'I love the Bettie Page bangs and the aesthetic of the film noir and the hair,' he says.By Jocelyn Vena Lady Gaga in her "Telephone" video Photo: Interscope Lady Gaga rocks many interesting looks in her "Telephone" music video, from crime-scene tape, a '40s suit and hat, a bikini and jacket made of leather and studs to a leopard-print leotard and an American-flag-print bikini. Oh, and let's not forget all her telephone-inspired headgear. Beyoncé also gets her fashionista on, thanks to an American-flag dress, a yellow latex dress with matching cowboy hat and a funky military-inspired blue satin top with cutoff denim shorts. TV personality Jai Rodriguez, who appears in the video as a reporter, said the looks are amazing. "I think the military thing [is the best]," he told MTV News. "The big, oversized, shoulder-paddy bedazzled jackets. I don't think it's something Beyoncé would have rocked on her own, but being in a Gaga video, she made it her own. Made it very B. I love the Bettie Page bangs and the aesthetic of the film noir and the hair. I thought that [suit she wears leaving the prison] was amazing. I love the film-noir thing." Rodriguez is already seeing the video's style influence in the real world, spotting girls wearing Gaga's fluorescent-yellow hair. Other fashion experts are noticing Gaga's fashion-icon status as well. "I think she's growing up nicely and starting to bust out on her own," "The City" boss Kelly Cutrone told MTV News about the looks in the video. "I think she's making much stronger pop-art statements." What did you think of the fashion in the "Telephone" video? Will you be wearing any of the clip's looks in the real world? Let us know!
