Lady Gaga Parties at CFDA Fashion Awards

After accidentally exposing her nipples as she arrived at the CFDA Fashion Awards, Lady Gaga decided she may as well go the whole hog at the after-party.

The flamboyant singer ended up removing her custom-made Mugler gown to just the sheer bodysuit underneath, leaving nothing to the imagination.

The 25-year-old had just nipple covers and a G-string protecting what little modesty she had left as she danced at the bash at The Standard hotel in New York.

The singer was clearly in high spirits after being named Fashion Icon at the CFDA Fashion Awards hours earlier.

Her revealing after-party outfit came hours after Gaga’s wardrobe malfunction on the purple carpet at the awards at the Lincoln Center.

Posing with her left arm clutching her turquoise wig, it was hardly surprising that the precarious outfit gave way.

Gaga was assisted by a minder as she arrived at Alice Tully Hall, staggering around in a staggering pair of 24in vertiginous platform heels.

Her dramatic outfit came complete with a ruffled train and with spikes running down between her derrière, begging the question as to how she sat down inside the awards show.

Lady Gaga accepted the Style Icon award from V magazine editor-in-chief Stephen Gan.

Accepting her accolade, she said: ‘All of you made me feel like a star before I was.

‘As much as this award means to me personally… I just want you to know how much this means to young Americans.’

Designer Marc Jacobs received one of the biggest honors of the night from the Council of Fashion Designers of America – the Lifetime Achievement Award.

The 48-year-old said: ‘This achievement is born of love, passion, creativity and a hell of a lot of hard work.

‘I believe we all know and feel the greatest reward is the process itself.’

The awards were dominated by male designers with Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler being named Womenswear Designer of the Year.

Michael Bastian was named Menswear Designer of the Year, with Alexander Wang achieving Accessories Designer Of The Year.

Fury at Muslim Actress Sila Sahin – Posing Naked for Playboy

A Muslim actress has caused a storm by posing naked for Playboy.

Sila Sahin has been branded a “whore” and a “western slut” after appearing topless on the cover of the German edition of the men’s magazine. And Islamic fanatics have posted threatening internet messages.

 Sila, raised in Germany by conservative Turkish parents, says she fears being “spat at” and “shamed”. Her parents are said to have reacted with “horror” at the 12-page coverage, and her mother has apparently cut off all contact. Sila, 25 – star of German soap Good Times, Bad Times – claimed the shoot was a reaction to the “slavery” of her youth. She added:

 “What I want to say with these photos is, ‘Girls, we don’t have to live according to the rules imposed upon us’. “For years I subordinated myself to various societal constraints. The Playboy photo shoot was a total act of liberation.”

But Islamic internet sites are being monitored by the BND – the German intelligence agency – after threats were posted about her “shaming Muslim womanhood” and “prostituting herself for money”. One poster on the Jihad Watch website wrote: “She needs to be very careful…” Another simply said: “She must pay.”A kebab shop owner, asked on German TV what he would do if Sila were his daughter, replied: “I would kill her. I really mean that.

 That doesn’t fit with my culture.” The Islamic Community of Germany has called for a boycott of Sila. About three million Muslim immigrants live in Germany, which has seen numerous honor killings in recent years by fanatical husbands, fathers and brothers. In 2009, an asylum seeker was sentenced to life after killing his “too independent” German wife.

 One police intelligence officer said of Sila: “I think what she did was either very brave, or very stupid. She will be double-locking her door at night for a long time to come.”
