Lady Gaga Filipiniana-like Armani Dress

Lady Gaga Opens in a Filipiniana Dress

The first night of Lady Gaga’s “Born this Way Ball” Manila concert was a tremendous success. She was riding a black stallion to wave hellos to her big fans at the newly put up Mall of Asia Arena with her opening concert ball gown which was none other than but our very own Filipiniana-like Armani dress. By the time she sang the anthem “Born This Way,” she was in full length yellow dress still inspired by Philippine national costume.

Lady Gaga's Response to the Controversy

But the protests of conservative Christians by state censor that welcomed her arrival the other day did not go away.

“I am not a creature of your government Manila. Tonight is all about togetherness! In our differences we are all the same. People need to be free to be who they are,”

was her only response to the issue. Neither has it stopped her from singing the controversial “Judas” as most Filipino critics labelled as blasphemous.

The city government on the other hand had again declared another warning of banning for her second show if any among the audience finds hints of blasphemy, nudity, devil worship or lewd conduct.

These have to be into account to the 'Little monsters' as what Lady Gaga fans call themselves. And about a hundred of them had assembled even hours before the show dressed accordingly with her signature outrageous outfits, makeup and hairstyle.
