Lady Gaga showed off her eclectic fashion sense on Monday as she channeled her character Harley Quinn at The Joker: Folie à Deux premiere in Los Angeles.
The 38-year-old entertainer stars in the forthcoming project alongside Joaquin Phoenix, 49, who joined her on the red carpet.
Gaga, whose birth name is Stefani Germanotta, stars as Harley opposite Joaquin’s Joker in the psychological thriller.
The movie serves as a follow-up to Phoenix’s 2019 box office hit, which was simply тιтled Joker.
The Todd Phillips-directed musical is due in theaters on October 4, following an October 2 international release.
For Monday evening’s appearance in Hollywood at TCL Chinese Theatre, Lady Gaga turned heads in a black gown with billowing, satin, short sleeves.
She rocked bleached eyebrows and sported a red wig as she graced the red carpet solo.
One month before the sequel’s release date, Joaquin praised Lady Gaga for her ‘impressive’ preparation for the feature film.
During a Venice Film Festival press conference in which he discussed shedding pounds for Joker, he added: ‘Stefani also lost a lot of weight.
‘I remember when I first met you in rehearsals and then you went away for like a month and then you came back, you lost a lot of weight.’
He continued, ‘It was really impressive. It seemed very difficult.’
Gaga agreed, ‘I think we transformed into our characters over a period of time and we continued to hone in every kind of detail.’
She plays a music therapist at Arkham Asylum in The Joker and said: ‘We rehearsed the waltz in the film for two months which kind of falls apart.’
Phoenix noted about the musical aspect: ‘Part of the joy for me was to take standards and find a way that was specific to the characters.
‘That was part of what was interesting for us. We started off with references like Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr and we started to emulate that sound.’
