Just when we started to think Lady Gaga was perhaps inching towards a more reserved and muted look, she proved to us that she'll never abandon the “old” Gaga style.
We first spotted Alexander McQueen's Armadillo boots when they graced the runway several years ago, and they remained forever relevant and on our minds. After their initial debut and the beloved designer's passing, only three of the 21 pairs that exist were remade and auctioned off for the very first time. With McQueen's legacy and the unforgettable fame of the shoes' design, the shoes sold for a steep $295,000 altogether. (The rest of the 17 pairs are on display in the Savage Beauty exhibit at the Victoria and Albert museum in London.)

Many models have tried, and failed, to take Kate Moss's crown, but an upcoming auction at Christie's will allow anyone -- who can front the cash -- to do just that.
Aged just 14, Kate Moss made her magazine debut in the pages of i-D, wearing a felt crown by iconic milliner Stephen Jones. This mirrored, studded and stitched piece of felt fashion history will be sold at Christie's upcoming Out Of The Ordinary auction, along with a copy of i-D No.69, 1989's The Rich Issue, in which the images of Kate Moss wearing the crown appeared. Photographer Kate Garner, who was a Blitz Kid and member of new wave band Haysi Fantayzee, teamed up with stylist Claire Hall for the shoot in 1989. Garner says she spotted Kate Moss's fresh face among the hundreds of model shots on the wall at Storm, where Moss had recently been signed. Christies.com Credits.
