Lady gaga lands new york fashion honour

Lady Gaga was the toast of the New York fashion crowd on Monday night (02Nov09) - she was honoured for her eccentric style sense at an awards show in the city.

The Poker Face hitmaker, dressed in a bizarre outfit, with her underwear over her clothes and a black veil covering her face, attended the annual Accessories Council Excellence (ACE) gala, which recognises fashion's leading players over the last year.

Lady Gaga was handed the coveted Stylemaker award for her innovative outfits and received a tribute from ACE President Karen Giberson.

She told the crowd, "As an artist, (Lady Gaga) is well-appointed in accessories. Just when you thought you saw everything in originality, there she is again. People anticipate what she's going to wear and it's exciting to see accessories as such a meaningful part of someone's wardrobe."
