When I started this blog, most of the women I considered beauty badasses were of another era, or of a more rock'n'roll ilk. But, whether love her or hate her HiNRG dance pop, take note Lady GaGa is a total beauty badass.
First of all, the woman is almost always seen completely devoid of pants. You have to be uber-confident to walk around in a Danskin all the time. In all seriousness, while I'm sure she has a passel of pros at her fingertips, she is willing to take risks from her bottled blond extensions, to changing up her makeup with every outfit. What I adore about the Lady Ga is that she could give a shit about her natural born swarthiness, and goes for the gusto, making herself into possibly the most original looking pop artist of late.
She is, very heavily inspired by that 80s EuroTrash look-think overly tanned, bleached, gold and black, think Donatella Versace if she could sing in her youth. In fact she is a fan of the late Gianni Versace:
For some reason I imagine she smells like Lancome's Magie Noir and cigarettes.
YouTube abounds with tutorials on how to do GaGa inspired makeup:
Here's a makeup-tutorial from a woman with a fab accent on how to do Lady GaGa's "Beautiful Dirty Rich" video look:

So props to Lady GaGa for cobbling together a sexy, over-the-top look. And buy the way, don't bother with the pants.
