If you’re one of her many Little Monsters, then you could say that Lady Gaga is a rather unique snowflake. She’s had flaming boobs, a Q-tip on her head and has been called a homewrecker. But who can she call her inspirations?

Madonna – This one has always been pretty prevalent with Gaga comparisons. I think she’s trying to be the next Madonna.

Elton John – It’s like she crept into the 1970′s and refurbished his look.

Peaches – Weird and blood covered. Got it. Insane, yes. Popular? Totally.

Madonna, again – Yes, they’re both blond and they’re both wearing black. Ooh, such a copycat.

Marianne Faithfull – Don’t know who this chick is, but she’s got that weird hat thing going on, which Gaga has become famous for.

Peter Gabriel – He’s more like a bubble monster, but whatever, right?

Cher – This is probably the only photo of Cher that anyone could dig up to show a resemblance to Lady Gaga. Still, both pics are nice, serene and pretty.

Grace Jones – Ever wanted a dress that could fill up an entire room? Call on Grace Jones for your inspiration…only don’t brag about it.

Lil’ Kim – When all else fails, go for black and see-through. It’s a no-brainer, really.

What’s your favorite Gaga look?
