Lady Gaga, a queen of committing to a look, has brought her signature flair to her new role as Harley Quinn. At the London premiere of ‘Joker: Folie à Deux,’ she arrived in a fiery red ensemble that perfectly embodied the character’s iconic style.
Gaga’s choice of a custom-made Celine sculptural bolero jacket and sweeping gown, adorned with Tiffany & Co. jewels, was a bold statement. But it was her hair and makeup that truly transformed her into Harley Quinn. The black-and-red Frederic Aspiras wig, reminiscent of the one she wore on her Vogue cover, and Sarah Tanno’s artful teardrop makeup, evoked the slightly clown-like features that both the Joker and Harley are known for in the DC universe.
This embrace of method dressing is becoming increasingly popular among celebrities. Margot Robbie’s Barbie looks are a prime example, and Jenna Ortega recently took a similar approach while promoting ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.’ Even Zendaya’s wardrobe for her ‘Challengers’ tour falls into this category.
Gaga’s commitment to the character is evident in her choice of a dramatic, glamorous look. She’s not afraid to push boundaries and embrace the quirkiness of the role, proving that she’s more than ready to take on the challenge of playing Harley Quinn. Monsters, she is back, and she’s ready to rock!
