How To Impersonate Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga is one artist which many people have impersonated. She has a particular image that is typical for impersonators – the blonde hair, revealing outfits and excessive use of make-up, making her an easy artist to mimic, and as such she is a favourite among drag queens as well as female impersonators.

If you want to successfully impersonate Lady Gaga, there are a few essentials you should incorporate into your style.

• First and foremost is the blonde wig. Lady Gaga is well known for her long blonde hair, so the wig is essential. Get one as bright platinum blonde as you can find, and as long as you can, in either a straight or wavy style.
• Secondly, you will need fake eyelashes. The bigger the better and they can be black or include an array of colours or even have gems and jewels stuck to them.
• Next, you will need lots of brightly colored make-up – bright red or pink lipstick and sparkly eyeshadows, with eyes lined with lots of black eyeliner and mascara.
• Finally, you will need some black sunglasses – Lady Gaga is rarely seen without them.

Lady Gaga is known for her wacky, outrageous outfits. Lace, leather, feathers, anything goes for Lady Gaga and as an impersonator, you must be prepared to do the same. Some popular outfits are:

• Lace and fishnet bodysuit with leather leggings and high heel stiletto shoes.

• Lace all-in-one dresses, as see through and risky as possible

• Bodysuits with no trousers

• Masks or scarves over the face

• Spandex dresses or mini skirt with boob tube

If you really want to succeed as an impersonator you need to be loud, brave and daring and this must come across in your look, the way you act, and the way you are. She is certainly not shy, and you can't be either.

Confidence is the key – have the confidence in your own style, whether that be a swimming costume worn in the middle of winter or a coat made of stuffed toys, or ten inch high heels in a muddy park or on a beach, you need to be sure of yourself.

Most of all, to be like Lady Gaga, just be yourself.
