Lady Gaga stole the spotlight on the red carpet in London, accompanied by her beloved fiancé, Michael Polansky, on September 25th, as they graced the premiere of their upcoming film masterpiece, Joker: Folie à Deux. Gaga, the sensational singer behind "Die With a Smile," donned a stunning, floor-sweeping red gown, tailor-made by Celine's visionary designer, Hedi Slimane. The ensemble was a testament to her unwavering fashion prowess.
Her makeup artistry perfectly mirrored her transformative role as Harley Quinn in Joker: Folie à Deux, capturing the essence of a mischievous harlequin performer. Vibrant turquoise eyeshadow adorned with sparkling sequins and a gleaming teardrop adorning one eye complemented her gown's fiery hue, while her lips matched the deep red of her attire. Gaga's hair was styled into a striking dark red bob with a bold fringe, adding a touch of edginess to her already captivating look.
Throughout the evening, Gaga couldn't help but shower her fiancé with affection, reminding everyone of their sweet engagement earlier this year after a thrilling day of rock climbing. The Academy Award-winning superstar stars alongside Joaquin Phoenix in this thrilling sequel to the 2019 box office hit, Joker, helmed once again by the visionary director, Todd Phillips. Phoenix reprises his iconic role alongside Gaga's Harley Quinn, exploring the depths of shared delusions and psychosis in Folie à Deux.
