Great Outfits in Fashion History: Lady Gaga Channeling Harley Quinn in Sheer Catsuit

There are perfectly good celebrity style moments, and then there are the looks that really stick with you, the ones you try desperately to recreate at home. In 'Great Outfits in Fashion History,' Fashionista editors are revisiting their all-time favorite lewks.

Lady Gaga is playing Harley Quinn in the forthcoming "Joker" sequel, and I cannot wait to see it... obviously... but I also can't wait to see her costumes. The pop icon's style has always been bold and playful, like Quinn's. She's even channeled Quinn at times — like when she stepped out in Paris after walking in Mugler's Fall 2011 show in sheer catsuit street and monstrously high platforms that she took straight off the runway.

With a champagne flute in her right hand and a leather moto jacket in her left, Gaga strutted through the Parisian streets in her animal-printed catsuit and heel-less, thigh-high leather boots (24 inches tall, per the New York Times). This was the "Born This Way" era, when vibrant and otherworldly garments (often by Mugler, then designed by Nicola Formichetti) dominated her appearances. What an outfit to marry the night in.

One thing I've always loved about Lady Gaga is her meaningful but playful approach towards fashion. To me, this look perfectly embodies that unapologetic energy, and it's still relevant more than a decade later, as we see a resurgence in fully sheer looks.

"Mugler was and is my lifestyle," Gaga said in a post-show interview with Suzy Menkes, who asked if Gaga was too young to fully appreciate Mugler. "So much about my new album is about how this culture of glamour... as a glamorous life, as your bones and your blood. This is part of who I am, and this culture is not dead."
