Did YOU spot them? Eagle-eyed fashion fan highlights secret details in Lady Gaga's Super Bowl outfit that he believes serve as subtle signs of her support for the LGBT community
- A fashion fan noticed an intriguing detail in Lady Gaga's Super Bowl make-up
- The singer had sparkly triangular shapes drawn around each of her eyes
- Fan thought it was similar to her make-up during a 2010 show with Elton John
- During that 2010 performance, Gaga wore pink triangles around her eyes
- The pink triangle has been reclaimed as an LGBT pride symbol but was first used in Nazi concentration camps
An observant fashion fan has found a potential hidden meaning in Lady Gaga's Super Bowl outfit and believes the singer took a subtle stance for gay rights during her performance.
The singer had glittery triangular shapes drawn around each of her eyes during Sunday's half-time show. That detail called to mind another costume worn by Gaga during her 2010 Grammy's performance, which included two pink triangles going from her eyebrows to her cheeks, fashion writer Landon Peoples noted on Refinery29 Monday.
The pink triangle has been used as a symbol of LGBT pride, but it has far darker origins and was first used on gay inmates inside Nazi concentration camps. The LGBT community reclaimed the symbol in the 1970s.

Gaga included two pink triangles in her 2010 Grammy's costume - presumably as a sign of support for gay rights, for which she has been a strong advocate.
That year's show culminated with her singing Speechless and Your Song during a duet with Elton John, who wore sparkly glasses and a single dangling earring.
Gaga also showcased a pink triangle at the beginning of the video for Born This Way, the LGBT anthem she debuted later in 2010 at the MTV Video Music Awards.
Peoples found the resemblance between Gaga's 2010 costume and her Super Bowl make-up to be striking, and took it as a nod to gay rights.
The shapes she wore Sunday night aren't exact triangles, but they spread from her eyebrows to her cheekbones, not unlike her Grammy's make-up. In both instances, the triangles were made out of glitter.
That wasn't the only detail Peoples noticed. Gaga's dancers at Houston's NRG Stadium wore costumes with touches of purple, a color often associated with LGBT pride.
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation chose it as the color to wear during Spirit Day, during which people campaign against bullying of LGBT youth.

Gaga, who sang Born This Way as part of her Super Bowl show, said before Sunday's game that her concert would support values such as inclusion and compassion.
'The only statements that'll be making during the halftime show are the ones that I have been consistently making throughout my career,' the singer said. 'I believe in a passion for inclusion. I believe in the spirit of equality and the spirit of this country. It's one of love and compassion and kindness. So my performance will uphold those philosophies.'
She also paid tribute to her fans in a heartfelt Instagram post.
'I dedicate every second to the love, diversity, compassion, and wild spirit of our fan base. To that kid who felt unwanted, or the grown up who remembers how hard it was to find acceptance. This is for you,' she wrote.
'It is also for those whose hearts and minds have opened to our message. Thank you for believing in us so we could be here today little monsters this is YOUR stage. And I'm gonna leave my heart on it so you never forget it. Let's do this.'
Gaga also sang Woody Guthrie's This Land Is Your Land during her Super Bowl concert, which many took as a stance against President Donald Trump's anti-immigration policies.
