Lady Gaga Blushes In Red As An Indian Bride

If you happen to mix a bit of Indian and Western attires, you might end up looking a little crazy. However, if the 28-year-old Lady Gaga happens to wear a dress which has touch of both, 'gorgeous' will be the outcome. Of late, we have seen a lot of Hollywood beauties in Bollywood attires looking just about superb. Lady Gaga too has tried her hand at a Bollywood dress and she has given us the best look we could ever have imagined. The eccentric singer, who loves to wear uncanny clothing, was recently spotted outside her home in NYC wearing a red pant and top and looking more like an Indian bride. The vermilion Indian bridal colour on the beauty made her look sensational and stunning. Sources claim that Lady Gaga isn't interested in marriage. But she is very keen on trying every bridal attire. From accessories to headdresses, Lady Gaga's bridal collection seems to be way better than anything that comes across as being 'usual'.

This Indian bridal look of Lady Gaga ranks as the best in her bridal collection. We have also seen the beauty in Indian wear before, but this bridal look is somehow the best of the lot. Here is a collection of Lady Gaga's bridal looks, take a look:

Indian Bride

Lady Gaga can grab the attention of anyone in the fashion world. The beauty who was dressed as an Indian bride looked stunning as she stepped out of her home in NYC.

Red Painted Nails

The red painted nails on the Indian bride made her look all the more stunning. We simply love the way she carried the fierce colour.

Peep Toes

To wrap up this vermilion Indian bridal look, Lady Gaga decided to go with peep toes. The red high heels surely added more oomph to her looks.

Indian Jewels To The Bridal Look

She added the quintessential Indian Bride jewellery which included a maang-tikka (the ornament that you wear on your forehead), a necklace, earrings, a nath (nose ring) and a haath phool (hand harness).

Yoga Pose

The beautiful Lady Gaga even sat in a yoga pose while she performed to one of her songs at a club she was spotted in.

The Red Effect!

More than the red effect she was seen in, it was the heavy haath phool (hand harness) that caught our attention.

In Tarun Tahiliani

The outfit Lady Gaga is seen in is in a lovely cream colour with sexy side panel cutouts, embellished with gold and Swarvoski chains. It is overlain with a stylised, draped sari in shimmery lame and chiffon fabric.

Lady Gaga In Versace Bridal Collection

The long Versace featured gold beading wedding gown was of a strapless design, showing off numerous arm inkings. Lady Gaga emphasised the wedding feel with a heavy veil, and tied around her neck was a glitzy, embellished choker.

Lady Gaga's Plunging Wedding Dress

The 'Born This Way' singer was again spotted in London recently in her latest bridal collection. This wedding dress had a long train and gold tiara and not to forget a plunging cleavage.

The Black Blushing Bride

Yet again, this is one of the singer's bridal collections. The black wedding dress with the black veil looks like the beauty is attending a funeral instead.

The Headdresses

She never misses on wearing head gears. The head gears completes her look in this dress!

The amazing Franklin Headen is making his mark in fashion

 

When college sophomore Franklin Headen isn’t in class, he’s likely fitting models for a runway or styling them for a fashion spread.

 

Headen of Charlotte is an image consultant, stylist, designer, modeling scout and agent. He moves freely about the high-end world of fashion, yet he’s still a student at the Savannah College of Art and Design.

 

He styles professional models in swimwear and lingerie, but he also enjoys helping women in their 40s and 50s develop a wardrobe that’s right for them. His mother, Becky Headen, 49, says she may be part of the reason why.

 

“He doesn’t want me to embarrass him by how I dress,” she says.

 

Headen, 20, has helped his mom refine her look. “I basically had a uniform when I was a stay-at-home mom,” she says. “I wore the easy stuff.”

 

But her son convinced her to add color to her basic black-and-white wardrobe, experiment with make-up and grow her hair. “I used to think a woman in her 40s had to wear her hair above the shoulder.” Not so, says her son, who is likely to suggest (or insist) she change outfits before going out with him.

 

He gives the same push to clients who hire him, at $100 an hour, to purge their closets – an experience that can take from two to six hours, depending on the size of the wardrobe.

Headen believes too many middle-aged women think they can’t look as stylish as they once did.

 

“Women get more insecure with their bodies and style as they get older,” he says. “I love being able to make a woman in her 40s feel as comfortable in her outfit as she did 20 years before.”

 

Some of Headen’s clients have a distinct fashion sense but lack the time to shop. Catherine Fortin, 49, a Charlotte-based education consultant, trainer and style/travel blogger, met Headen when he was a student at Northwest School of the Arts and she was teaching Spanish there.

 

Headen has helped stock her closet with everyday items and choose outfits for special events. “Frank understands my aesthetic.” He chose a Rag & Bone leather-and-mesh dress for her to wear to a N.C. Dance Theatre gala in 2011.

 

“I don’t like a lot of embellishment or bright colors,” she says. “But innovation is important.”

 

Anne-Scott Hatcher, 45, hired Headen to help tame her out-of-control closet. She works in her family’s commercial real estate business, so she has professional clothes. But she also has a wardrobe for her line dancing hobby and a daytime look she describes as “hippie/bohemian.” Hatcher was confident in her quirky style, but she had too much of everything. She needed to streamline.

