Lady Gaga channels the suffragette movement in election-inspired outfit
Lady Gaga has never been shy of using fashion to make a bold statement (meat dress...), and with a historical election in full swing, now is not the time for her to stop the head-turning practice.
The singer strutted through Narita International Airport in Tokyo, Japan, wearing an outfit that borrows from suffragette-style of the early 1900s. She shared a gif of the extravagant dress on Twitter—featuring a giant 'vote' button in case the message wasn't clear.
"I've been traveling the world. Our election is an international issue," she explained in a tweet. "If 'he' wins we will be in a weak position globally."
