Wearing all black is a hot-button issue in the fashion community. Some find it mournful—others decry it as downright boring. But Lady Gaga is here to say that a few eye-catching accessories can make all the difference.
Yesterday, Gaga joined her fiancé, tech CEO Michael Polansky, for dinner in Malibu wearing an attention-grabbing outfit. When it came to her clothing itself, she kept it simple in a black V-neck long-sleeve, shrugged off the shoulder to reveal a black bra strap. Her accessories, however, made the look a total standout.
Gaga carried a black Bottega Veneta tote in the brand’s signature intrecciato weave, which injected some texture into the monochromatic scheme. (Also noteworthy was the massive diamond that took up nearly all of the real estate on that finger.) But by far the most jaw-dropping component of the singer’s outfit was her pair of patent leather lace-up Pleaser stiletto boots with a 6-inch platform.
The freaky footwear has become Gaga’s go-to shoe lately. While in Paris ahead of the 2024 Olympics, she styled them with everything from a sporty pair of leggings and a patriotic Team USA quarter zip to blue jeans and an oversized blazer.
Not only did the Joker: Folie à Deux star tote around a status bag, but she stayed true to her outrageous personal style with her sky-high platforms. So next time you’re trying to spice up a black monochrome look, take a page from Lady Gaga’s book and play around with trendy staples and unique pieces until it feels true to you.
