Happy Holidays. Now, can someone please throw an 'Ugly Christmas Sweater' party? Come on, I wanna pair mine with a trendy scarf.

GaGa Clause

Last night, Lady Gaga donned a custom Chanel white tweed + black trim ball gown, with pearls & bows— impeccably designed by Karl Lagerfeld. The occasion was none other than the much anticipated opening of Gaga's Workshop at Barney's New York, where Mother Monster got to play Mother Christmas. Making quite the extravagant entrance as  per usual, she resembled a giant snow angel—dressed in couture, of course—slash glitzy tree-topper. The workshop set-up appeared to be inspired by Wonka's Chocolate Factory (hello: chocolate Alexander McQueen shoes, monster-shaped cookies) and The Nightmare Before Christmas qualities (evident in the cartoon-like decor + sculptures)—but with an extra "Gaga" touch. The best part about this holiday shop is that 25 percent of sales will go to the Born This Way Foundation. xo
