GIORGIO ARMANI has created another unique look for fashion phenomenon Lady Gaga for her much anticipated American Idol performance, which was filmed last night.

"American Idol is a real modern phenomenon that has captured the public's imagination and delivers great drama," said Armani, who has already dressed Gaga for the Grammy Awards and the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala. "To complement the spirit of Lady Gaga herself, I have let my imagination run free, and the outfit I have created for her for American Idol performance is pure fantasy."

The star wore a silk mesh bodysuit embroidered with Chantilly lace and crystal and jet beading, teamed with a silk organza cape, embroidered hood and black patent stiletto boots.

Lady Gaga's performance of her latest single Alejandro will air on American Idol tonight.
