Happy Birthday, Lady Gaga! The Grammy award winner, who turns celebrates her golden birthday today, is known for her infectious music, outlandish music videos, and most notably, her larger-than-life wardrobe (Gaga's one-of-a-kind style even spawned cool Halloween costume inspiration!) that includes origami structured gowns and plenty of leather. There's no sign of stopping the 'G.U.Y' singer, who most recently signed on to front Versace's spring/summer 2014 ad campaign.

Celebrate the singer's big day by looking back at her most eclectic and elegant outfits.
