FASHION CREDITS: LADY GAGA FOR BRITISH & ITALIAN VOGUE

Lady Gaga is simultaneously the December cover star of the British Vogue and Italian Vogue! She was lensed by famed photographer Steven Meisel. British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful, who styled Gaga’s spread, said he wanted to dress her in “something fabulous”. Mission accomplished!

Makeup by the legendary Pat McGrath, hair by Guido Palau with coloring by Ryuta Sayama, manicure by Jin Soon Choi, respectively.

On the first of two covers, the Italian-American superstar poses fiercely in a look from Schiaparelli’s Fall/Winter 2021 collection titled “The Matador”.

Strapless dress in wool crêpe with a plunging heart-shaped neckline. Entirely lined with a pleated silk made by hand for an exaggerated bubbled volume effect that redefines the dimensions of the silhouette.

“For two years, I’ve been saying that I didn’t care about nostalgia. This season, though, it’s where it all started. I found myself wondering, again and again: What if you combined a little Manet; a little Lacroix; a little 1980s; a little 1880s; a little matador; a little space alien; a little Ingres; a little shimmer; a lot of color? Could I do it? And what would it look like?” Daniel Roseberry said.

Her Multiplication yellow-gold, platinum and diamond flower clip-on earrings ($25,000) belong to the “Schlumberger” collection of Tiffany & Co.

French luxury jeweller Boucheron provided a handful of stunning jewelry for this editorial. On the cover we can spot the Serpent Bohème with 23 motifs entirely covered in brilliant diamonds. It’s valued at $222,000.

I had to pick up my jaw multiple times after seeing Gaga wear one of my most desired pieces from this couture season.

Also from the aforementioned Schiaparelli collection: fitted basque jacket with exaggerated arms in various Mikado silks, satin, and faille weaves. Underneath, yellow moiré bodysuit with bejeweled crotch, and bi-colored bejeweled crotch stir-up pants.

The embroidery techniques, done by Lesage, are inspired by the Schiaparelli archives and include traditional volute in gold strass, gold pearls, rhinestones, lurex thread, multicolored thread embroidery in ochre silk faille, embroidered with gold thread spindle stretch lambskin in bi-colored lamé and black.

The fashion mogul paired the look with a lace-trimmed Spanish ruff collar from costume retailer Angels Fancy Dress…

…and white lace gloves by Wing & Weft Gloves which she layered with the Maya delicate ivory nylon scallop chantilly valencienne lace cuffs adorned with a bee-shaped jewel (£225) by emerging designer Azima Musayeva!

A stunning cocktail ring was worn on each finger. 

First row: Cartier Panthere Caline ring crafted from pink gold, emerald, diamond and onyx, the panther coils around the cabochon-cut rubellite – the stone suggesting an indistinguishable flame, the fiery colour of passion – and weighs an impressive 14.89 carats. Stacked above is the De Beers Aella oval-shaped diamond ring and next to it one of Bvlgari’s Serpenti rose-gold diamond rings.

Second row: two of them, the Serpent Bohème L motif yellow-gold diamond ring ($‌22,750) and Plume de Paon large feather ring ($‌20,550) are by Boucheron while Buccellati made the flower-shaped Opera ring composed of fans and garlands in white-gold set with diamonds, laterally “rigato” engraved, centering an octagonal white-gold leaf-modeled bezel set with a diamond.

Another ring of hers is from Chopard’s “Animal World” collection.

To complete the look, she wore Pure Matte 20 black knee-high socks ($16) by FALKE…

… and the Schiaparelli black satin pumps with silk-faille bows adorned with trompe-l'œil gold metal toes bearing silver toenails.

In this next shot Gaga looks majestic wearing the voluminious tip-dyed ruffled tulle top and pants from Japanese designer Tomo Koizumi’s Fall/Winter 2021 Haute Couture collection…

…which she crowned with a pearl-embellished silver metal fabergé cage headpiece with integral ehadband from the archival Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2013 collection we’ve talked about before.

Luxury glovemaker Paula Rowan created the Montserrat pink leather opera-length gloves ($432). Available in tons of colors!

These two looks are both from Valentino’s Fall/Winter 2021 “Valentino Des Atelier” Haute Couture collection.

First one is the bubblegum pink-colored silk-faille hooded sleeveless column gown and off-the-shoulder opera coat. The second one is a 60s-inspired conical pink knitted cape mini dress. J’adoreeeee!

For this vintage Italian movie star-inspired look, Gaga posed in this Chanel Fall/Winter 2021 Haute Couture black bonded silk gown with ruffled shoulders, slit paneled skirt revealing white fringed silk organza underlayer and satin bows.

She also wears high joaillerie by Graff and the Brigitte suede leather gloves with folded detail by Paula Rowan ($561).

My little fashion heart is filled with pure joy seeing how this editorial is filled to the brim with all the couture looks I wanted, wished and needed to see Gaga in before I rest myself down.

Here, she wears the Balenciaga silk-shantung coat embroidered with faux feathers by Maison Lemarié, the glossy lacquer dome hat created for the collection by Philip Treacy, and Swarovski crystal & resin-pearl statement earrings, all from the Fall/Winter 2021 Haute Couture collection.

On her index finger we can spot the Mikimoto Circle white-gold, diamond and pearl ring ($40,000). Her ring finger carries a large platinum and diamond cocktail ring from Cartier’s “Fauna and Flora” collection.

For the penultimate look, the Italian-American beauty is clad in one of the final pieces from Pieter Mullier’s debut for Alaïa’s Spring/Summer 2022 collection: a sleeveless, fitted white jersey foam gown with structured shoulders, mock-neck and semi-transparent curved side panels.

Her white cotton balaclava with vinyl mask and Velcro strap closure was custom-made for our girl by milliner extraordinaire Noel Stewart.

Last but definitely not least, a black velvet long-sleeved cut-out detail dress with mermaid tail skirt from the same Alaïa collection, paired with a fine lace cape from the stylist’s archive.

Talking of lace! The incredible hooded catsuit, Gagaloo wore underneath the smooth beauty, is from the Fall/Winter 2020 “Rebel of the Future” collection of emerging designer Sarah Regensburger.

She crowned the look with with a custom Philip Treacy black feather showgirl headpiece based on an archival design.

Her wrist-length black lace gloves are by Wing & Weft Gloves.

Now, the jewelry. She wore a haute joaillerie grand moonstone, black-spinel, aluminium and white-gold necklace from Chopard’s “Fleur d'Opales” capsule collection which was layered on top of a jet beaded choker and necklaces from Angels Fancy Dress.

Lisa Eisner Jewelry created both her Wyoming black jade scarab ring with polished bronze, and the square-shaped black jade cocktail ring which was made in collaboration with Tom Ford for his 2015 collection.

Her other orbit-like gold flower ring is from Dior’s Fall/Winter 2021 Haute Couture collection.