 

The result of her five-hour session with Headen: 31 trash bags filled with clothes she intends to sell or donate. Headen also snapped 44 photos of complete outfits – with jewelry, shoes and scarves – so she has an easy reference for the looks she can create.

 

“There’s something so peppy about putting on a Franklin-approved outfit,” she says.

 

“I advise clients to dress for their body type,” Headen says. He may also offer a dose of tough love. “Some women hold on to clothes they haven’t been able to fit in for years,” he says. He encourages them to get rid of things that are wasting space.

 

A passion for fashion

 

Fashion is all Headen has wanted to do since he first scribbled his career goal in his Dr. Seuss’ “My Book About Me” when he was about 6: “Dress designer.”

 

Part of nurturing Headen’s talent meant moving him in 10th grade from Charlotte Country Day to Northwest School of the Arts. It also meant an internship with Charles Mo at The Mint Museum in the Historic Fashion Collection when Headen was 14.

 

The Mint offered even more opportunities. Headen was involved with the “Art of Style” exhibition in 2011. The Room to Bloom fashion show gave him the chance to meet Jack Alexander, Oscar de la Renta’s fashion show producer and runway stylist. “Uncle Jack,” as Headen calls him, taught the high school student about fittings, backstage management and runway styling.

 

Seeking inspiration

 

Charlotte is not a fashion hub, but it had an upside for a determined free spirit raised here. “Growing up in Charlotte gave me reason to dream and rebel,” he says.

 

“I draw inspiration from beach culture, androgyny, the female form, New York grunge, athletic wear and ’70s disco culture.”

 

He sees inspiration nearly everywhere. “Franklin is thinking about fashion 24/7,” says Nikki Krecicki, 21, a friend and frequent collaborator. Krecicki is a Charlotte native and a SCAD student studying fashion photography.

 

Krecicki and Headen have styled and shot three magazine covers, and they don’t have their degrees yet. Such early professional success is not unusual for SCAD students, they say.

 

Charlotte photographer Deborah Triplett has worked both sides of the camera. The former Los Angeles model doesn’t know Headen, but says his work doesn’t look like that of a student. “It’s obvious Franklin has an innate sense of style,” she says. “If I had a fashion shoot, I would not hesitate to try to get him on my team.”

 

‘A keen, talented eye’

 

“His styling, to my eyes, is fresh and modern,” Triplett says. “He appears to know the secret to great styling, which is … when to quit. He walks the fine line between showcasing the clothing and the woman wearing the fashion. Neither fights with the other. His styling makes it all appear effortless, but the reality is: It takes a keen, talented eye to do this. He’s a great editor.”

 

Being professional, but a little outrageous, is just one of Headen’s contradictions. His website and online persona, Frankly Headenistic, may seem at odds with the Eagle Scout badge he earned. And while the industry he loves is marked by superficiality, there’s a spiritual side to Headen.

 

“I have a relationship with a higher power, whom I choose to call God,” he says. “I wake up every day and try to live in God’s will. Being haughty, negative or judgmental is not who I am.”

 

Trusting in a higher power has been helpful, as being single-mindedly focused on a career goal since age 6 hasn’t ensured an easy path. Becky Headen says the family has endured its share of tragedy. She and her husband divorced when their boys were young, and her ex-husband, Mark Headen, died unexpectedly about four months ago.

 

Headen heads back to school in the fall, but he’s making a few stops before getting back to class. One was the recent Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week (where designers debut their swimwear collections) in Miami. That’s heady stuff for a college kid, but it’s nothing new for Headen.

 

“Franklin Headen is getting the work he deserves,” Triplett says. “(His is) definitely a name to watch in the fashion business.”

World Cup final 2014 - the fashion goals

 

Angela Merkel

 

A strong look. The white trousers and coral jacket are very Riviera and those hidden-heel comfy shoes feel quite Marks & Spencer Footglove; not always a fashion reference to celebrate, but last night it worked. As Merkel demonstrated, enthusiasm can boost any outfit's style credentials by 20%.

 

The award for most enthusiastic celebrity spectator goes to Rihanna, who channelled Liam Gallagher circa 1997 in a silver bucket hat, plus gold septum jewellery. She whooped, squealed, covered herself in ‘Pele’ facepaint, flashed her leather crop top, danced with the trophy and partied with Mario Gotze.

The Beckinis

 

What – the world wondered – was the meaning of the Beckham boys’ Argentina kit? And was Papa Becks expressing sartorial sympathy, too, in his blue, polka dot chambray shirt? It certainly caused a stink in the commentary box. ‘My boys would never be allowed to do that,' fumed Rio Ferdinand.

 

The World Cup was presented in a Louis Vuitton case carried by Carles Puyol and The World’s Highest Paid Model, Gisele, who wore Look 45 from the Louis Vuitton 2015 cruise collection. How's that for product placement?

 

Joachim Loew and his assistants

 

Such precision. Such teamwork. We are talking, of course, about the German managerial team's dedication to style; their smart black shirts reached Kraftwerk-like levels of duplication, being rolled up to exactly the same point on the elbow. The winning look.
