The buzz around Charlottesville on Wednesday night was certainly the Lady Gaga concert. It is not just who is going to the concert but rather, what they were wearing.

From wigs and boas to platform shoes and fake eyelashes, you need to wear more than an everyday outfit. Lady Gaga takes fashion to the extreme and her fans love her for it. In Albermarle County, rhinestoned glasses and blonde wigs have been selling like crazy as concert-goers try to re-create their favorite star's look.

At Face Value Salon in Crozet, one lucky Gaga fan received a makeover fellow fans are sure to go Ga-Ga over.

Linda Hirw explains, "I'm a school teacher so this isn't something I get to rock every day as much as I would like to. The Gaga concert is just a really great way to get to do things that I'd like to do on my own but might not work every day while I'm teaching."

Hirw's makeover included Gaga trademarks like extensions, a bow made of hair, a pale face, dramatic eyes and cupid lips

Fans of the artist say they admire Lady Gaga's fashion risks. Salon Owner, Lydia Riley adds, "It's almost like living art to me. To me I don't consider her garish, I consider her sophisticated and beautiful."

Adding an outrageous coat and glasses to complete her look, Linda is ready to rock with Gaga.

Lady Gaga looks stunning like always in that vail. If you don't have anything nice to say....don't say anything at all!

She needs a heavier veil -- I can still see her face . . .
