THE INSIDE STORY
LADY GAGA
IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT WHEN IT COMES TO STYLE
It was always going to be a big night for her fans, but Lady Gaga made sure the premiere of her new concert film was a bumper event.
The singer well and truly put her love of experimental fashion in top gear at the Los Angeles opening of Gaga Chromatica Ball, wearing a sculptural creation by Argentinian designer Selva Huygens (left).
Sharing images of the dress on Instagram, she told fans: “On the red carpet I told them it was a car part. They said what kind and I said I don’t know, I’m not a mechanic.”
She is, of course, a fashion icon and to prove it, Gaga, 38, had a surprise for those disappointed by her Met Gala no-show this year.
For the Q&A that followed the film (right), she changed into the Victorian-style Aziz dress, paired with a black Philip Treacy mask with poison ivy-inspired lace detailing, she would have worn for the event.
She also opened up about why she had chosen to make the film, which chronicles her performance at L A’s Dodger Stadium during her 2022 Chromatica Ball tour. “I felt like [it] was a time where I took myself to the next level and it was something worth documenting and seeing for people that I love,” she said.
And she has promised yet another gear change for her follow-up album, which she is currently working on, saying: “I love to break genre and I love to explore music.”
