Lady Gaga has already achieved icon status with her music, but her biggest contribution to the culture has been her hoard of heinous threads.
Fashion has always played a big roll in the character of Lady Gaga, who performs tonight in San Jose at HP Pavilion, and the line between fashion faux pas and business as usual blurs when it comes to assessing her best and worst looks—most of which are assembled by her own team, Haus of Gaga.
