Lady Gaga kicked off her big night at the MTV Video Music Awards in refined style: she wore the same red and gold Alexander McQueen gown that she sported in her recent Vanity Fair shoot, topped off with a mohawk made of feathers. Gaga’s up for a record 13 Moonmen at the show — which means we’re in for a potential record number of costume changes. Check out the beginning of the Gaga fashion parade below, where we’ve got the first pics from the MTV white carpet.

Gaga walked down the carpet escorted by one member of each of the armed forces. Guess that means she’s ready to storm the castle tonight. What do you think of her entrance?
