Lady Gaga named a fashion icon

Love her or hate her, you've got to admit she's got an interesting take on style. At the 10th Annual Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards (CFDA Awards) in New York, Lady Gaga was presented with the Fashion Icon Award for 2011.

Wearing an outrageous Thierry Mugler creation - complete with detachable skirt, studded G-string and a neon blue wig, Gaga cemented her status as a trendsetter amongst some of the world's greatest designers.

"Fashion made me feel like a star before I was," the 25-year-old popstar said during her acceptance speech.
