Lady Gaga is the newest addition to the roster of fashion icons like Sarah Jessica Parker, Nicole Kidman, Iman, Kate Moss and many others to receive the CFDA Fashion Icon Award, but the question is does she really fit into the list!

Gaga is certainly not as influential as Parker nor is she an epitome of creative beauty like Kidman, obviously no feminine soul would want to wrap herself in raw meat or would want to walk the street in ripped fishnet worn over thongs panties, when it’s almost freezing outside.

She may not be what you call feminine beauty, or a piece of elegant delicacy, but she certainly is a piece of grand artistry, which breaks the monotony of red carpet glamour. Her style doesn’t inspire the wardrobes of others, but everyone wants to look at her or anticipate about what Gaga is wearing tonight!
