For “Angel Down”, Lady Gaga revealed one of the most amazing outfits that showed true artisanal craftmanship and was made by some of the closest people to Gaga. Here’s what she wore.
Gaga’s beige distressed blazer and frayed skirt has been created by Lanotta Studio — a costume house owned by Haus of Gaga member Candace Lawrence.
Embellished with typewriter buttons, the look was co-created with the singer’s own little sister Natali Germanotta and hand-painted with Gaga’s song titles and lyrics by v2Bentley.
The tailoring on this look was done by Michael Velasquez.
She’s also wearing a customized version of this Gladys Tamez Millinery hat! Love, love, love the feathers and all the typewriter buttons.
Most of Lady Gaga’s 8 costume changes within the tour are big fan favourites and even outdid her previous tour costumes. One of them was this big ensemble fit for a queen.
The Italian-American singer sported a custom Michael Velasquez strong shoulder black velvet jumpsuit with single crystallized floral sleeve that she matched with a Viktor & Rolf asymmetrical leveled tulle ball skirt from the Spring/Summer 2018 bridal collection.
Her military-inspired black velvet ankle boots with chunky heel and lace-up front were custom created by Giuseppe Zanotti for the tour and were inspired by his Fall/Winter 2016 collection. Click here to check out his other custom boots for Gaga.
For this part of the show, all of Gaga’s dancers are wearing floral outfits custom created by Central Saint Martins alumni Richard Quinn.
Quinn, who won the H&M design award 2017, was inspired by his Fall/Winter 2016 RTW collection and used the floral prints on face masks, coats and catsuits. As you probably noticed, the fabric on Gaga’s catsuit above was created by Quinn as well.
Just like the costumes for the dancers, Richard Quinn designed this coat for Gaga based on his 2016 graduate collection.
Gaga’s oversized coat features a large pink rose print on a white background.
Lady Gaga broke the Internet when she debuted the Jonas Åkerlund-directed music video for her third surprise single ‘John Wayne’. Gaga previously performed the song during the Victoria’s Secret fashion show. The video, which carries a wild Western theme, turned quickly into a fan favorite and is filled to the (cowboy hat) brim with insane looks.
Stylist Kristtian Chévere gathered emerging designers for this project. Sarah Nicole Tanno did her glam while Frederic Aspiras was in charge of the hair.
Just like the other videos of the “Joanne” era, this music video picks off where the “Million Reasons” video ended.
We remember, Gaga wears a pink tailored suit that was custom-made for her in London by Alexander Lewis. The shoulders and back were hand-embroidered in homage to Johnny Carson, who’s Western shirts inspired the pattern.
Unlike in the ‘Million Reasons’ video, Gaga exchanged her Harvy Santos hat for the Lady Bianca custom pink felt hat by Gladys Tamez Millinery.
She’s wearing the Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps in pink patent leather.
In the next scene we can see Gaga riding wildly on the back of a cowboy’s horse.
She’s sporting a custom full-sleeved denim bodysuit with snap button front and leather waist belt by Michael Velasquez, who’s part of the tailoring team.
The studded red leather Daisy Duke boots are by The Frye Company. These feature a contrast black sole. Unfortunately they’re not available anymore.
Next up, we got the singer standing on the side of a road in a custom black leather asymmetric cut-out catsuit by Christian Cowan. He was kind enough to send me an exclusive sketch to me.
It’s based on the catsuit from his newest collection which was worn by the ANTM cast! She wore a crystal embellished thong underneath.
The Gladys Tamez Millinery Bianca makes another return, this time in black felt!
The black boots, which she’s rocking for several looks in the video, are the Aldo Antella over-the-knee boots.
For the first dance sequence, Gaga rocks the same black Aldo boots and a custom piece made by talented young designer brand WESLAH. This red fringed hand-laced lambskin jacket wasn’t the only thing he designed for her.
The top underneath is the Ice bra by UNIF. The triangle halter bra is entirely made from rhinestones.
Gaga’s distressed denim shorts were custom-made by Bryan Hearns.
Her ‘GAGA’ choker is a custom version of Italian label GCDS’ logo crystal choker. The team was kind enough to provide an exclusive photo of it just for us!
Driving around without any limits, Gaga wears the aforementioned Alexander Lewis suit paired with a cropped white rib tank top and Lauren Klassen’s silver Broken Scissor single earring!
The further we go into the video, the more colorful and crazier it gets. My favorite look got to be this custom masterpiece created by Alex Noble, who’s known for another fringe look worn in Gaga’s “Judas” video.
Made from bleached denim, the Denim Geisha boasts several layered capes which are all trimmed with pink fringes. The end of the sleeves were replaced with voluminious pink silk triangle balloon cuffs and long ribbons.
Noble says that he was inspired by Dolly Parton, Elvis, a Sci-Fi Space Cowboy and Gaga herself.
The interesting pair of boots are from Chloe Gosselin’s Fall/Winter 2016 collection. The Dianthus calf-high red suede boots feature an asymmetrical zipper.
For this scene, Gaga is sitting on the hood of the car while sporting a bustier entirely made from moulded vintage leather belts by Bryan Hearns.
Her custom crystal-embellished and fringe-trimmed black denim crop jacket and shorts are both by WESLAH.
The thigh-high (bullet-shooting) red latex platform boots are Pleaser’s Infinity 4000 boots.
For the final dance sequence, the singer is sporting a red tattoo print corset and matching corset shorts custom-made for her by Ricky King.
The corset, which can be used as a girdle as well, is made from old leather boots, which are laid flat and hand-painted all over again.
Her dancers are wearing custom jackets by L.A. Roxx.
Gaga wore black Western boots and a black large faux fur stole with her name in white, custom-made by Nicolas Wirth.
One of Brandon’s assistants made me notice a quite large star ring on her right hand. She’s wearing six rings by Cody Sanderson, one of them being the large star-shaped one seen above. One of her rings is also by The Great Frog.
Finally, we have Lady Gaga who apparently changed outfits while dying from a car crash. The singer rocks a black patent crocodile pattern embossed leather jacket with high neck, asymmetrical zipper and 3D-printed fibre sleeves from Alex Ulichny’s “Breed” collection.
Her black DL0233 metal aviator shades are from Diesel’s upcoming eyewear collection. The Aldo Antella boots make a return.
