Lady Gaga was born in New York in 1986 and attended school with Paris Hilton. She began her career writing songs for other artists before releasing her debut album The Fame in 2008, which was influenced by glam rock artists like David Bowie. Her early music videos and appearances featured simpler styles compared to her later more dramatic and unusual looks. Her second album The Fame Monster from 2009 had a darker tone and more revealing visuals, seen in the controversial video for "Alejandro." Her third album Born This Way from 2011 promoted a message of self-acceptance for all people. Lady Gaga's style evolved from more restrained early looks to increasingly distinctive and attention-grabbing fashion and makeup over her career.

4. First ever music video‘Just Dance’ from her first album The Fame was Lady Gaga’s first music video...Released in 2008.Lady Gaga has simple straight hair, simple makeup and she is wearing party clothes.This music video is a piece of performance art to represent being drunk at a house party and is quite light-hearted and shallow. Nudity is a feature in this video with the dress but nothing compared to Lady Gaga now...

19. Lady Gaga AppearancesLady Gaga’s most prominent appearance change is the prosthetic bones on her body and face.She gained a lot of criticism for this enhancement as it could represent a link to anorexia and suffering.

20. ConclusionIn her 6 active years as a recording artist/singer/songwriter, Lady Gaga’s star image has developed incredibly. She started out as a pop-princess concerned with partying and getting drunk to progressing into conveying the evils of the music industry and now showing a development of self-appreciation in her new album ‘Born This Way’. However, the way she has conveyed this in her style of music has stayed the same; in a techno/dance/synthesizer style of music. This consistency has made her extremely successful as people can sing along and it can feature in nightclubs.
