Big Mama Monster–shopping at Chanel? I never thought I’d see the day (but then again, I never thought she’s own a Birkin, either). It would be kind of amazing to see her in a Chanel ad campaign, no? Regardless, it’s good to see Lady Gaga making an effort to access more quintessentially classic fashion–although you’d never tell she was in the mood to change her look based on the spiked bondage ensemble she wore while shopping at the Chanel boutique in Milan (she’s in Italy for the kick-start to her Monster Ball tour). Check out that leather harness; it is seriously intense. I’m willing to bet that Gaga wasn’t apt to try on any tweeds while shopping that day. Her ensemble is like a cross between Jean Paul Gaultier and Alexander McQueen; in other words: fierce. While the glittery black veil and dark lips might be her everyday look–it’s actually somewhat reminiscent of a stars-themed collection Karl Lagerfeld did for Chanel some seasons ago–it could also very well represent her “death” after taking a vow to be digitally dead for charity. So while she’s off Twitter until $1 million is raised, we’re left to observe her silent self from afar.
