First, Margot Robbie was spotted in Ibiza wearing a sheer black maxi dress with relaxed beach accessories. Then came Kylie Jenner, bold in leather and latex, followed by Jenna Ortega’s entire Wednesday press tour, where she fully embraced gothic glamour in all its forms.
Naturally, this summer’s all-black trend has won over Lady Gaga. The musician is back in New York for her sold-out Mayhem Ball shows at Madison Square Garden and recently visited the celebrity favorite Corner Store for dinner with her fiancé, Michael Polansky. Gaga wore a cropped Balenciaga blazer with strong, structured shoulders and a raw hem, layered over a form-fitting black Norma Kamali catsuit.
She completed the look with towering Balenciaga “Camden” boots featuring a sharp platform, goggle-style sunglasses from Port Tanger, and a mini Hermès Kelly bag.
This polished yet casual style fits perfectly with Lady Gaga’s current fashion identity—she has long been a fan of Balenciaga’s edgy tailoring and sculptural footwear. (Lately, she’s also been seen with another trendy accessory, the Lababu bag charm.) On stage, the final act of the Mayhem Ball leans into the darker, gothic side of her aesthetic. She’s worn latex pieces by London-based Japanese designer Atsuko Kudo and turned to British designer Gareth Pugh for vintage leather biker jackets, along with custom pieces like a Tom Knight “Born This Way” jacket and a State Fair patchwork leather waistcoat detailed with Mayhem branding. (Credit to La Maison Gaga for bringing these looks to life for her fans.)
Gaga also wore her engagement ring, designed by Sofia Jewelry. It features an oval-cut stone set on an 18-karat rose and white gold diamond-pavé band, accented with pink ombré diamonds and a hidden halo of white diamonds.
With more New York dates ahead, expect to see plenty of Gaga in her signature gothic leather and latex, both on and off stage—after all, this is truly a Mother Monster summer.
