BACK IN TIME: LADY GAGA APPEARS ON “A CURRENT AFFAIR” IN DESIGNS BY ZEINE & ANIA LEIKE
Back on July 11, 2011 Lady Gaga made a special appearance on the Australian show “A Current Affair” to promote her album “Born This Way” and perform her singles “The Edge of Glory" and “Yoü & I”.
She was styled by Nicola Formichetti and Brandon Maxwell. Hair by Frederic Aspiras, makeup by Tara Savelo, respectively.
The sheer black zip-up front top (which she wore as a dress) with built-in bra, padded shoulders and boned corset waist, embellished with thousands of gold buttons and gold filigree lace trim belongs to the Zeine graduate collection — a label founded by Istituto Marangoni alumni Zein Malhas.
Her hat is decorated with this vintage Versace gold Medusa bag charm which she repurposed as a brooch several times.
Her gold sunnies with geometric grid pattern along the sides are vintage Dior Edith frames!
The gold dangling coin earrings with logo charm and crystal are vintage 1980s Chanel.
Gaga’s black Italian leather belt with gold buckle, Medusa elements and studs is vintage Versace.
Pleaser’s Adore-1020 black patent lace-up front platform ankle boots completed the look ($81.95).

For her performance, Gaga donned another Istituto Marangoni student’s work. The look, which belongs to Ania Leike’s “Sleep Paralysis” collection, is constructed of melted and molded rubber and consists of a form-fitting bodice with high neck and a full open peplum skirt with a slender-fitting mini skirt.
The black vinyl lace-up ankle boots with pointed toes and red bottoms are a customized version of Pleaser’s Seduce-1020 boots.
On July 13, 2011 Lady Gaga decided to treat her Australian monsters with a very special, one-of-a-kind show which took place at Sydney Town Hall (Gaga changed it to Sydney Monster Hall for a day). The show celebrated the release of “Born This Way” in Australia.
Gaga was styled by Nicola Formichetti and Brandon Maxwell.
Gaga asked Versace to design all of the stage looks exclusively just for this performance.
The first costume comprises a nude chiffon catsuit with strong shoulders, showered in Swarovski crystals in all kinds of sizes. It was accompanied by a studded gold Medusa wrestling belt.
Her dancers all wore custom Zana Bayne leather harnesses.
Her gold sunnies with geometric grid pattern along the sides are vintage Dior Edith frames!
Next, the songstress sported vintage 1980 Givenchy logo button clip-on earrings.
The black patent lace-up ankle boots with pointed toes and red bottoms are a customized version of Pleaser’s Seduce-1020 boots.
Moving on with the second look!
Gaga took the stage in a black and silver crystal-embellished zig zag cut-out bodysuit with black mesh insert and exposed back zipper. The strong shoulders make an appearance again!
Let’s not forget these! These are her iconic and favorite Savannah boots from Penthouse.
Can’t decide if this one’s my favorite or the next look.
Here Gaga rocks another bespoke bodysuit with black mesh insert, fully covered in jet black crystals and featuring a gold-studded leather sculpture, inspired by vintage couture collections.
In this backstage photo we can spot her wearing the vintage 1961 Dejourview C2 that she purchased from Vintage Frames Company.
Finally, Gaga performed “Judas” in a vintage look from 1996 which comprised these spandex leggings printed with a fruit, butterfly and baroque pattern.
She also wore a black blazer which she paired with a button-embellished bra top from Instituto Marangoni graduate label Zeine by Jordanian designer Zein Malhas!
She completed the look with a single large crystal hoop earrings, the Chanel 01455 oversized shield sunglasses with chain embellishment from Vintage Frames Company...
...and vintage Versace black leather belt with Medusa emblems (similar pictured).
