Lady Gaga: Fashion icon or Eminem's waking nightmare?

lady-gaga-eminem_l

Well, she’s clearly his waking nightmare either way. We can’t stop staring at this shot, from Sunday’s VMAs, of Eminem’s face reflecting the general population’s thoughts, so it needed to go on PopWatch. (Especially today, as ridiculata tends to pair well with tears.) Visit our updated photo gallery of 12 Outrageous Outfits from Lady GaGa, and let us know if you’re as impressed with her “signature look” as she is.

    Em always looks like that. I don’t remember the last time that boy cracked a smile…you’d think millions of dollars in the bank would allow you to lighten up a smidge.

    • danielle

      nah thats more than his usual look, he does always look kinds like that but in this he like wtf? lmao

  • Joel

    I didn’t like it until I read that she was going for an Alice in Wonderland theme, then I thought it was awesome!

    • mscisluv

      Ah…then the bunny outfit during the performance certainly makes more sense, as does this (Red Queen).

  • paige

    i think its hysterical…

  • Jill

    I would have that same look if she was standing next to me wearing ANY of her crazy outfits. That red thing is just too bizarre and not in a good way.

  • THETRUTH

    I didn’t recognize Eminem without a man’s butt in his face.

  • Sara

    I kind of want Eminem and Lady GaGa to get together… they could inspire each other. Plus they’re both hot.

    • danielle

      Ew. I’m sorry but your comment makes me want to throw up, Eminem makes gun of people like her, Shes just so….ugh

  • Anna

    I think Eminem was playing it up for the cameras a little. He could have kept a straight face, but chose to show his scowl instead. However, I agree with the look on his face, Lady Gaga is over the top with her fashion choices and the novelty is wearing off.

  • GundarkHunter

    Lady GaGa is a fashion nightmare. I thought nobody could top Bjork’s swan dress @ the Oscars in 2006. I was dead wrong.

  • Nicky

    Really, I thought there were better pictures with a creeped out Emimen. Though, I don’t blame him though. The whole Lady Gaga and the love for the avant garde was annoying.

    • mscisluv

      When she asked him to hold her award so she could take the mask off, he was definitely scared – a screen grab of that would be priceless.

  • aa

    how can you not love lady gaga? she’s talented, doesn’t care what people think and is enjoying her moment in the sun. i’d take her over all the celebs whining about how rough their lives are any day.

    • danielle

      She enjoys it because she knows shes not good enough to have her “moment in the sun” last.

  • Olga

    I love her music but i am so over her outrageous outfits!

  • Jacques

    Looks like a damn rooster hybrid.

  • kerry

    at least we don’t have to be subjected to her horse-like face when she’s wearing this.

  • Elizabeth

    I gotta give it to Em for not laughing, but the kid has been able to keep a straight face for a lot of stupid things in the past.

  • André

    seriously, she looks like something out of a “Silent Hill” videogame on that picture.

  • steve

    Eminem is an obnoxious, no talent loser. I hope Lady GaGa freaks that punk out. She can sing. All Eminem can do is insult people and come off a lout.

  • Henry

    So lemme get this straight: Looking ghastly every time (even in her music videos) makes her a “fashion icon”? Really? The standards for fashion really sunken that low?

    • andandandthat

      Listen retard, thats an Alexander McQueen Summer 09′ dress and its probably worth more than you’re house.

  • kelsey

    yuck

  • Ellipsian

    I bust out laughing–in the very best way possible–every time I see that outfit (and the bird’s-nest face one, too). LOVE THE GAGA!!

  • Nina

    I doubt she can be called a “Fashion icon”. Yes,she has her own,unique style,but I don’t think many want to copy it. Her music is just basic pop we’ve heard a million times,nobody would pay attention to her if she wore beige outfits. And Eminem: he could try wearing a smile. He was on the Tonight show this summer and he was so freakin’ serious all the time. If he was going for a “Deadpan” funny face or whatever,it didn’t work. Eminem is so uninteresting,he’s just repeating his old crap.

