Going Gaga at Thierry Mugler's Paris Fashion Show

Fashion and music are symbiotic. Back in 2009, Lady Gaga premiered her song, Bad Romance, at the Alexander McQueen show (Missed it? Catch it here.) This season, Gaga mixes it up with a remix of Born This Way for Thierry Mugler's menswear show, which kicked off Paris Fashion week on January 19th. Given that Gaga's stylist, Nicol Formichetti, now heads up the label, it makes sense for these two to collaborate. You can watch the dark, pulsating video with repetitive German lyrics here.

Directed by fashion photographer Mariano Vivanco, this moody black and white short film, signals the rebirth of the label under Fromichetti. Stripped down to the basics, the label is now known simply as Mugler.

On the runway, there was the requisite twist on black, but there were also splashes of orange (Yes, you read that right!) suits to break up the monotones. Black make-up, white veils, and an eclectic melange of fabrics added visual texture. Think Thriller meets Berlin.

Although Lady Gaga was credited as "musical director of this menswear project", the Lady herself was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps she didn't want to detract from the runway.

While we're on the subject of music idols, you can win a trip to the American Idol finale and the opportunity to snag $10,000,0000 or $10,000 in the AT&T $10,000,000 Idol Sweepstakes. That's enough to create your own song or short film in Paris. Idle on over and enter.

Cheeky Gaga Leaves Onlookers Gaga

"I see London, I see France." Hmmm... Lady Gaga barely wears underpants.

Tricked out in not much more than ratty fishnets, a nude bodysuit that looked like a thong in the back, cripplingly high platform boots, and a black leather jacket, Gaga ignored the sub-zero Paris weather and showed off her ass-ets as she left the Park Hyatt to shop at Bruce Field. Burr. Or, should I say, bare?!?!

Butt... Even Lady Gaga's cheeky attire couldn't prevent her concert from being postponed when she got stuck on a bus, thanks to the snow, and 28 of her trucks for the Monster Ball were detained due to dangerous road conditions. To make up for it, "I promise to give u the nights of ure life. X" Gaga tweeted.

Oh, shoo. No, make that, shoe. Last night, Gaga was back on stage at Palais Omnisports de Bercy, where she surprized her little monsters by tossing her custom made Armani shoes (okay, platform boots!) into the crowd. Wonder whose going to walk a mile in those!

And speaking of shoes, Easy Spirit is giving away $1,000 and a new pair of Easy Spirit Anti-Gravity shoes in their Treat Your Feet Sweepstakes. Get started on the right foot, and use the money to stroll through Paris! Stride on over and enter.
