(Cover) - EN Star Style - Lady Gaga is "obsessed" with Versace.

The American songstress is famed for her eccentric fashion choices and often sports unconventional attire.

The 24-year-old star recently accepted the Council of Fashion Designers of America's (CFDA) prestigious fashion icon award, cementing her place as a fully-fledged fashionista.

The eccentric singer, who has walked on the catwalk for Thierry Mugler, says her latest look is a tribute to Gianni Versace, who was murdered in 1997.

"Right now I'm having an obsession with Versace. I'm so Italian, I worship him," she said in an interview with a British television show.

Gaga is grateful to Gianni's sister, Donatella Versace, for making the star's fashion accessible. The 56-year-old Italian designer is currently Vice President of the Versace group and well as chief designer, taking over after her brother died.

"Donatella has opened the archives for the first time since Gianni's death," she said. (C) Cover Media
