Lady Gaga is switching up her style yet again. After months of oscillating between Old Hollywood glamour and her avant-garde roots, the singer-turned-actress chose a much subtler look, a strapless Christian Dior gown, for the SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s Patron of the Artists Awards on Thursday night. Gaga further simplified the look with her hair pulled back and some no-makeup makeup.
The singer’s fashion choices of late have gone hand in hand with her newfound movie-star status in the wake of the success of A Star Is Born. While promoting the film, Gaga’s style has remained eclectic and unpredictable, including everything from an Elizabethan-inspired Alexander McQueen gown to feathery Valentino couture (and lots and lots of velvet). Such choices on the red carpet have stayed in line with her signature risk-taking, while also furthering to cement her new status.
And yet the cream Dior gown is yet another departure—or maybe it’s just an evolutionary step. It’s easily among the the simplest looks she’s ever worn. Worn on almost any other Hollywood starlet, it might not even be noteworthy. On Gaga, however, muted tones speak volumes.

It should have come as no surprise that Gaga would pull out all the stops for the film’s Los Angeles premiere. But still: what she wore raised the red carpet bar. She stunned in a custom silver Givenchy Haute Couture gown with matching cape, along with Bulgari jewels. To say it had an Old Hollywood vibe is, at this point, unnecessary.

At last, the day of the premiere, with a full day of press leading up to it. She wore a velvet dress by Ralph & Russo to a press conference earlier in the day. The one-shoulder look is a continuation of Gaga’s love for classic textures and silhouettes.

There was maybe an hour between her red carpet arrival and the beginning of the film screening, and during that time, Gaga made time for a costume change—a glittering, strappy dress, which, in this context, counted as more casual. She even nodded to her Old Hollywood-inspired style by keeping the sequined pillbox hat and pinned-back curls from her earlier look.

A few days after Venice, Gaga arrived in Toronto for press obligations and the film’s premiere. At a Saturday night event hosted by Entertainment Weekly, she wore this slinky silver Armani Privé gown. Once again, no party or carpet is too small for Gaga’s closet of couture.

Gaga stunned at the film’s Venice premiere in a feather couture creation from Valentino. While Venice is no stranger to over-the-top fashion, Gaga created a new level of spectacle at the premiere of A Star Is Born. The gown, which stole the show when Kaia Gerber wore it on the runway in July, was elevated in its star-studded setting. And though it looks nothing like something Judy Garland would have worn, it was true to Gaga’s out-there fashion origins, proving that Lady Gaga, the actress, isn’t such a different person, after all.

Gaga made her Venice Film Festival arrival in style: sitting on the edge of a boat, wearing a black Jonathan Simkhai dress. Her pinup hair and makeup, along with the corset style of the dress, was a fair warning to all of us that she was prepared to show the world that not only could she play the role of a classic movie star, she could very well look the part, too.

Gaga wore a Ralph & Russo gown for the film’s Toronto after-party. Many of the actress’s press looks have been pulled from couture shows, which most celebrities will save for larger events like the Oscars. For Gaga, though, putting on a couture gown as her fourth look of the day for a post-screening red carpet is all part of the movie-star gig.
