Lady Gaga Named Fashion Icon at 2011 CFDA Awards

It's safe to say that Lady Gaga's fashion sense is an acquired taste. You either love it or you hate it.

Well, the 10th Annual Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards were held tonight in Alice Tully Hall at NYC's Lincoln Center, and it seems like they love her style.

In fact, the CFDA loves it so much, that they presented her with the Fashion Icon Award for 2011.

"Fashion made me feel like a star before I was," Gaga said during her acceptance speech.

But she wasn't the only winner of the night, check out who else got acknowledged for their savvy sartorial sensibilities:
