”After trying 10 or so dresses…I saw an oversized Marc Jacobs suit buried quietly in the corner…In this suit, I felt like me today. In this suit, I felt the truth of who I am well up in my gut. And then wondering what I wanted to say tonight become very clear to me…I decided today I wanted to take the power back. Today I wear the pants.” -Lady Gaga

We love when a woman takes a simple tuxedo and turns up the edge factor!
