Gaga Meets the Queen

When: 8th December 2009
Where: Blackpool, UK
Why: Royal Variety

Let's be honest Blackpool is used to the odd Queen or two but it hadn't seen anything like this for a while. Gaga wore a huge red PVC outfit with Elizabethan style frills as she met her HRH. The Royal Family are not known for 'lovin it' when it comes to the Royal Variety show but the Queen appeared to be giggling as she spoke to GaGa and seemed to be entranced by her unique attire. I'm sure a lady in waiting was swiftly dispatched to get the 'Haus' phone no for any future styling tips.

The custom designed Atsuko Kudo outfit featured a 20ft long cloak and Elizabethan-style collar. For the actual performance she played a "floating" Dali style piano which was suspended on giant stilts.  She greeted the audience by saying "Good evening Blackpool. Let me hear you rattle your jewellery,". It was obviously a family affair as she went on to say "My father is here tonight and I wrote this song for him, it's called Speechless." And for once I imagine Blackpool's Glitterati were just that...
