Lady Gaga's New Sunglasses Are The Result Of A Long History With Shades

Posted: 07 Jan 2011 11:45 AM PST

Lady Gaga has always loved sunglasses. She has featured them in almost every one of her videos, frequently leaves the house in shades and conducts most public appearances and interviews donning some kind of spectacles. So it's almost completely unsurprising that for her collaboration with Polaroid (which she unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show), Gaga has made glasses with cameras embedded in the lenses as apart of her work on the company's "Grey Label."

Gaga has worn LED shades in her "Pokerface" video, John Lennon-esque ones in "Paparazzi" (a style she has also included in her everyday wardrobe) and glasses made of razors in "Bad Romance." "I wanted to design a pair for some of the toughest chicks and some of my girlfriends — don't do this at home! — they used to keep razor blades in the side of their mouths," she's explained about that particular look. "We design a pair of sunglasses in every video."

For "Telephone," Gaga wore a pair of glasses made of burning cigarettes (which might actually be more dangerous than the razor ones), followed by a telephone monocle. Then in "Alejandro" she went steam-punk styled goggles. We can only assume that when the video for "Born This Way" finally hits, she'll be showing off her new Polaroid glasses. But what is next for Mother Monster? No matter what it turns out to be, the sun will most certainly be kept out of her eyes.
