Does it get any better than New Year’s Eve in Times Square? The crowds, the celebrities, the hosts and the grammy winning performances. 2012 came in like a lion with Lady Gaga and Mayor Michael Bloomberg dropping the crystal ball. On Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve we waited anxiously to see what would shine the most; the iconic waterford crystal ball atop the pole at Times Square or Singer and Performer Lady Gaga.
As midnight drew near Lady Gaga emerged cloaked in a black cape covered with Swarovski crystals. She had on a black mask also covered in crystals. The cape dropped to reveal a black cage worn from the waist up. As the song progressed she ended in a black catsuit and black mask. She sung “Heavy Metal Lover,” “Marry the Night” and “Born This Way” for all her little monsters.
After a short break there was a costume change and Lady Gaga was back to drop the ball wearing a silver Atelier Versace beaded gown. She accessorized the gown with long gloves and a silver crystal-covered headpiece resembling a night at Mardi-Gras.
