VIDEO PHOTOS Lady Gaga performs ‘Speechless’ at MOCA’s 30th Anniversary Gala

MOCA NEW 30th Anniversary Gala - Show
 
Lady Gaga was the perfect choice to play the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art’s 30th Anniversary Gala November 14, 2009. She looked like a Wastepaper Fairy in her silver and white dress and mammoth crumpled headgear – something seemingly sprung to life from the surface of a modern art canvas:

Completing the avant-garde look was a Batman villain-esque swirl on the front of her gown and make-up that included Lady Gaga’s patented perma-pucker lip treatment and Ike Turner bride eyes.
 
Her actual performance took place behind a pink grand piano decorated with bright blue butterflies – some sort of girlish sculptural descendant of Joan Miró:

Here’s the actual video of her performance of “Speechless” shot by an audience member. You can’t see Lady Gaga too well, but you do get a good idea of the wonderful spectacle of it all! On stage with LG during the performance is the Russian Ballet and artist Francesco Vezzoli:
