Who needs a Poker Face when you can be spine-chilling?
Lady Gaga is the undisputed Queen of Weird, and judging by her getup at the YouTube Music Awards on November 4th – most notably her eccentric set of teeth - she’s won’t be vacating her throne anytime soon.
What’s more, her malevolent-looking dentures aren't dentures at all – but a bracelet. Lady Gaga decided wearing a bracelet on her wrist was just too darn conventional– so why not stick the jewelry in her mouth, instead?
The bracelet, better known as a “dental cuff” is also sported by Gaga on the cover of her new single, Dope off her upcoming album ArtPop.
Created by Danielle Hills, a 25-year-old jewelry designer, the bracelet is constructed of brass and set with real dentures she "buys in bulk from China."
When asked by NYMag if she was worried people wouldn't know it was a bracelet, Hills answered, "Not really. Gaga wore it on her wrist for part of the time, and on the red carpet, before she popped it in. And I like that it's become a weird mystery piece that can be used for different things.”
So why teeth, of all things, on jewelry?
"I love teeth," Hills explains. "I came up with this character called 'the surgeon,' because I was fascinated with the idea of ripping things apart in order to make them heal. So a lot of my designs incorporated destruction and body parts, including teeth."
