Is Lady Gaga the new Marilyn Monroe?
It was back at the Golden Globes when Lady Gaga reminded us of Marilyn Monroe. We just saw her in a whole new light - there was something familiar about that glam-over, complete with a '50s-style LBD, retro waves, feline flicks and diamonds (hey, they're a girl's best friend, after all).
And while we applaud the singer's back catalogue of fearless fashion choices (the meat dress, not so much), this grown-up new look is one we can totally get with.
Less Gaga, more Lady? LOVE.
And it isn't the first time she's channelled la Monroe…
