Alessio Botticelli/GC ImagesWe should probably just be grateful that Lady Gaga is wearing actual clothes and not some insane costume, but this look may as well be a Halloween horror contest entry.
It's like the "Applause" singer rummaged through old bins of her mother's clothes and picked out the absolute worst combo from the box labeled "1979 through 1990." We know the New York native was just a kid when these looks came and went, but she should have seen enough Flashdance to know that this look says "streetwalker" and not "vintage style icon."
And yet the giant teased hair and silk jacket put an immediate smile on our faces. Yes, it's way too Pink Ladies take the Culture Club, but that's what made the '80s so incredible! People didn't care if the style made sense. If they liked sky-high, pointy-toed black pumps then they wore them with their favorite pair of stone-washed denim cut-offs. If it felt good, they were wearing it!
So the moral of this story seems to be that Lady Gaga is living in the wrong decade...
