Lady Gaga – Born This Way
This one’s a no-brainer: In this Nick Knight-directed clip, models Raquel Zimmermann and Rico “Zombie Boy” Genest make appearances, and Gaga wears custom Thierry Mugler pieces designed by Nicola Formichetti himself—she even got to wear looks from Mugler’s Fall 2011 collection before they hit the runway. Plus, when she’s not writhing around in her undies, Mother Monster rocks two of the year’s biggest trends: pink hair and tuxedo dressing. I’d say we made a pretty strong case, wouldn’t you?
