First look: Lady Gaga's new stage outfits

Italian fashion label Armani has released sketches of new stage outfits for Lady Gaga's Monster Ball tour.

Gaga already collaborated with Giorgio Armani for her Grammy Award outfits, which will be on show as part of a red carpet exhibition at the brand's Fifth Avenue store, March 5-21.

The new range of costumes consists of pantless, glittery, bold-shouldered bodysuits (a look the singer created for herself and which has since impacted on fashion trends), a geometric, metallicized minidress, and a floor-length, black patent leather trench coat.

Rumors that Lady Gaga was in talks with Versace to create her own clothing line proved to be untrue, as Relaxnews could confirm.

In other Gaga fashion news, St Martin's Press has confirmed the release of Lady Gaga: Critical Mass Fashion, an image-led book on the star's style, for this fall.
