When Lady Gaga arrived on the Grammys red carpet, we could hardly believe our eyes. Was that really her?! In an all-black, high-neck lace ensemble, complete with a full skirt and a pulled-back, elegant do? You betcha, and of course she was beautiful (and lets not ignore that pink diamond maybe-engagement ring), but...where was the crazy? We’re used to seeing Gaga in full-length Brandon Maxwell gowns while promoting her acting projects, but this was perhaps the first time she’s ever shown up to the Grammys—where she’s worn her fair share of out-there looks—in something so tame.
