Celebrities hit the red carpet in style for the 2010 Grammy Awards Sunday evening. Dressed in their best fashion, most women appeared in elegant, form fitted dresses while exuding a classy and sultry look all at the same time.

Then Lady Gaga stepped on the scene in a sparkly futuristic looking dress with orb-like features surrounding it. She flaunted bright yellow colored hair while she worked the red carpet.

She looked like some sort of cross between Glenda "The Good Witch" and Judy Jetson. Her custom-made Giorgio Armani Prive gown was just the start of a phenomenal and creative night for the fashionably bold musician.

"The series of pieces Mr. Armani created for me are truly iconic; they represent not only beautiful fashion, but my spirit and essence as an artist," Gaga told Us Magazine.

This isn't the first display of Gaga's eccentric appearance. She is unquestionably quite the breath of fresh air after a solid set of years filled with ordinary and mundane style in the pop scene.

The 23-year-old artist's eye-popping outfits are commonly made of latex. Although wearing a hard plastic sounds uncomfortable and a bit stifling, Gaga seems to trade comfort for fashion.

A large number of Gaga's outfits in the video of her chart-topping single, "Bad Romance," are made of thick latex. The musician has collaborated with a significant amount of well-known designers to construct some of her most notorious outfits.

Her peculiar hat at MTV's 2009 Video Music Awards, which is often referred to as the "bird's nest hat", was done by world renowned hat designer Phillip Treacy. During an interview in Germany, she wore another design, most commonly known as the "Kermit the Frog" outfit, which was made by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac.

The designer has worked with several other monumental artists including Madonna. Gaga's intense inspiration comes from personal past experiences.

On the Ellen Degeneres Show in November of 2009, Gaga shared a moment of truth with the host. She said that in high school she didn't fit in and always felt like a freak.

So, in creating a space for her fans where they could "feel free and celebrate," she has also made herself into a major fashion icon.

"I like to create this atmosphere for my fans where they feel like they have a freak in me to hang out with and they don't feel alone," she told Degeneres.

Rumors of Gaga's own fashion line exploding on the scene in the near future are still swarming. Currently, she has her own creative production team called the Haus of Gaga, which she handles personally.

The team creates many of her clothes, stage sets, props and sounds. As for her own line emerging, Gaga told a number of magazines that she is talking to fellow artist, Akon, about creating her own fashion line within the next year.

However, there is not currently any ground work being laid, at least that is spoken of. Whether Lady Gaga entertains, inspires, shocks or frightens you, she has successfully captured the art of powerful imagery.

Needless to say, the leotards and latex aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

1. If Lady Gaga came out with a clothing line, I would exchange my entire wardrobe to accommodate ALL of it.
