Lady Gaga has returned to her natural state: platinum blonde hair. Yes, after a brief flirtation with the dark side (brunette, gasp!), the 38-year-old superstar has decided that blondes do, in fact, have more fun. Or maybe she just realized that blonde hair pairs better with sunglasses and polka dots. Who’s to say?
The hair color transformation took place just in time for the 2024 Venice Film Festival, where Gaga will be gracing the red carpet, probably blinding people with the sheer luminosity of her locks. Fans and fashion critics alike were on the edge of their seats wondering, “Will she stick with brunette? Or was this just a phase, like that time we all wore neon in middle school?”
Gaga, always the fashion icon, strutted through Marco Polo Airport like it was her personal runway, holding hands with fiancé Michael Polansky. They hopped into a water taxi (because in Venice, that’s basically the Uber XL) to continue their glamorous journey. Gaga dazzled in a black-and-white polka dot dress, while Michael went for the classic “I’m with Gaga” all-black look. And let’s be honest, he wore it well—because when you’re dating Lady Gaga, anything you wear is just a side note.
But wait, there’s more! Gaga isn’t just showing up to Venice to look fabulous. No, no. She’s premiering her latest film Joker: Folie à Deux this Thursday, where she’s playing none other than the queen of crazy herself—Harley Quinn. That’s right, Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix are about to deliver a sequel so intense, you might forget how to blink.
Mark your calendars, because Joker: Folie à Deux will hit theaters on October 4, and judging by Gaga’s hair transformation alone, we’re in for one wild ride. Whether she’s blonde, brunette, or sporting a wig made entirely of feathers, one thing’s for sure: Gaga is back, and she’s about to steal the show—again.
