The ‘G.U.Y.’ music video probably has the most costume changes out of all of Gaga’s videography, including the dancers and models. As always, click here to check out the last post.
For the second dance sequence, Gaga sports the golden latex Star cut-out bodysuit with layered Paris cups Atsuko Kudo created for Charlie Le Mindu’s Fall/Winter 2013 “Gold Sabah” collection (£325).

For the third dancing sequence, Gaga wears the shiny noir floral jacquard skinny fit jeans,...
...the double-sided Medusa head boxer leather belt,...
...and several stackable chain Medusa rings along with a silver Icon ring with inset crystals, all from Versace’s Spring/Summer 2014 collection.
The laser-cut non-woven impregnated polyester dresses, worn by the cloning lab assistants, belong to Matija Čop‘s “City Lace” collection, based “on the research of textile which is structured to present the city streets and roads in the form of lace.
With the help of vector graphics language a matrix of the city is created and then used as a pattern for the textile structure. Processed by computer language, the intertwined lines of the city are treated as the warp and weft in traditional weaving”.
The Futuristic Steampunk eyewear masks, the assistants’ looks were finished with, were hand-made by Hi Tek Designs.
For the office scene, the singer sports the Finn black & white dyed raccoon fur coat from Helen Yarmak’s Spring/Summer 2014 “The Fur Sensation” collection.
Her intricate catsuit is from Somarta’s 2012 collection. The two housewives next to her are rocking Somarta catsuits as well!
She crowned the look with the Electra black wing headpiece by Arturo Rios...
... and the Pleaser Beyond-1020 vinyl platform lace-up ankle boots.
One of the handsome male clones at the end of the video, wears an oversized Lady Gaga ID necklace, custom-made by Tarra Rosenbaum.

The final look comprises a vintage 90s Sentimental New York silver and transparent PVC set with crop top and flared skirt from New York Vintage.
Her holographic heels are from Christopher Kane’s Spring/Summer 2014 collection.
After touring the theatre version of The Monster Ball Tour from November 2009 - January 2010, Lady Gaga decided to revamp the show with a whole new concept, stage and costumes - thus the arena version was born!
The singer opened the show with ‘Dance in the Dark’ and emerged on stage in a fully purple outfit.
Her leather jacket with exaggerated shoulders and asymmetrical zip front is created by Muto-Little Costumes in collaboration with Haus of Gaga. The lapels and the back of the jacket are embellished with crystal cabochons in cross formation.
The silver sequined shades are custom Haus of Gaga as well.
Her purple scoop leather gloves are provided by Wing & Weft Gloves.
Ellie’s Savannah boots from their “Penthouse” line were almost worn throughout the show.
The leopard printed latex bodysuit with semi-sheer panels, she wore underneath, is a custom creation by Atsuko Kudo for which she used the base of her 50s cup bodysuit.
Before the Atsuko Kudo bodysuit emerged, Gaga used this custom Armani Privé royal blue crystal-embellished space bodysuit with matching lightning bolt headpiece co-designed with Philip Treacy.
For this segment of the show all of Gaga’s dancers are dressed in custom colored leather vests by Jaiden Rva James.
The Haus of Gaga further customized them by scribbling on them, making each vest a one-of-a-kind piece.
For her show in Manchester Gaga debuted quite the unique wig and outfit variations.
Here she wore a purple version of the Armani Privé winged crystal jacket she wore at the Grammys paired with a custom Haus of Gaga strapless lightning bolt lycra bodysuit.
For ‘Fame’, Gaga takes the stage in a red cloak cape with oversized satin bow and matching headdress custom-made by Haus of Gaga.
Young Scottish designer Rachael Barrett was commissioned to create a semi-sheer silicone dress based on the designs she previously did for Gaga’s ‘Bad Romance’ and ‘Telephone’ video for the nun/nurse-inspired look.
Both the nude illusion taped underwear and latex nun headdress are custom Haus of Gaga while her skeletal hand was crafted by Gary Card.
Pictured above is a similar version of her custom Pleaser white patent ankle boots.
For “Money Honey” in Manchester, Gaga slipped into this adorable Beetlejuice-inspired Haus of Gaga fit which comprised a blazer with long tail & crystal tassels replacing the buttons and high-waisted skinny pants.
For Dublin, Gagaloo whipped out her custom Armani Privé metallic blue suit jacket and Alex Noble animal horn headpiece with feather and paillette embellishment.
The main ‘Money Honey’ look for the tour comprised this head-to-toe custom Armani Privé military-inspired double-breasted black vinyl coat with matching mask shades.
The base for her mask shades were these Alain Mikli crystal-embellished sunglasses which were originally created for Dalida in 1985.
The black latex underwear, she revealed underneath for ‘Telephone’, is by Atsuko Kudo and was embellished with studs by Haus of Gaga.
Keko Hainswheeler created the wheel-shaped feathered studded harnesses Gaga wore around her boots.
Keko is also the Mr. Magic Hands behind this feathered, studded face harness Asiel wore during this part of the show!
For ‘So Happy I Could Die’ Gaga wore a stunning custom Prada look, based on the colors and materials used in the Fall/Winter 2010 collection.
Both pieces “are made of ciré, a plastic and technical jersey. The embroidery reveals a black Guipure flower motif with lace trimming. The skirt recalls a panier structure, typical of the 18th century”
Gaga then settled for the Living dress which was inspired by Hussein Chalayan’s earlier moving robotic designs.
It was made by the Haus of Gaga in collaboration with Jim Henson Companie’s costume designer Vinilla Burnham and with mechanical assistance by senior animatronic designer Adam Wright and his team.

