We're so often focused on Lady Gaga's over-the-top statement looks (usually finished with sky-high platform boots) that we forget about her more relaxed street style peppered in between. "Relaxed?" you might be thinking to yourself, as iconic outfits like the meat dress and her Swarovski covered Versace bodysuit pop into your head. But we aren't kidding.

The singer and A Star Is Born actress famously switched gears and wore jeans and a t-shirt with the release of her Joanne album, opting for simplicity at its finest. And while we're sure Gaga's biggest closet is home to her outrageous stompers with knife-like heels, she obviously makes room for sexy pumps and trendy boots of the moment, too, because she wears them when you might not be looking.

Ahead, we rounded up some of our favorite picks from Gaga's wardrobe in the past couple of years and provided you with similar options that are just wild enough.

PVC Stilettos

Lady Gaga styled her Marc Jacobs dress with these crystal-adorned PVC heels for an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.

Studded Ankle Boots

Gaga's studded bootie has that too-cool-for-school sass about it, complete with a silver metal plate and lace-up detailing. She wore these with a jumper dress, folded over to put her long-sleeved crop top on full display and coordinated with a Gucci purse.

Red Power Booties

While Lady Gaga has definitely worn her fair share of "insane" spiked red boots, these lace-up platforms with a sturdy heel and buckle at the ankle are a tad more relaxed, especially when worn with an electrifying metallic dress and tights. We love that she used them to accent the romantic flower in her hat for an outing in London.
