In the first set of photos, the Italian-American entertainer wears a custom-made Michael Schmidt Studios clear acrylic bubble bodysuit paired with a vintage clear bustier by Mugler.

She sported these vintage Optical Affairs 6556 clear acetate sunglasses which she, together with her vintage French lucite cuffs, sourced at Fairfax-based vintage boutique Catwalk.

Her silver knuckle ring is by House of Waris.

She completed this look with a pair of Ruthie Davis’ Spring/Summer 2009 Pop white and neon-yellow PVC strap platform sandals with lucite stiletto heels.

Gaga wore a sculptural pink plexiglass & metal bolero and matching basque skirt from Mugler Fall/Winter 1995 Haute Couture collection.

The futuristic ensemble was also featured in the Thierry Mugler archive story, Luigi Murenu and Daniele & Iango captured for the latest issue of Exhibition Magazine, in the last year “Temptress” editorial by Darius Salimi x Lash Magazine, Richard Burbridge’s 2012 “Futuristic” photo shoot, and Mark Pillai x Dazed 2009 “Woman Machine” editorial, among others… and if you live or been to Paris last Spring, you may have seen it at Mugler Pop Up Store at the Joyce Gallery.

Michael Schmidt Studios custom-made Gaga’s wheelchair and embellished it with Swarovski crystals.

The look was styled with a nOir Jewelry pavé silver spike bangle...

...and the Ruthie Davis Spring/Summer 2009 Sushi Deluxe PVC and lucite neon platform peep-toe pumps.

Here the songstress poses in a Metropolis-inspired set dresses as an injured robot in an archive Mugler Spring/Summer 1991 prêt-à-porter silver metal helmet, bra, briefs and sleeves.

Her Swarovski crystal-embellished spiked clutches are custom-made by Michael Schmidt Studios.

Gaga also wore a pair of black patent leather Alti platform pumps from Christian Louboutin’s Fall/Winter 2018 collection.

In some of the outtakes, Gaga is seen posing with a baby, and a different pair of shoes. These sculpturesque heels are made of actual gold metal and are, just like her outfit, vintage Mugler!

The Italian-American beauty looks electrifying (hah, get it?) in not much but a pair of the Acne Studios Judd Low silver metallic platform wedge ankle boots from the Fall/Winter 2009 collection.

In these outtakes, we can see the Italian-American singer wearing a bespoke Haus of Gaga newspaper print catsuit with sharp, exaggerated shoulders accompanied with...

...a textured umbrella headpiece Philip Treacy made for Alexander McQueen’s Fall/Winter 2009 “Horn of Plenty” collection.

Finally, she completed the look with a black leather version of the aforementioned Acne Studios Judd Low boots.

The floor sweeping long duster coat with buttoned front, fitted waist and stand-up collar has been custom created for Gaga by Michael Schmidt Studios. This coat is covered in over 250.000 Swarovski crystals.

Click here to watch a video of how the coat looked during the progress.

She also rocks the trademark of the “Joanne” era  - her pink felt Lady Bianca hat by Gladys Tamez Millinery.

Later on, she revealed a new outfit underneath her coat. 

Alexander Wang was the man behind this look. The longstanding Wang Gang member asked the designer for a look that captured the Western vibes off her latest album, mixed with a touch of sex appeal. Wang obliged, creating a leather leotard with floor-sweeping fringe and heavy embroidery. 

“This look was inspired by Gaga’s incredible energy and captures the Western spirit seen in our recent collections, as well as her transformation into Joanne,” says Wang. “The tattoo embroidery on the bodice (which has been featured on a piece from his Spring/Summer 2016 colelction as well) and the leather fringe was inspired by a cowboy boot’s heavy stitching and embellishments, hybridized with a tracksuit that highlights the athleticism of Gaga’s performance power.”

The crystals were added by the Haus of Gaga.

For the comeback of the show on November 3rd in Montreal, Gaga swapped her old look for a new two-piece metal mesh outfit custom-made by Michael Schmidt Studios and personalized by the Haus of Gaga. The metal mesh fabric was provided by Whiting & Davis.

Gaga and dancers stormed the stage in customized BLK DNM white lambskin leather motorcycle jackets with silver-tone hardware and “Joanne” written across the back of the three girls.

The girls took off their leather jackets to later reveal beautiful two-piece blue metal mesh outfits designed by Michael Schmidt Studios. Crop-tops and shorts by the LA-based designer are very popular this era, with all the metal mesh fabrics being provided by Whiting & Davis!

Gaga’s fringed outfit was basically another version of her SNL outfit, designed by Schmidt as well. 

The rhinestone-embellished bra underneath is custom-made by a-morir.

Now let’s talk about these stunning boots. a-morir was commissioned by Gaga’s team to customize these Calvin Klein Nolina boots with over 7500 silver Swarovski rhinestones. 

