So girls, we all know that most of gaga's stage props she uses on her performance art, her outrageous dresses, her custom wigs, and the custom designed musical instruments like the Crystal keytar and the infamous Emma (the one that she used in her 2009 Brit awards performance) are all made by her behind-the-scenes creative team, Haus of Gaga, but which one is your favourite so far?
PS: I didn't include the lessor creations hence you can only see the iconic ones.
Disco Stick
The Disco Stick is one of the first creations by the Haus of Gaga, along with the iPod LCD Glasses created in 2008. This prop is still used since it's first appearance in clubs. It's the only thing that was not modified or changed after being conceived. Lady Gaga created her own Disco Stick with the help of her creative director "Dada" (Matthew Williams). The disco stick's first appearance was in March, 2008, when Gaga first launched her career in the club scene. The disco stick is made from a silver chrome pole, which has a point on the end. On the top is crushed acrylic plastic formed into a dome like shape.
Crystal Glasses
The Crystal Glasses, often known as
The Fame Glasses, are the first glasses created by the Haus of Gaga in 2008. The glasses are made of crushed frozen acrylic. These glasses are seen on the cover of Lady Gaga's debut album, The Fame. There was a recreation of the glasses made for live performances, however, this version is just the original glasses without the crystals. It's made of solid polarized plastic and spray-painted. The glasses come in three colors: blue, yellow, and lavender. These glasses can be seen in many of Gaga's performances, although most prominently during The Fame Ball Tour.
Hair Bow
Hair Bow is arguably the fan favourite among the other creations created by the Haus of Gaga because of 'The Fame Gaga' teas it gives. The Hair Bow is a bow made of hair created in a collaboration between Lady Gaga and Patricia Morales in 2008. The creation process can be seen in the Crevettes Film, The Brain. Gaga made hair bows for Oprah Winfrey and Paul O'Grady.
iPod LCD Glasses
One of Lady Gaga's more well known props is her iPod LCD Glasses, with them being prominently used in performances, music videos, and in her concert films. These glasses consist of two LCD screens, made from a iPod Classics. The glasses work by connecting an iPod to a composite cord in the glasses which then sends to the LCD screen 'lenses' whatever the source iPod is playing. The lessors could never
Origami Dress
The Origami Dress is one of Lady Gaga's best known outfits. She first wore various versions of the dress during the promotions for "Just Dance". The dress was worn various times during televised interviews and live performances. The dress is inspired by Thierry Mugler.

A slightly altered version of the dress appeared in a picture posted by Lady Gaga on Twitter captioned "MONSTER BALL POST-OPERATION: In a scene titled Battling a Paparazzo".

The Bubble Dress
The dress was created around the time "Paparazzi" was released as a single. The dress has been seen during the performances of the acoustic version of "Poker Face", and "Future Love" during The Fame Ball Tour. The dress is encompassed with plastic bubbles of all sizes. Later during her european leg of the tour, the dress was replaced with a bubble vest. The concept is the same but it's a vest rather than a dress and is easier to remove for her festival performance.
Bubble Piano
The Bubble Piano was inspired by Hussein Chalayan's 2007 spring-line "Bubble Dress". It was featured during The Fame Ball Tour. The piano was used to debut "Future Love". She also used it to match her Bubble dress while performing the acoustic version of Poker Face and Future Love during 'The Fame Ball' tour. Good times
Pyro Bra
The Pyro-Bra was used as a supplement in a couple of Lady Gaga's outfits. It wears like a normal bra, except for the fact that the device is controlled by a remote control used by Gaga to shoot sparks. Lady Gaga first debuted the accessory during the ending of the "Poker Face" performance at the MuchMusic Video Awards in 2009. It was later featured in the music video for "Bad Romance". Lady Gaga created another accessory, much like the pyro-bra, but in the form of underwear, which shoots sparks downward. This accessory debuted during the "Paparazzi" performance, at The Monster Ball Tour of 2010, and was worn again on Gaga's appearance, on the cover of TIME magazine.
Crystal Keytar
The Crystal Keytar is a costumised keytar that has been used by Gaga during 'The Fame Ball' tour and the through rest of the Fame era performances.
The Orbit Headpiece, Full Body Orbit, and Monster Ball Orbit
1. The Orbit Headpiece
The headpiece, designed by Nasir Mazhar, was first shown on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. It later made a reappearance during the photoshoot for V magazine by Sebastian Faena. The Orbit Headpiece is currently on sale on SHOWstudio's website for £15,000.
2. The Full Body Orbit
In collaboration with the Haus & Mazhar, Gaga debuted the body sized version on Saturday Night Live. It was also used in the music video for "Bad Romance". Each individual ring can move in either direction.
3. The Monster Ball Orbit
This was another piece by Mazhar & the Haus of Gaga, which has only been shown at The Monster Ball Tour. This orbit is slightly larger, and is connected to a platform, on which Lady Gaga stands. This is shown during the performance for the song "Bad Romance", and previously "Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)".
The Iconic "Living Dress"
The Living Dress is a dress inspired by designer Hussein Chalayan, and built by Vinilla Burnham for the Haus of Gaga in 2010. Prior to it's debut, Lady Gaga posted a statement about it on her Twitter

