Fans Stunned by Lady Gaga’s ‘Unrecognizable’ Look at ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ Premiere – Photos

Lady Gaga made a jaw-dropping entrance at the Los Angeles premiere of “Joker: Folie à Deux,” bringing a dash of her signature supervillain style to the red carpet at the TCL Chinese Theatre on Monday, September 30.

The multi-talented star, who takes on the role of Harley Quinn in the highly-anticipated sequel, embraced a bold look that left fans buzzing. Sporting fiery red hair and striking bleached brows, Gaga turned heads in a dramatic black cape dress that featured an attention-grabbing thigh-high slit.

The ensemble’s oversized, layered sleeves added a theatrical flair, complementing her character’s chaotic energy in the film. Adding to the wow factor, Gaga paired her outfit with a statement necklace in red, silver, and green, which contrasted vividly against her dark ensemble.

She completed her look with black stud earrings, a single bracelet, and a sleek ring, while six-inch platform heels gave the singer a commanding presence on the carpet. But it wasn’t just her outfit that stirred up conversation.

Fans quickly took to social media, noting that the award-winning singer looked almost unrecognizable. “Doesn’t look like Lady Gaga. Not at all,” remarked one observer. “She’s such a chameleon… I didn’t even recognize her,” echoed another. A third user even added, “I thought this was Marilyn Manson at first.”

As photos of the singer-turned-actress circulated online, some critics were also quick to point out that the Grammy winner had undergone cosmetic enhancements, sparking a lively debate.

“Love, love, love her! So talented, but too much filler, too much Botox!” wrote one observer, urging the singer to embrace her natural beauty. Another chimed in, “She’s ruining her beautiful face—now looking like a mask like all the celebs.”

The critiques didn’t stop there. As the chatter intensified, more harsh comments surfaced, with one user comparing her appearance to a “major construction project,” and another bluntly asking, “Why all the fillers when you don’t need it??? Unrecognizable!”

With her bleached brows and revamped look, reactions from fans were anything but subtle. Some expressed strong opinions about her appearance, with one person bluntly stating, “She is destroying her face 😮.”

Another echoed similar thoughts, noting, “Her face looks different.” But amid the sea of criticism, there were a few voices of support. “If anyone can pull off bleached eyebrows, it’s her. Her face looks divine here,” one user countered.

The recent wave of speculation surrounding Gaga’s changing facial features isn’t the first time she’s faced such scrutiny. In a 2011 interview, the singer firmly addressed similar rumors, setting the record straight about her stance on plastic surgery.

“I have never had plastic surgery, and there are many pop singers who have,” Gaga stated at the time. The “Born This Way” singer also took a strong stand against the culture of promoting insecurity through cosmetic enhancements, calling it “Infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification.”

Gaga’s portrayal of Harley in “Joker: Folie à Deux” is set to bring a new depth to the iconic character. The actress recently sat down with Jimmy Kimmel to discuss her dual projects: the upcoming movie and her newly released album, “Harlequin,” which ties in with her role.

Gaga revealed that the album was directly inspired by her character and serves as a deeply personal reflection on her life as a performer, noting that it addresses themes of dark times and the fleeting nature of happiness.

“It’s meant to be a really personal song about how sometimes we can go through dark times and feel like happiness is kind of an accident when it happens,” she said.

While “Harlequin” is closely linked to the film, she clarified that it wasn’t a traditional soundtrack. Instead, she described it as a concept record and a companion piece to the movie, meant to be an extension of the film’s world whether listeners experienced it before or after watching.

Gaga also discussed the challenges of portraying Harley, particularly in finding the character’s voice for the musical sequences. “Harley’s not a trained singer so I worked a lot on developing her voice and finding what was natural and raw to her,” she noted.

The singer explained that her character has a kind of brokenness and inner turmoil, and she wanted her voice to reflect that intensity. With her unique approach, Lady Gaga is poised to put her stamp on Harley, making “Joker: Folie à Deux” among the most anticipated releases of the year.