Her black felt hat is a Gladys Tamez Millinery custom piece that was accessorized with a custom metal mesh ribbon by Michael Schmidt to match her outfit.

In the photos above Gaga is rocking a long jacket that was custom-made for her by Roberto Cavalli. The blue & white floral patterns are the same ones that were presented on his Spring/Summer 2017 collection. 

Gaga’s costume designer and tailor Perry Meek customized the jacket with Swarovski rhinestones.

For ‘Perfect Illusion’, Gaga donned a white T-shirt along with some cut-off denim shorts by Levi’s. 

Her black bomber jacket with “Joanne” embroidery on the back is a bespoke piece by emerging label UpDownAcross. 

This isn’t their first custom creation for her. Check out the other bomber jacket!

Gaga’s hat is the Joanne hat by Gladys Tamez Millinery. This pink felt velour hat features a white snakeskin band around the top.

The songstress finished her look with the rag & bone Cozen black leather Wingtip boots with perforated detail, gold-tone hardware and lug sole.

After the show, Gaga decided to stay to sign some stuff for the fans. She rocked a custom leather motorcycle jacket by L.A. Roxx.

Above, you can see a very similar jacket. The jacket is covered in hundreds of round silver-tone studs.

Her shades are the Saint Laurent Classic 11 aviator sunglasses with blue lens and black frame.

Gaga’s boots are actually the Saint Laurent Curtis 80 ankle boots that a-morir customized for her with thousands of pink rhinestones and pink glitter paint.

Let’s start off with this small promotional bumper commercial. She’s wearing a custom crop-top by young designer Wesley Berryman who has his own label under the name of WESLAH.

Inspired by his own punk designs, her T-shirt spells “Gaga” in eery tattoo-inspired letters and have embroidery frame stitching.

For the bumper series, Gaga rocks nothing but her guitar and a bunch of accessories. Her Pigalle pink patent pumps are by Christian Louboutin.

Of course she’s also repping her favourite Lady Bianca hat by Gladys Tamez Millinery. This hat boasts a sculpted crown, a grosgrain ribbon and a wide brim.

Her sunglasses are Saint Laurent’s Classic 59mm gunmetal aviator sunglasses.

Now to her outfit in her short comedic promotional videos. Gaga wore a full look from Dsquared²’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection [look #17]. 

The Mix & Match dress consists of a black lace embroidered sheer tulle bodice, embroidered leopard mini skirt and plaid rhinestone-embellished leg o’ mutton sleeves with black bows on the shoulders.

Her crystal-embellished black velvet belt is from that collection as well.

For her performance of “A-YO”, Lady Gaga rocked a silver crystal mesh crop-top and fringe shorts with raw hems by Michael Schmidt Studios. Her dancers wore bespoke Schmidt as well. The mesh fabric was provided by Whiting & Davis.

Both of the dancers are wearing the Diamond Princess chokers by Martine Ali.

Gaga’s boots are actually the Saint Laurent Curtis 80 ankle boots that Kerin Rose Gold from a-morir customized for her with thousands of pink rhinestones and glitter paint. Kerin also made her crystal-embellished bra.

Next up, ‘Million Reasons’. She performed it beautifully on a piano wearing a bespoke Brandon Maxwell blush pink crêpe confection. 

The full-length sleeved bodysuit transforms into a skirt on the waist, forming a long train. It also features a deep V neck and cape sleeves on the shoulders.

Gaga rocked a customized cropped version of American Apparel’s short-sleeved Scrimmage shirt. 

Her shorts (which I adoooooore) are custom-made for her by Michael Schmidt Studios, the Mr. Magic Hands also behind the Countess’ killer glove. The shorts are made from silver metal mesh from Whiting & Davis which had a denim short texture digital printed on it before they were frayed at the hem. 

Schmidt made a very similar piece for Rihanna back in 2011, which you can look at here.

Gaga also wore classic round silver metal sunglasses by Persol (similar pictured).

She’s rocking a custom silver crop top with rivet detailing on the shoulders by LA-based Michael Schmidt Studios who used Whiting & Davis metal mesh fabric. The sleeveless top boasts a crew-neck and a zip closure on the back. Pictured above is a black version.

Her Silencio bomber jacket is, to my knowledge, her first ever piece by Sandro. This jacket is rendered in glossy black polyester and is embellished with silver-tone metal studs and star charms. 

Gaga’s Levi’s shorts are custom-embroidered with her stage name on the back pocket by Chain Gang L.A.

She’s also rocking a pair of Muse Studio Jewellery’s sterling silver square hoop earrings (£55).

Her necklace is the Pyrrha Vanity charm holder necklace with a Spirit gryphon talisman ($175), horseshoe symbol charm ($99) and a Balance capped amethyst attraction charm ($99).
