Alumna Styled Lady Gaga for Inauguration
As a part of the House of Gaga, Sandra Amador worked on creating Lady Gaga’s style for Inauguration Day. Amador, who is a UCEAP Madrid alumna, told Vogue magazine they wanted the singer to look “strong, romantic, and timeless.” When Lady Gaga performed the national anthem, her ensemble included a large, gold dove brooch as a symbol of harmony. “The dove, which represents love and peace, was our biggest inspiration,” Amador told Vogue. The 2010 UC Los Angeles graduate has been Lady Gaga’s personal stylist since 2015.
