Gaga who wore a unique Atsuko
Kudo gown to meet Queen Elizabeth II in 2009, said: “I wanted to
dress like a queen in a British fashion, and I also wanted to do it in my way.”
Gaga met the Queen in
Blackpool, England, on December 7, 2009, during the annual Royal Variety
Performance, a TV event often attended by the British royal family.
She added: “We thought
that we would give this look of a queen a modern twist by making it in latex,
and at the time, Atsuko Kudo were the only designers that I could think of that
were actually tailoring latex in this way. It’s very difficult to tailor latex.”
It wasn’t just the latex that
made the gown stand out — the dress also had a high neckline and long sleeves
that puffed above the elbows. To complete the look, Gaga wore pointed red
boots, a curled blonde hairstyle, and an array of red crystals around each eye.
But, what was the Queen’s
reaction? I guess for someone as long-lived and well-traveled as the Queen,
there are probably few things that are shocking and Her Majesty truly enjoys
seeing a wide variety of people from all walks of life, which would presumably
include American pop stars.
In addition, the photo (above)
seems she’s smiling and pleased to meet Lady Gaga.
