Lady Gaga opened the 2013 MTV video music awards on Sunday, August 25th. Gaga introduced the MTV audience to her new single called ‘Applause’.

Gaga is no stranger when it comes to creating controversy, the singer started her performance off with an all white outfit that resembled a nun’s garment. Later on in the performance, Gaga changed in another eye popping outfit. She wore a blonde wig with a seashell bikini, according to, Daily Mail.

Gaga then made another wardrobe change with her face painted wearing a yellow wig. For the award show as a whole, Gaga did not receive any nominations due to her absence of music last year. Gaga joined other artists, such as Kanye West and Robin Thicke as some of the show’s main performances, according to Huffington Post.

Gaga went through multiple stages during her performance, with each outfit change, her dancers helped her out. The dancers helped manage Gaga’s movements on stage and helped her navigate through her outfits. A blue vest with shoulder pads was also one of many outfits the singers wore on stage, according to Daily Mail.
