Did Lady Gaga steal her look from Irish electro ice-maiden Roisin Murphy?

According to Murphy who told the Irish Central that Lady Gaga did copied her style. Pictures show via courtesy of Idolator, a solid evidence that supports what Murphy has said.

Who are this two anyway?

Róisín Marie Murphy born 5 July 1973 is an Irish singer-songwriter and music producer, known for her electronica style.

Murphy first came to note as part of the electronic music duo Moloko. Murphy was brought up in Arklow, County Wicklow, Republic of Ireland. When she was twelve, her family moved to Manchester in England. Murphy embraced 1960s fashions from going with her mother, an antique dealer, to car boot sales and charity shops. She concealed her singing voice, not wanting other people to know she "sounded like Elaine Paige" when she herself enjoyed listening to the likes of Sonic Youth and The Pixies instead.

On the other hand, Lady Gaga is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (born March 28, 1986, is an American recording artist. She began playing in clubs in the New York City area while also working at Interscope Records as a songwriter for several established acts, including Akon who, after hearing Gaga sing, convinced Interscope Records chairman Jimmy Iovine to sign her to a joint deal with the label and Akon's Kon Live Distribution label.

Musically, she is inspired by glam rockers such as David Bowie and Queen, as well as pop singers such as Michael Jackson and Madonna.

Whatever the controversy among them, they are still different.
