion films - all shot by dynamic fashion photography duo Inez and Vinoodh. We could easily get used to a fresh faced Gagaloo but we won't count on it being a permanent look for Mother Monster. 

Let's hope this distracts Gaga and her fans alike of the recent Cathy Horyn drama. (Fashion critic Cathy made a slight Gaga criticism which caused the Lady to hit back…full story here) 

Anna Dello Russo - a Gaga Dance Display

Clearly not one to sit at home and veg out on the sofa during a Bank Holiday, Anna Dello Russo decided to create her own entertainment. We're not going to lie - we have no idea what this is… all we know is that some Lady Gaga music is playing (Edge of Glory) and there are some awkward (we want to say dance?!) movements going on courtesy of ADR. 

We have to admit we are quite "jel" that her "at home" attire includes Fausto Puglisi, Versace and Moschino, but then again that's pretty much to be expected considering she got a wind machine and a professional photographer in the form of Pierpaolo Ferrari involved in what is essentially a home video. 

We were mostly focusing on the Puglisi dress - so gorgeous- but occasionally when we did catch wind of the dancing, we…well we were speechless. Still are. Anyone care to shed some light? Anyone?!

The Rest of the Best of the VMAS

Lady Gaga as alter ego Jo Calderone and Britney Spears at the MTV VMAs 2011

When Queen Bea makes an announcement, it's easy to forget that the VMAs were about more than just one bootylicious lady and her newly expanding family. Not only were some of the greatest artists in the music industry recognised, they also proved why they deserved to be there in the first place with an array of memorable performances (Adele and Beyonce blew us away!)  But here at good old Fashion Compendium HQ, the peak of our night was witnessing what all the stars arrived in...

Yes, there were a few celebs who should have, as the old cliche goes, sacked the stylist, but actually there was a pretty good mishmash of great looks around. It's pretty much anything goes at music award ceremonies, which is why although it isn't the start of the year, aka awards season, we can always look forward to the fashion on display. 

Who do we have here then?

Beyonce (obv) and Kelly Rowland, in a gorgeous Falguni & Shane Peacock dress. I was lucky enough to see the A/W 2011 collection at London Fashion Week and knew that it would take a true goddess to pull off some of the feathered numbers…Kelly Rowland was a vision of perfection and this was exactly what I had in mind when I saw it on the catwalk. 

Young Hollywood - Selena Gomez in Julien Macdonald, Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus in Roberto Cavalli - so grown up and sophisticated. They've all been there, done that when it comes to showing the press that they've left their Disney days behind with their various antics, *ahem* bong, Miley Cyrus *ahem* but this time, they've chosen to do it the demure and elegant way, showing real maturity!

Katy Perry's Atelier Versace number was definitely the way we would go if we knew the dress code was bright, colourful and (the right side of) crazy. Nicki Minaj, bless her…well we personally wouldn't go for quite the same attire as she would, but she is a performer at the end of the day - out there to get noticed and make a statement and what have you. We admire her bravery and in a Nicki Minaj kind of way, she pulled it off. Disclaimer: This look is only really advised for Nicki Minaj - it may even make Miss Lady of Gaga squirm a little. Yikes. 

Love how Adele did it for the Brits and sported a Burberry dress - respect! Britney also scrubbed up well in a Moschino dress, making us old-school nineties kids proud that she was our idol back in the day!

Lady Gaga covers Rolling Stone Magazine

Mother Monster Lady Gaga adorns the front cover of the latest Rolling Stone Magazine to hit the shelves. As usual, Gaga is sporting very different look, proving that she gets more versatile by the day. This time she tones down the shock factor and appears somewhat 'normal' - well, as normal as you would associate with Lady Gaga. This just goes to prove that we love her when she at her most outrageous (hatching out of eggs and horn additions galore included) and when she is the Gaga version of 'natural'. We're also very glad to see the return of the hair bow! 

Lady Gaga covers Madame Figaro

Not long to go, Little Monsters. It's nearly 23 May, which means Born This Way the album will be officially out. Hurrah! To whet your Gaga appetite though, here's Mother Monster on the front cover of Madame Figaro, as well as some pictures from the fierce and fabulous editorial. Styled by Nicola Formichetti (natch!) and photographed by Mariano Vivanco, this will fill the small Born This Way hole Gaga fans may be experiencing until the release of the album.

Lady Gaga themed sale at Gilt.com

Nicola Formichetti and the guys at Gilt.com have joined forced to bring a Lady Gaga themed sale to all of the Little Monsters as they count down the days til her Born This Way album. The collection will include items for both men and women, including a one of a kind Mugler dress worn by Mother Monster herself. There are also tickets to the Mugler fashion show up for grabs. You have to sign up before 20 May if you want to be part of the sale action.

The i-D Hedonist issue

Seems like only yesterday the Exhibitionist i-D issue with Lady Gaga (amongst others) came out. I-D have once again picked a flurry of interesting cover stars for their latest issue, which they are calling the Hedonist issue. Which of the cover stars is your favourite?

Get Lady Gaga's Graham Norton gloves!

Did you see Lady Gaga on the Graham Norton Show on Friday night? There were so many elements to her three different outfits, but we've just found out where her amazing leather gloves that she wore during her Judas performance are from and are willing to share the information. We can reveal that they were Corlette gloves from their Garde a Toi collection, and you can get them yourself from the Corlette London website for £235. You're welcome.

Lady Gaga for Yo Dona magazine

We've lost count with how many Gaga posts we've done lately, but she seems to be everywhere and everyone seems to be loving it. Here is our lovely Gaga covering Yo Dona magazine doing what she does best - being herself and owning it completely. Plus we just HAD to do a Gaga-post this morning after we stayed up to watch her perform at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Carlisle. (It was out of this world, in case you were wondering!)

Memoirs of a Gaga: another Lady Gaga V Magazine Asia cover

Three for the price of one, right? The covers are all starting to make sense and fall into place now. The two covers we showed you yesterday represent different countries in Asia, with the colourful butterfly-esque one representing Japan in what the magazine calls the 'Dream for Japan' issue, while the second one depicts Indian fashion with the use of traditional gold accessories and jewellery. The third cover is entitled Memoirs of a Gaga, which obviously channels the traditional Geisha look. They are all striking and beautiful in their own way, but we have to say we love the third one the best because three Gagas are of course better than one. 

It's great to see some of the editorial pictures as well, each one just as stunning as the other, we can imagine they had a hard time narrowing them down let alone picking one for the cover - no wonder they need three! Amazing to see Gaga wearing her Pray for Japan bracelet that she designed too; although she isn't Asian, we think Gaga is an excellent ambassador for the issue. 

Lady Gaga auctions her Gucci shoes for charity

Two celeb charity auctions in one day? Loving it. The one and only Miss Lady Gaga is auctioning off these rather stunning signed Gucci shoes to raise money for the Rise Up Christchurch Charity, which will benefit those who were affected by the earthquake in New Zealand earlier this year. Check out the progress of the auction so far; you have until 22 May to bid. Another good cause - we are loving the charitable fashion today. Keep it coming we say!

Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Madonna outfits at Women who Rock exhibit

How good is this? On Friday, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is unveiling its highly antiqcipated Women who Rock exhibition which pays tribute to and explores some of the hottest and most iconic female recording artists of all time. Here's a sneaky peak at some of the clothes on display, including Rihanna's spiky fierce bustier, Lady Gaga's leotard and Madonna's famous tuxedo.
