Or if it is not as appalling as her raw meat dress or bubble costume, the singer adds her bit of surprise element to make it one!  Like she did with the jumpsuit she wore for the cover of a popular fashion magazine - a sheer black jumpsuit to make the point that she was 'born this way'.

Supermodel Tyra Banks flaunted a leather one at the recently held Teen Choice Awards. Other celebs include Paris Hilton, Jennifer Lopez, Gwyneth Paltrow and Rani Mukerjee. Back home, Priyanka Chopra and Anushka Sharma have scored well on fashion critics' charts as far as jumpsuits are concerned.