The creation of the dress began in the third week of January, 2010. Burnham kept in contact to finalize the design and the fabrics for the dress. Anantomic designer Adam Wright that helped create Chalayan's dress helped with the dress. The dress was finished two hours before its debut, taking six total weeks of creation. The lessor creations could never be as iconic as this dress is.
Disco Torch
The Disco Torch is a new disco stick model much larger than the original version, a yellow light is given off when the torch is turned on. It was first seen in the United Kingdom's Leg of the Monster Ball on February 26th 2010 during the performance of "LoveGame". Since then, this version of the Disco Stick been used throughout the Monster Ball Tour. Lady Gaga uses it as a flashlight (or, "torch"), before "Boys Boys Boys" to "get a good look" at the audience and see what they're wearing.
The Angler Fish
he Angler Fish, or The Fame Monster, is a prop used for the 2010-2011 version of The Monster Ball Tour. When the song, "Paparazzi" begins, the fish appears out of the darkness and its eyes, mouth, and antenna light up, glowing yellow. Lady Gaga says that the whole story behind the fish is that when she was younger, the fish was one of her biggest fears. She says that it's really great defeating her fear on every night of her show. The Angler Fish is puppetered by her dancers, with 2-3 dancers operating each tentacle. The Angler Fish might represent fame. Fish are attracted to the angler's light, only to have the angler eat it when it gets too close, just like at people are attracted to fame, only to get killed by the paparazzi.
Emma
Emma is an instrument built by the Haus of Gaga in 2010. The instrument is composed of a bass guitar, a two octave keyboard, and an Akai MPC1000 sampler with a violin-like scroll and extra decorations. The idea behind the instrument as of now, is not known. Emma premiered at the 2010 BRIT Awards during a remix of "Dance in the Dark" after an acoustic version of "Telephone". The instrument was also used during the revamped Monster Ball Tour during the performance of "The Fame."
The Eternal Fountain
The Eternal Fountain is a prop used for the 2010-2011 version of The Monster Ball Tour. The fire spewing, angel shaped fountain is seen during the performances of "Teeth" and "Alejandro". During Act 3: Central Park (Forest), Gaga and her friends find the fountain, the only fountain that bleeds for you. Gaga then goes into "Alejandro" while she jumps into the fountain and sings as blood pours over her. It was also used for Lady Gaga's American Idol appearance in 2010 during the "Alejandro" performance.
Rifle Barrel Bra
The Rifle Barrel Bra is a prop used in the music video for "Alejandro". The bra was custom made by David Samuel Menkes in 2010. Gaga wears this bra on the cover of the summer 2010 edition of Rolling Stones magazine. The piece consists of two Rifle Barrels attached to a simple black bra using long springs. Due to its weight, the bra is strapped to Gaga's chest with several straps instead of the usual two. A modified version of this bra with added ammunition cartridges was used for the Rolling Stones cover page, and to everyone's surprise, David Samuel Menkes revealed that the new version can actually shoot bullets out of the rifles.
Telephone Headpiece
The Telephone Headpiece is made up of corded telephones in a triangular structure. All versions of the headpieces were made to look like rotary dial phones. The headpiece has been notably used in the Telephone video and during in various interviews (eg. Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.)
The Lipstick Gun
The Lipstick Gun is a prop created by Lady Gaga used in the music video for "Judas". It was used to smear lipstick on Judas' face. An image of the gun was released on Lady Gaga's twitter the day preceding the release of the video as a thank you to her fans for trending #JudasVideoTomorrow.[1][2] The gun was also held by Evandro in the music video for "Alejandro", before being rigged with lipstick. Also, a yellow model of the same gun can be seen in the music video for "Video Phone" and in the Crevettes Film, The Face.
Unicorn Piano
The Unicorn Piano was created by the Haus of Gaga and was first seen on Good Morning America on Friday, May 27, 2011 during Lady Gaga's performance of "Hair". The creation features a matte black unicorn with a purple horn atop it's head with a piano constructed into the side of its body. It's tail is constructed from blond and black hair pieces.
