Gaga channeled the many faces of David Bowie during her tribute to the singer at today’s Grammy Awards.

She also appeared in another promotional clip after the tribute discussing how Intel’s technology had helped her performance.

David Bowie influenced so many various trends in music and fashion that we shall be grateful to him forever.
Taking to the red carpet, the 29-year-old donned a floor-length blue coat over… well, not much else.
