Lady Gaga’s Boldest Shoe Moments Yet: Marc Jacobs’ Rainbow Heels, Alexander McQueen’s Python Boots and More
Lady Gaga is celebrating 38 years this Thursday and we’re looking at some of her boldest shoe moments over the years.
Gaga may be just as well-known for her extreme, high-octane footwear choices as she is for her pop music. Since skyrocketing to fame in 2008, the singer and actress has displayed a love of statement shoes that some may shy away from wearing. A fan of platforms and bold embellishments, she’s not afraid to take a fashion risk.
