While its visuals were no doubt memorable for fans of the "Born This Way" video, Lady Gaga's funky fashions have also caught the eye of fashionistas everywhere. The video's creative director, Laurieann Gibson, credits Gaga's stylist, Nicola Formichetti, for embracing eye-catching couture for the Nick Knight-directed clip.
"When we found Nicola Formichetti — we found him when we were doing Much Music — before that we were just basically hustling and she was making a lot of the costumes, and we were grinding and America Apparel was our best friend," Gibson recalled. "And then we found Nicola and he just got it. So when we're on set, the Haus is such a collaboration, and Nicola is inspired and loves the passion of the dance. He is fashion, and him and Gaga together are magic. To see them push and pull, it's just a real process. It's like the Factory. It's very Warhol how we operate."
Formichetti blogged about the video's expansive fashion credits. In the opening sequence of the video, the star wears a head accessory by Alexis Bittar, a diamond neckpiece by Erickson Beamon with earrings by Pamela Love, and a stained-glass dress by Petra Storrs. Gaga also wears finger rings by Erickson Beamon and the technical chiffon was designed by Thierry Mugler.
During the birthing scene, co-star Raquel Zimmermann wears a bodysuit by Atsuko Kudo and a neckpiece by the Baroness. Gaga wears shoes by Natacha Marro. In the following scene, Zimmerman wears boots by Kobi Levi. And for Gaga's floating head scene, she wears Kudo and Levi, as well.
During the evil-Gaga gun scene, the singer dons knife shoes by Mugler, a dress by Sorcha O' Raghallaigh and gloves by Portolano.
When the song finally kicks in, Gaga wears skimpy lingerie that includes a bra by OMD, underwear by NYC Sex Trash by Stephanie Paterek, gloves by LaCrasia and customized half-sole shoes by Capezio. She completes the look with a special "BTW" jacket by TomTom.
For the "Born This Way" skeleton scene, both she and her skeleton lover, Rico, wear tuxedos by Mugler. For the orgy, the slime is courtesy of Bart Hess. For her Michael Jackson impression in the alley, Gaga wears a shirt and pants by Haus of Gaga, shoes by Natacha Marro, a Billykirk belt and LaCrasia gloves. As the video closes out, the unicorn horn is courtesy of Jennifer Behr.

'Far Away' singer tells MTV News she's 'ready to unleash' the real Marsha on solo debut.

Marsha Ambrosius is like that gifted actor who dutifully plays understudy to the stage vet, patiently waiting for her turn under the house lights. Now, after years of putting in work behind the scenes, she's ready to hit her mark. Consider the Brit singer's debut, Late Nights & Early Mornings, released on Tuesday (March 1), a curtain-raiser for what's likely to be a long solo career.
When Marsha stopped by MTV News' Times Square offices last month, her jubilation about her first solo offering was infectious.
"I'm ready to unleash all things Marsha Ambrosius. Many people have expected many things from me, and all I can tell you is, you can expect me to be on my album."
An industry warhorse who spent the early part of her career as half of the neo-soul twosome Floetry, Ambrosius has written hits and blessed features for everyone from Michael Jackson (the flutter-inducing "Butterflies") to Wale (last year's empathetic "Diary"). And while the honorary Philadelphia girl doesn't take her musical successes for granted, evolving meant venturing out on her own, she explained.
"I think I've done my fair share of features, done my fair share of writing and producing for many others. It was time for me to hone in on what I wanted to say and who I want to be as an artist."
She soon discovered there was little difference between her songwriter and songstress personas ("I don't put on a superhero suit and become Marsha Ambrosius the artist. I'm me, 24/7"). Indeed, except for those pipes, she's every bit the girl next door, making midnight CVS runs, savoring a classic Philly hoagie and still trying to work up to four stars on the Nintendo Wii's "Michael Jackson the Experience" "Billie Jean" routine (we can vouch that it is killer).
So following a label relocation to J Records and assists from production powerhouse Just Blaze, and longtime collaborators Dre & Vidal, Ambrosius banged out the blistering Canei Finch buzz single "Hope She Cheats on You (With a Basketball Player)." She let that song ride out through last fall, following it up with "Far Away," a Blaze-produced single whose anti-bullying message might have gotten lost in Marsha's super-sultry vocals if not for its provocative video.
" 'Far Away,' it's still making noise, so I guess when people hear the record they'll kinda decide," the newly svelte singer said of choosing her next single.
Before she headed out, racing to catch her train (yes, you might find yourself commuting with the soul star), we had to ask: What about that album title? Because it sounds awfully sensual.
"It goes with the lifestyle, it's the grind. It's late nights in the studio, it's early mornings of having to get on the Acela and get up to New York and do interviews. ... Late night, early mornings: it's the life of an artist, but I think everyone can relate to that."
But then she conceded with a laugh, "The sensual aspect came into it when I wrote the record 'Late Nights & Early Mornings.' [I was thinking], 'Ooh, it's gonna be a late night, early morning when I get you home.' "
Tune in to Marsha's live online performance on Tuesday, from 10 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. ET; visit her site for more info.
