Lady Gaga Strips Down, Gets Dirty in New ‘ARTPOP’ Film
Lady Gaga's ARTPOP album may have already dropped earlier this month, but the singer-turned-fashion adventuress is far from finishing promotional work for it, as evidenced by a new short film she released yesterday.
Simply titled "An ARTPOP Film Starring LADY GAGA," the video was directed by famed fashion photographers Inez and Vinoodh.
"This album is a celebration. My pain exploding in electronic music, it’s heavy but after I listen to it I feel happy again, I feel lighter," Gaga's voice narrates, followed by a slow-motion shot of her in a white veil and short, white dress walking towards the camera as she waves like a beauty queen as the lights flash on her imitating paparazzi cameras.
The rest of Gaga's looks (which you can see after the jump!) vary from one extreme to another as she's nude (her modesty covered by strategically-placed dirt and moss) resembling an earthy goddess one moment and then sporting a wig that obscures her face so much that all you can see is her exaggerated teeth grill (first seen when she walked the red carpet at this year's YouTube Awards).

The 27 year-old also appears in white lingerie, writhing on the floor as she awkwardly "dances" to her music, although it kind of ended up looking like a weird American Apparel ad. She also strips both her face of makeup and her hair of wigs in various shots of the film - shots in which she, quite frankly, looks the most beautiful! Naturally, she also sashays in a number of avant garde costumes - by Gaga's standards, a relatively normal black gown worthy of red carpet status, something that doubles as a human-sized birds' nest, and white collared blouse under a very Chanel-esque blazer with metallic versions of what appear to be Alexander McQueen armadillo shoes.
Although these are all looks that fans haven't quite seen before (save for the teeth grill perhaps), it still provokes a certain déjà vu because we've come to expect this from Lady Gaga. What made her interesting at first was because she was so different, but her "different" looks have all become uniform. It would be refreshing to see her shed this skin and transform into something new instead of looking artsy for art's sake.
