Lady Gaga Channels Hillary Clinton for the Super Bowl, and the Internet Loves It
If Hillary Clinton was looking for a fresh wardrobe update for New Hampshire primary on Tuesday, Lady Gaga just gave her one.
When the singer took to the field for Super Bowl 50 on Sunday to sing the national anthem, she was virtually unrecognizable to viewers, in part because of her shockingly conservative outfit: a pantsuit.
Sure, it was red glitter, and it was paired with American flag heels that can only stereotypically be described as “stripper heels.” But it was a traditional pantsuit nonetheless, with wide lapels on the jacket and retro flared pants.
It was so traditional, in fact, that Twitter couldn’t help but invoke Hillary Clinton instantly.

Overheard at Super Bowl party on Lady Gaga, “She looks like Hillary Clinton.” #SB50
Do you think Hillary Clinton is gonna wear metallic pant suits now? #sb50
A big shoutout to Hillary Clinton for letting Lady Gaga borrow her spangly pant suit for her performance. #SB50

Some even took it to mean an endorsement:
Lady Gaga’s pantsuit would appear to be an endorsement of Hillary Clinton’s candidacy.
Which, if we’re being honest, isn’t a bad comparison. Clinton is far from the only woman to wear pants suits, but she’s certainly the most famous one — and Gaga’s suit was a classic Hillary style, monochromatic and all.
What was very un-Hillary, however, was the other style features Twitter couldn’t help but geek out about: Gaga’s matching red glitter eyeshadow, applied by expert makeup artist Sarah Nicole Tanno.

Okay, who did Gaga’s eye makeup? That match is ridiculous. #SuperBowl

We doubt Clinton will be seen in red eyeshadow anytime soon (or anyone else, for that matter — it’s one of the toughest colors to pull off). But the pantsuit is another matter.
Hillary furiously trying to figure out who made Lady Gaga’s sweet pantsuit.
She needn’t look furiously. Hillz, we got you: It’s Gucci.
