NEW YORK, Nov. 23, 2011 -- Lady Gaga looks stunning in her Thanksgiving Evening Special on ABC, November 24th at 9:30 p.m.  Her sophisticated and elegant look was made complete by wearing jewelry by the well-known designer, Rodrigo Otazu.

As Rodrigo describes, "When I was designing these pieces for Gaga, I was thinking about being different, being oneself and not afraid to stand up for who you are. That is Gaga to me. I feel a real affinity for who she is, so it is simple for me to design for her, to give her something special, like she is!"

Rodrigo continues: "Gaga is so many women in one. She is Outrageous. She is Different.  She is also the Classic Performer, the Hollywood Beauty and the Girl Next Door. So it is always exciting to design for her.  I want my jewelry to be like Gaga in that I want it to lead, not follow. How lucky I am to be a designer of jewelry, to help women feel beautiful. I love it that my designs allow a wearer to be unique, to be special."
