Red carpets, in my opinion, call for a 'look'. Let's face it, nobody wants to see a plain LBD, subtle contouring and a nude lip on the red carpet – we're after glitter, glamour and magic. That's why I actually wake up early (and I literally NEVER wake up early) the day after the MTV VMAs – it's an outrageous red carpet and there's so much to see… There's a lot to try and unsee as well, but that's for a different article.
One celebrity who never fails to disappoint when it comes to the red carpet – and her appearance in general, to be honest – is Lady Gaga. Since she shot to fame, she has always pushed the envelope with her looks (must I remind you of meat-dress gate?) and I'm totally obsessed with her latest.

She's clearly not afraid to break rules, and the star paired her silver gown with matching silver eyes – she wore a bold silver eyeliner in a feline flick and silver glitter all over the eyelid. Just to take the look up a notch further (understandably – it was way too subtle), she added a red lip.
There was so much going on but more is more and IT SO WORKED. I can't stop staring at her. I'm thinking this is the perfect festive makeup and I can't wait for the weekend to roll around so I can give this a go – stay tuned!