    • ohdear

      Seriously, I have never heard any other pop artist utter the words “Disco Stick” or “Bluffin With My Muffin”

      She’s FAR from basic cookie cutter pop.

  • Andrea

    I don’t think she’d a fashion icon (at least not yet!) but I have to applaud her for taking risks. These days, when everything looks the same and you can’t tell one blonde starlet from another, it’s refreshing to have someone like Lady Gaga out there. IMHO she doesn’t take herself super seriously and she’s having fun with fashion. What’s wrong with that?

  • Betm3n

    Lady Gaga is the biggest freak i have ever seen in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Lyn

    To aa, Andrea and in general:
    Love her too! I think she is fabulous at performance art. She is unqiue and different in a music world dominated by cookie cutter, follow the the staus quo sheep.
    She has actual musical ability and vocal talent without a microphone that “fixes” her voice. She has her own ideas about the way she wants to present herself and has the conviction and confidence to do so. To the haters: Madonna has no true talent, just a great head for image and change. There are too
    many female artists to name that are all image and no substance as well as no true originality of their own who rely on autotune and/or protune to make up for the lack of vocal talent. LOVE her flair, originality and her true daring to be different. Hope she’s around for a long time to come, can’t wait for her second album.

    • Ariana

      Originality? Sorry but Lady Gaga is walking on ground already broken by Maodnna, Bowie and Grace Jones. Everyone knows that. She may be wacky but that doesn’t mean she’s original. She is a flash in the pan and like the fashions seans of yesteryear will have it’s time to shine, but only someone like Madonna can last. In fact, I think only Madonna is gonna outlast Madonna. Lady Gaga’s career is living on borrowed time. The public is already sick of her. People didn’t get sick of Madonna until the EROTICA/SEX BOOK thing. Even then, she came back as EVITA and followed that up with RAY OF LIGHT. Lady Gaga doesn’t have Madonna’s smarts or intuition. We all thought Britney was the next Madonna, but no way no how. Lady Gaga is the new Cyndi Lauper. Critic’s darling and eccentric personality but she faded away. I’ll tell you, I think if ANYONE can last, it’s going to be Rihanna. Sad but true.

  • Toya

    Em’s face really did sum up what everyone else was thinking. “WTF?” lol First time he presents an award and he gets her.

    But really the outfits are getting old now. I would be more freaked out now if Lady Gaga were pictured wearing jeans and a t-shirt.

    And why do people get so worked up over people not smiling? Geez. Some people just aren’t smilers. Don’t mean they aren’t ever happy; it just mean that they don’t see the point in walking around with a stupid smile on their face to make the world happy. And with all the crap he has had to deal with in his life, I don’t blame him for being Mr. Sunshine.

  • Nix

    As clothing it’s ridiculous. As fashion it’s awful. As a costume for a performer? It’s excellent.

  • Stephanie T.

    In response to Lady Ga-Gas outfit:

    To the chorus of Sex on fire

    “YAAAAAOW-OWWW!! MY FACE IS ON FIRE!!”

  • ohdear

    A smile from Em wouldn’t kill him.

    Especially when the girl looking like a red traffic post comes on stage.

    That being said, SHE IS WEARING AN ALEXANDER MCQUEEN DRESS, WHICH IS A HIGH FASHION DESIGNER HELD IN GREAT ESTEEM AND HIS STUFF IS MORE THAN JUST JEANS AND A TEE SHIRT AND IS WORTH MORE THAN YOUR HOLLISTER T-SHIRT AND JEANS.

  • Lalala

    Ok, just kidding, I actually love his older stuff, but now he should just relax, like he had said he would. And when I was an angry teenager I’d be on Eminem, instead of Lady Gaga lol

  • Lalala

    Ok, last comment I promise… I actually feel bad for Eminem, cause u can tell from his face he like went through rehab or something. He didn’t say anything about her, so it’s actually unfair that everyone is saying he did. When he finally keeps his cool (I’m sure he had his views on her), people still wanna cause problems for him. But if he did say something again, my first comment would be my response hahaha
