Lady Gaga meets the Queen, allegedly tones it down

Getty ImagesYesterday Lady Gaga met Queen Elizabeth II at the Royal Variety Performance in Blackpool, England. Gaga is known for her over-the-top, controversial fashions, and though she claims she was asked to tone down her act, she showed up to greet the queen in a floor-length red latex dress, red patent boots, and red Swarovski crystal eye makeup detailing.

"I wanted to do the suicide scene but was told it wouldn't be appropriate," says Gaga. We know the statement-making getups are her thing, but are they appropriate when meeting the Queen? And what about her performance of "Speechless" from a swing while seated at a piano suspended 10 feet in the air? We're sure the Queen was "Speechless" after that performance! [Mirror]
