Four years ago, in 2008, New Yorker Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta burst onto the music scene as Lady Gaga with her debut album, The Fame. Since then, she’s gone on to become one of the most influential people in the world (some say more than President Obama)  and also the biggest fashion icon of the Twenty-First Century.

To celebrate her birthday, we thought we’d do a round-up of her most famous costumes. But once we started doing our research, we realised it would run into a few hundred blog posts! Should we feature her “Meat Dress” or her Kermit (the frog) jacket, or her bottom-baring monokini or her raunchy nun outfit or her Paco Rabanne “satellite” dress by Manish Arora or her……well, you get the idea! There are just too many looks to feature.
