Lady Gaga turned a simple hot-wing challenge into a high-fashion moment. The superstar appeared on the latest episode of Hot Ones.
She sported an avant-garde outfit by Thom Browne, and fans are buzzing about it.
LADY GAGA ON ‘HOT ONES’
Lady Gaga is currently promoting her new album Mayhem, due to be released on 7 March, according to Page Six.
She stunned viewers in a version of look 44 from Browne’s Fall 2024 couture collection. Instead of the runway dress, Gaga opted for a nude lace bra, pairing it with a white maxi skirt.
A spray of floral sculptural pieces immobilised her right arm. The flowers stemmed from her rib cage, over her shoulder and down her back.
LADY GAGA AGAINST THE WINGS
Despite the couture constraints, Lady Gaga didn’t back down from the chicken wing challenge. She started strong, reacting with words like “yummy” and “gorgeous”.
Things took a turn when she reached wing number eight. She rolled her eyes and exclaimed, “Oh!”, by wing number 10, she questioned, “Is this safe?!”.
Her devoted fans instantly loved Gaga’s return to her over-the-top fashion sensibility, according to WWD.
FANS CAN’T GET ENOUGH
One person exclaimed on X (formerly Twitter): “THIS DIVA WEARING THIS THOM BROWNE COUTURE 2024 LOOK JUST TO EAT HOT WINGS ???”.
Another fan wrote, “Gaga wearing custom Thom Browne haute couture and looking like a Greek goddess just to eat wings, we are so back”.
Lady Gaga also got candid with host Sean Evans as he asked her when she came closest to walking away from her career.
REFLECTIONS ON HER CAREER
“That is an incredibly deep question to ask me in this panic mode,” Gaga responded, struggling with the hot wings.
She admitted, “I missed the community that I had in New York, and that was hard”. This referred to her early days performing in the city, according to IMDB.
“There were times where I felt like maybe I should walk away,” Gaga noted.
But she added, “I know for sure that I never would. I would say that I was tested, and I always didn’t give up. And I’m still doing it, so it must mean I want to do it”.
Gaga’s willingness to be vulnerable resonated with many. It showed a different side to the often-outlandish persona.
A FASHION STATEMENT
Her fashion choices, while sometimes shocking, are always a statement.
They encourage people to be themselves, no matter what others think. This message is particularly powerful in a society that has historically enforced conformity.
Local fans took to social media to express their delight. Many praised her daring fashion sense. Others admired her resilience in the face of the Hot Ones challenge.
While Lady Gaga’s Thom Browne outfit is undoubtedly stunning, it’s also incredibly expensive. Couture pieces like this can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
FASHION CHOICES
Although the exact price of Gaga’s outfit isn’t public, similar Thom Browne couture creations could easily cost upwards of R10 million.
For most South Africans, that’s an unimaginable sum of money. However, Gaga’s fashion choices are more about artistry and expression than practicality.
Lady Gaga’s Hot Ones appearance was more than just a celebrity interview. It was a reminder that fashion can be fun, fearless, and deeply personal.
