In a time of financial crisis, plumping for a pompadour is quite a hefty political move. Hairdos like this are usually reserved for the Bastille, or for relaxing at home with Elton John. The vertiginous style takes its name from the fashion-forward Madame de Pompadour, Louis XV's most famous mistress, who was widely despised. By sporting hers atop a spotless white floor-length dress though, Lady Gaga is sending quite a message: she clearly has no plans to do any heavy lifting or go near any dirt. But Gaga actually showed a bit of restraint in this outfit for the Brit Awards ? 17th-century bewigged ladies were often followed by a man with a stick, tasked with propping up their mistress's teetering pile of hair. No doubt there's a reality-TV show in the pipeline to determine who gets that job.
