As the host of Extra, Maria Menounos spends her days talking about other stars in the spotlight.
But on Saturday night, it was clear that she was ready for her time to shine.
The 34-year-old arrived to the 2013 GLAAD Awards in Los Angeles wearing a couture piece worthy of Lady Gaga.

A futuristic, three-dimensional black collar stood up around the television personality's neck.
Similarly, the dress took shoulder pads to a new level.
The white corners of Maria's dress stood several inches above her actual shoulders.

Balancing out the volume of the top half of her black and white dress, the bodice flowed to the floor.
Clinging close to her body was a mini skirt under the sheer overlay, allowing her toned, long legs to be on display.
Ankle-strap, peep-toe black heels and a silver ashlyn'd clutch rounded out the host-turned-author's Back To The Future look.

Sharing her love for her outfit, Maria tweeted a picture of herself, giving credit to Dana Rebecca and Grazie LA Gems for her jewelry.
She also gave a shout out to Greymer for her shoes and Ilja Couture for her dress - who, coincidentally, also designed a dress for Lady Gaga.
Gaga's dress also had the 3-D shoulders and collar, as well as the low-high hem of the gown.
