Lady Gaga made a memorable entrance at the 2024 Venice Film Festival on September 4, stunning the crowd with her bold and glamorous look at the premiere of Joker: Folie à Deux. Accompanied by co-star Joaquin Phoenix, director Todd Phillips, and her fiancé Michael Polansky, the 38-year-old pop icon turned heads, as reported by PEOPLE.
Wearing a show-stopping black gown with a plunging neckline and voluminous skirt, Gaga commanded attention on the red carpet. However, it was her glittering lace headpiece that truly stole the spotlight. The headpiece, which featured two dramatic points and covered her eyes, added an air of mystery and extravagance to her ensemble, perfectly complementing her signature style. Gaga completed the look with Tiffany & Co jewelry and her iconic platform boots, making her the undisputed star of the evening.
In Joker: Folie à Deux, Lady Gaga portrays Harley Quinn, a role that she is redefining in her own unique way. Speaking to Access Hollywood earlier in the year, she teased her take on the character. “My version of Harley is mine, and it’s very authentic to this movie and these characters,” she said. “I don’t want to give anything from the movie away. I think it’s really something you have to experience in the theater.”
The highly anticipated sequel to the 2019 Joker is expected to be a mix of music, dance, and intense performances. Gaga herself hinted at the film’s creative approach, saying, “This film has music, it has dance, it has amazing acting in it. I loved working with Joaquin, I loved working with Todd. What I will say is that I’ve never done anything like I’ve done in this movie before, so it’s all going to be completely brand new and really fun.”
Gaga’s dazzling appearance at the Venice Film Festival comes after another unforgettable performance earlier this year at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she headlined the Opening Ceremony with a lavish Dior Haute Couture ensemble. Known for her bold fashion statements, Gaga once again left fans and fashion enthusiasts in awe with her striking look in Venice.
Social media quickly lit up with praise for her daring ensemble. One user wrote, “Lady Gaga always knows how to make a statement! That headpiece at #Venice2024 is pure artistry. Can’t wait to see her in Joker: Folie à Deux“, told The Mirror. Another fan added, “Lady Gaga looks gorgeous! Classic, but uniquely Gaga. One of her best looks ever, if not the best.”
As always, Lady Gaga continues to push the boundaries of fashion and performance, with her dramatic Venice appearance setting the internet ablaze. Fans eagerly await her next role in Joker: Folie à Deux, where her portrayal of Harley Quinn is sure to be just as captivating as her red-carpet presence.