The sculptural crystal-embellished glass platform ankle boots are another bespoke Armani Privé creation.
Gaga then takes us to the forest where we encounter the monsters.
As the only blonde monster in the entire forest, she wears a bespoke Charlie le Mindu hair “dress” and belt inspired by the design from his Fall/Winter 2009 debut collection.
The Sacred Heart Chimera was custom-made by Alex Noble.
This bodysuit boasts a crystal-embellished front, feathers and hair all over and a gold metal mesh hood.
Both the structured glossy and the textured leather bodysuits with deep-plunging neck are custom Zaldy. L.O.V.E!
She then swapped the bodysuits out for a custom Haus of Gaga zip-up center harness leather bra that she wore with Atsuko Kudo latex briefs.
For ‘Poker Face’, Gaga first rocked the Muto-Little Costumes one-sleeved leopard print catsuit with matching hood and military hat we saw in the 'Telephone’ video...
... before she replaced it with the second-kin black delicate lace knitted Swarovski crystal-showered catsuit from Somarta’s Fall/Winter 2007 “Protean” couture collection...
...which she paired with chained leather panties from DOG, custom chain Private Universe cuffs by Odradek and custom Haus of Gaga lace hood.
Both the green one-shoulder origami dress and crystal-embellished deep-plunging strapless bodysuit, Gaga rocks during ‘Paparazzi’, are Haus of Gaga creations.
The dress is inspired by a design from Thierry Mugler’s Spring/Summer 2008 collection.
Finally, all three of Gaga’s different looks for ‘Bad Romance’.
We first spotted her in this sculptural lobster-inspired one-sleeved silver crystal bodysuit, custom-made for our girl by Armani Privé.
Then we got a glimpse of her in a custom Rachael Barrett semi-sheer belted white silicone jacket...
... paired with the crystallized lobster headpiece by Philip Treacy, of course...
...until she finally settled for this mirrored metallic silver leather piece of art by Armani Privé, which included a heavily structured mini dress, matching helmet with shades, a single cuff and platform ankle boots.
The dancers are all rocking custom Haus of Gaga looks paired with bespoke Alun Davies disco ball accessories including helmets, arm braces and shoulder pads.
BACK IN TIME: LADY GAGA WEARS CUSTOM CALVIN KLEIN TO RAINFOREST FUND BENEFIT CONCERT
Lady Gaga perfomed during the Rainforest Fund 21st Birthday Celebration Benefit Concert held on May 13, 2010 at Carnegie Hall in New York City.
Founded by Sting and Trudie Styler, the mission of the foundation is to support indigenous and traditional people of the world’s rainforests in their efforts to protect their environment and fulfill their rights.
For her arrival, Gaga wore a custom Calvin Klein black needle punched silk taffeta seamless bustier dress. “It was important for this look to exude power and dominance, but with an edge.” said Francisco Costa, who was the Calvin Klein Collection Women’s Creative Director.
The Somarta Crow second skin catsuit is from the Fall/Winter 2007 “Wunderkammer” collection
The patterns of the skin series differ based on the theme of each collection. This one is inspired in a mixture of feathers and plants.
Love from every angle.
The shades are vintage Jean Paul Gaultier 56-8171 sunglasses in black.
She also wore studded black meather motorcycle leather gloves by Chanel.
The delicious one-of-a-kind white cord inlay dress over the tulle-shell bustier dress and the knit catsuit that looked like if made off the finest spider webs, are another Calvin Klein custom pieces.
“Definitely had bondage references, but still retained an almost mystical air of lightness to it,” noted Costa.
Her Standing Lace tiara is by Jennifer Behr. French lace painstakingly cut and hand-stitched to flexible wire. Attached to a silk-wrapped skinny headband.
Both looks were completed with the Noritaka Tatehana Night Maker black leather heelless ankle boots.
As you know, while in Japan, Lady Gaga and Terence Koh did their magic during the one-off GagaKoh performance M·A·C Viva Glam and KCD Worldwide hosted at the Tabloid club in Tokyo. Nicola Formichetti took over the fashion directing.
GagaKoh arrivals: The Bride.
Dressed in an astonishing Somarta crystal-embellished nude second-skin catsuit with high neck from the Fall/Winter 2007 “Protean” collection.
The bobby pin headband is custom YOSHiKO CREATiON PARiS.
Both her gold-tone rope button earrings and pearl lace gloves with seashells are Chanel pieces.
Iconic leather Collier de Chien cuff with pyramid studs from Hermès - one of my favourite accessories ever designed by the brand.
Heel-less Night Maker black leather ankle boots by Noritaka Tatehana and a white feather waist piece completed the look.
GagaKoh was inspired by a stately Shinto wedding procession at the Meiji Temple. It was Terence’s and Gaga’s very personal version of the day before the event.
The groom wore a white wedding headpiece specially created for the event by Balmung (you can read more about the show and see both Gaga and Terence wearing their one-of-a-kind wedding headpieces here).
I’m sure you recognized the white piano Terence “brought” with him all the way to Japan and for this special occasion crowned with five-foot-tall papier-mâché bunny head – his “spirit animal”.
The bride wore another delicious Second Skin catsuit from Somarta. This one belongs to the Fall/Winter 2008 “L’Oiseau Bleu” collection.
The Second Skin was hand-painted with blue spray and metallic silver foil, using an artisanal technique very similar to some make-up techniques. The knitting pattern was inspired in tribal tattoos, such as Henna.
Her white ruffled shoulder piece was custom-made by Japanese brand Fur Fur while the lace-trimmed veil is from their Fall/Winter 2010 collection.
She completed the look with a customized shorter version of Pleaser’s Seduce-3000 white vinyl stiletto boots.
All of her talented dancers rocked white rabbit masks made of recycled rubbish, custom-made by Japanese underground label writtenafterwards by Yoshikazu Yamagata.
