Lady GaGa Publicity Stunts

July 19, 2009

Lady GaGa is now a name synonymous with PR stunts. I have rarely seen anybody more photographed over recent months than the new queen of modern pop for her utterly outrageous outfits worn on stage, to events and on TV.

Her ever changing and ever outrageous image is a publicity stunt in itself. She gets headlines every week for an appearance here, a photo there. And most recently it seems that a Kermit the Frog Muppet style jacket on German TV complete with Kermit head piece has now hit the headlines.

Lady GaGa, real name Stephanie Germanotta, has shocked over the last 6-12 months with a mix of revealing, inspiring and ridiculous outfits to gain her publicity. Her music (which isn’t bad considering I’m not a massive pop fan) also helps, but I wonder whether she’d be such a big figure in the public eye without her outfits.

Lady GaGa's Outfits Are A Constant Publicity Stunt

Lady GaGa was signed by singer Akon in a combined deal with his Kon Live Distribution label quoted:

‘People dissed her because of the way she dresses, but she’s hot.

‘Everyone wants to look like her. She’ll walk around in London in her underwear and everyone will catch on.’

I’ve included a few pics to show how ‘dressing different’ can really help get you publicity.
