Lady Gaga turns 35 on March 28, 2021. To celebrate, we're looking back on her best looks. The singer and style icon channeled another fashion legend with her look on the the 91st Annual Academy Awards red carpet: Audrey Hepburn. Gaga stunned in a black Alexander McQueen gown, complete with gloves and a diamond that had previously graced Hepburn's own neck.
