The Bradley Cooper-directed film “A Star Is Born” has been making headlines lately for its Oscar-worthy performances.

In the movie, Lady Gaga took on a whole new persona for her standout lead performance as singer Ally, and her transformation brings back memories of her ever-evolving style.

Mother Monster, as the pop star is known to her fans, has been a chameleon of fashion ever since she first arrived on the celebrity scene back in 2008 with “Just Dance.” In particular, Gaga’s red carpet looks fully encapsulate her entire brand: You never know what you’re going to get with the Manhattan-born singer.

Below, see some of Lady Gaga’s most memorable red carpet looks.

The NewNowNext Awards at MTV studios in 2008 was one of Lady Gaga's first major appearances after she put herself on the map with "Just Dance."

She's changed her look up countless times throughout her career, but this appearance set a precedent for red carpets to come.
