Lady Gaga has returned to the news after filtering her images together with Joaquin Phoenix characterized as Harley Quinn and Joker for the second installment of the film that led the actor to his first Oscar in 2020. The artist has reproduced the mythical dance on the steps with movie-worthy costumes and makeup.
Gaga has always been famous for her eccentric and bizarre looks. Since she became known in 2008, with her debut album 'The Fame', each appearance of her on a red carpet or in a video clip of the singer became an ode to her extravagance. A style that in recent years has relaxed and metamorphosed into a more realistic and less artistic aesthetic.
Since she released her first album, The Fame, Gaga's performances were characterized by 'performances' and she boasted of manipulating her image at will. Proof of this were the wigs, the eyelash extensions and she was even one of the first artists to dye her eyebrows in colors, a trend that was rescued, among others, by the singer Rosalía.
Gaga confessed in an interview with journalist Howard Stern that she had become addicted to facial retouching. "I went through a phase where I was smoking weed all the time when I was really obsessed with facial injections... Now it's all gone. Before shooting the 'Applause' video a photographer friend said to me, 'Gaga, you Master, but if you don't stop injecting yourself in your face, I'm going to kill you."
Despite the fact that she claimed to have stopped retouching in 2013, Lady Gaga's lips, visibly fuller over the years, were the center of debate among experts.
Lady Gaga's transformation as a country diva with the arrival of Joanne (2016) not only meant a setback in her musical style but also in her aesthetics. Her pink suit and wide-brimmed hat buried the lights and shadows of her old self.
