It’s no small feat to stand out on the Grammys red carpet<\/a>\u2014or at any music awards show, for that matter\u2014as it tends to be fashion’s most devil-may-care night.<\/p>\n Enter Lady Gaga<\/strong><\/a> in an egg.<\/p>\n The “Abracadabra” singer showed up to the 2011 show<\/a>\u00a0in an ovoid carriage, barely visible through the cloudy,\u00a0Alien<\/em>-reminiscent exterior.\u00a0<\/p>\n “We would call this an outfit,\u201d Gaga mused to British Vogue<\/em>\u00a0about the all-encompassing ensemble. \u201cEveryone calls this the egg but it\u2019s actually a vessel that was designed by Hussein Chalayan.\u201d<\/p>\n She was held aloft by several handlers clad in nude latex. As she said, \u201cI was very particular about the way the fashion looked for this performance,” and she would have nothing but\u00a0<\/em>latex.<\/p>\n “A bus company had latex that they were using to cover the seats of their busses and we found the latex and we asked if we could buy it from them,” she recalled. “So everybody\u2019s fashion that\u2019s made here was made from the fabric from seats for a bus.”<\/p>\n
