Lady Gaga swept the U.K.'sBRIT Awards Tuesday, winning in three categories and paying a touching tribute to Alexander McQueen, the famed British fashion designer who died last week.

According to the AP, Gaga collected awards for best international female artist, best international breakthrough act and best international album for "The Fame."

The eccentric Gaga performed at the ceremony wearing a towering white wig and lace veil - complete with elaborate lace eyebrows.

Picking up the award for best album, a tearful Gaga said, "I was really excited to win the first two awards. This award means even more to me because I worked so hard on this album for so long.

"My fans were the first people to believe in me. Thank you so much."

Gaga, a friend of McQueen, recently wore McQueen's iconic lobster-claw shoes in her "Bad Romance" music video. She paid tribute to the designer as she collected her first award - referring to him by his given name Lee.

"Thank you to Lee McQueen," she said.

The awards are the British equivalent of the Grammys, with most winners selected by a vote of more than 1,000 industry members.
