Lady Gaga is creating a buzz in Italy.
The actress turned heads at the 2024 Venice Film Festival on Thursday, making a grand entrance at the premiere of her upcoming film, *Joker: Folie à Deux*, in show-stopping fashion.
Gaga, born Stefani Germanotta, stunned in a black velvet Dior Haute Couture gown featuring a plunging neckline and an expansive skirt with intricate pick-ups. She paired the dress with Giuseppe Zanotti platform boots and a dramatic Philip Treacy headpiece that evoked a gothic flair with horn-like peaks and a lace veil that dramatically draped in front of her eyes.
Fans were captivated by her look, with one commenting on Check the Tag’s Instagram page, “Of course—sheer magnificence and just the right amount of elegant theatricality. Utter perfection. 🖤🖤🖤”
“Trust her to bring the DRAMA 🖤,” another fan wrote, while a third added, “Yup, this is a slay. Very few can pull this off without it looking clownish or gimmicky. But Lady G makes it look like art.”
The *A Star Is Born* actress, 38, maintained a sultry appearance with deep red lipstick and smoky eyeshadow, complementing her newly platinum blond hair. She dazzled further with Tiffany & Co. jewelry, including a massive diamond necklace featuring an 8-carat marquise diamond and 896 round brilliant diamonds totaling over 22 carats. This necklace was previously worn by Dua Lipa at the 2024 Met Gala.
Gaga also wore spiked diamond earrings and a cluster diamond bracelet, all from Tiffany & Co. She completed her look with her significant engagement ring from fiancé Michael Polansky, which she has been proudly displaying throughout the festival.
The couple made a charming entrance via boat, sharing affectionate moments before Gaga adorned her dramatic headpiece. Reports indicate that Polansky, 46, proposed before Gaga’s birthday in March, but the engagement remained under wraps until April, when she was first seen with the impressive ring. Experts estimate that the oval-cut solitaire, likely over 10 carats, could be valued around $1 million.
