American singer and songwriter Lady Gaga turned heads as she graced the red carpet at the 2015 Academy Awards held at the Dolby Theatre on 22 February in Hollywood.

The 28-year-old singer, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, wore a white Azzedine Alaia floor-length gown to the event, and later took to Instagram to praise the designer, people who contributed to her outfit, make-up and hair do.

She wrote: "I will never forget tonight. #Oscars thank you Azzedine Alaia for this stunning piece. It took 1600 hrs of embroidery and 25 people in Paris, he's never before made a dress for the Oscars. What an honor. The gloves were hand dyed Crimson, baby orchid blooms hand painted in my hair and killer pear shaped diamonds by Lorraine Schwartz. Hair and makeup @fredericaspiras and @sarahtannomakeup. The brainchild of Azzedine and my dear friend and stylist @brandonvmaxwell ❤️"

However, the Applause singer's red gloves caught the attention of fans and Twitter exploded with funny memes.
