Lady Gaga, known for her outlandish hair colors and avant-garde makeup in the early 2010s, has been embracing a more understated aesthetic in recent years. But at the London premiere of ‘Joker: Folie à Deux,’ she surprised everyone with a dramatic comeback to her signature ‘Artpop’ era style. This return to her roots was both shocking and undeniably Gaga.
Gaga, who plays Lee Quinzel (aka Harley Quinn) in the ‘Joker’ sequel, walked the red carpet in an extravagant red gown, paired with a voluminous, high-shouldered coat. Her cherry-red bob, perfectly complementing her attire, was styled in a sharp, chin-grazing length with a blunt fringe and bare brows. The bold red continued into Gaga’s makeup. Her lips were painted in a soft, understated red, but her eyes were the true statement piece. The makeup artist used a bright blue eyeshadow on the lids and a smoky black shadow on the lower lash line, with a darker, glittered black shadow below her right eye and a tear-shaped embellishment.
While Gaga has never shied away from experimenting with both bold and subtle beauty looks, this dramatic return to her ‘Artpop’ persona has many wondering if it signifies a more frequent embrace of her extravagant fashion choices in future public appearances. This bold move from Gaga is certainly a welcome surprise for fans who remember her iconic, outlandish fashion sense.
