iVillage Woman of the Week: Lady Gaga

Each week we pick one woman who's done something to make us proud. This week we're loving Lady Gaga for her fearless fashion, her Grammys success and her unwavering devotion to her fans.
At Sunday's Grammy awards, Lady Gaga certainly stood out on the red carpet. Her flashy celestial gown was so extreme it made even Rihanna look reserved. But once again, the attention-grabbing star managed to dress outrageously while still somehow looking pulled together -- no small feat.
Gaga's excellence didn't stop at her couture. The singer's emotional duet with Elton John stole the show. And to top it all off, she walked out with two awards for best dance recording for her hit "Poker Face" and best electronic/dance album for The Fame.
But the mega-star never forgets that it's her fans -- whom she affectionately refers to as her "little monsters" -- who make her so successful. After the show, she tweeted her appreciation, saying, "We won big tonight little monsters, I am so proud to make music 4 you. I hope I continue to inspire u the way u inspire me. You're everything." Then on Monday night, she took it one step further and got a tattoo on her arm honoring them.
It's nice to see a star who recognizes the people paying her bills. And, call us crazy, but Gaga actually seems genuine in her loyalty to her little monsters.
