Ariel meets Harley Quinn.
Lady Gaga's Joker: Folie à Deux press run has officially come to a head—One covered in bright red Little Mermaid hair, that is. The movie had its Los Angeles premiere at the at the TCL Chinese Theatre on September 30, and Gaga arrived in a bold take on Hollywood glamour.
The pop star opted for a little black dress from Celine by Hedi Slimane, though, it wasn't your average LBD. The gown featured dramatic, satin shoulders with delicate ruffles that extended towards Gaga's back in a cape, adding a witch-y, bat-like quality to the dress. The rest of the silhouette was fitted and featured a slit up the side that allowed Gaga's signature patent leather platform boots to peek through.
Gaga elevated the look with accessories, and was dripped out in jewelry from Tiffany & Co.’sSchlumberger Vigne necklace, which “features a suite of oval rubellites of over 330 total carats, oval cabochon emeralds of over 50 total carats and round brilliant diamonds of over 10 total carats—all intertwined by intricate 18k yellow gold “vines,” according to the website. Her hair channeled both her Joker character Harley Quinn and Ariel from The Little Mermaid in vibrant red, voluminous waves with an Old Hollywood-inspired side part. Her eyebrows were bleached a bright blonde for an editorial edge.
As much as Gaga has embraced Harley Quinn during the Joker press tour, she explained that it was in her best interest the leave the character at home. “I always tried every night that I went home to leave Harley at work,” Gaga told E! News. “We would make dinner every night after filming. I tried for sure. But sometimes, the darkness of the movie would stay with me, or sometimes the scene can stay with you. The character tries to creep in all serious ways, but I really tried to drop it.”
