Lady Gaga To Be Honored With Stylemaker Award

By Jocelyn Vena (MTV.com)

Lady Gaga has left her mark on the fashion world thanks to her fashion-forward and sometimes kooky sense of style. She definitely knows how to stand out in a crowd. And come next week, she'll be an official Stylemaker.

On Monday night, Gaga will be honored by her good friend and uber-designer Marc Jacobs with the Stylemaker Award at the 13th annual Accessories Council Excellence Awards. The ACE Awards will be held at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City and will also honor design icon Diane von Furstenberg with the Accessory Visionary Award, Barbie as a Fashion Icon, and British fashion house Burberry as Brand of the Year.

According to UsMagazine.com, ACE President Karen Giberson released a statement saying, "[Gaga is] well-appointed in accessories. Just when you thought you saw everything in originality, there she is again. People anticipate what she's going to wear, and it's exciting to see accessories as such a meaningful part of someone's wardrobe."

Jacobs won't be the only A-lister there handing out awards. Other presenters for the night include Calvin Klein, Betsey Johnson, Nina Garcia, Molly Sims and Gossip Girl costume designer Eric Daman.

Last month, celebrity stylist Robert Verdi, who will be hosting the event on Monday, spoke to MTV News about Gaga's sense of style. "I actually love her," he said. "I think there have been these moments in the canon of fashion history and music history that have been very important and are marked by Cher, Madonna and now Lady Gaga."
