For the opening look, Gaga and her longtime stylist Hunter decided to delve once again into the Rodarte archives. From the Fall/Winter 2023 collection, they opted for the black silk velvet devoré cape with floral sequin all over embroidery.

For the majority of the show, Gaga leans fully into ritual. She appears veiled beneath a sculptural beaded headpiece and crown by Tommy Solovyov - her face obscured, her presence amplified.

The piece reads like armor and relic all at once: a lattice of beads cascading into a netted veil, crowned with intricate, almost sacred detailing. It transforms anonymity into power, turning concealment into spectacle.

For an alternative opening look, as seen during the rehearsals, Lady Gaga seems to be wearing one of the fun tinsel capes as seen on the aforementioned Rodarte‘s runway!

To throw in some Saint Laurent, as she loves, we got these new "SL 736" black acetate oval sunglasses with side logo detail.

I was immediately captivated by this Victorian goth-inspired beauty.

This black wool dress with leg-o'-mutton sleeves, standing collar, hook-and-eye details, voluminous hips and sheer paneled skirt, hails from Aniye Records‘ Fall/Winter 2025 collection titled "Breaking Rules".

A mix of established houses and emerging designers is a must when it comes to Gaga‘s styling palette.

Here, she‘s donning the uber-fierce Fragile studded cropped leather jacket with dramatic shoulders and elongated eyelet straps from Judassime‘s Spring/Summer 2026 collection titled "Lost Highway".

You‘ll remember her honoring this collection at her very last 'Mayhem Ball' tour show in NYC with another studded jacket by this young talent!

Gaga then re-emerges on stage as a withering gothic bride, dressed in the most gorgeous silhouette from Matières Fécales‘ Fall/Winter 2025 "The Other" collection - black tulle enveloppée evening gown twisting around the torso before falling into a dramatic mermaid silhouette.

A custom Dilara Findikoglu black organza veil with antique deadstock guipure lace trim mounted on a layered headband completed the look.

Emerging designer label SLVA is the mastermind behind some pieces of this show, including this mindblowing sculpted industrial rubber dress featuring an asymmetrical hood, zip front and matching gauntlets, all inspired by his Fall/Winter 2026 collection.

A little bird whispered to me that Gaga‘s boots for the show were a pair of Stuart Weitzman Power boots which were reworked by Lacey Dalimonte with a distressed and treated leather overlay!

We had SLVA open up the 'Mayhem' era with his creations using repurposed car parts. And now, we‘re letting him close it.

Gaga donned one of his body armours, this time in black made of old vintage car parts Selva himself picks out by hand.

To complete the look, Gaga dons these fierce stretch leather thigh-high platform boots Christian Louboutin created for Matières Fécales‘ Fall/Winter 2025 "The Other" collection.

Mother Monster changes into a total custom look done by emerging designer Andrew Curwen which includes a treated black mesh corset and layered silk organza tea-length skirt in various shades of grey!

"It consumed 337 yards of silk fabric", Curwen says. "It’s literally hundreds of thousands of circles layered and strung together".

The look was completed with a pair of custom black leather gauntlets with buckled wrist strap detail Andrew made in collaboration with Sofia Morin.

Things changed up for the performance version of the previous outfit.

Instead of the big ballgown-esque skirt, she opted for a custom Andrew Curwen corset skirt made of wool gauze and horsehair.

Gaga turned up in Argentinian Berlin-based emerging designer label SLVA which was based on the "[603.628]km²" collection.

Her look featured a laminated white muslin calico cotton one-shoulder jacket and matching corset dress cut in the memory of an apron, stenced with holes for multiple sterling silver hooks and chains. A white lacquered shoulder sculpture made of discarded car parts pulled the whole look together. It was created in only two days!

Cristian 'Selva' Huygens started by developing and creating costumes for performances he produces, as well as for exhibitions inside ATM banks and interventions in public spaces around Berlin. The collection was inspired by his last trip to Kyiv, Ukraine where he also presented a collection of designs at a local metro station.

He mainly focuses on using discarded materials, all kinds of fabrics, metal connectors, and car parts as armatures. Conceptually, he describes his brand in one word: Brutalism. Every construction detail and mistake is shown. When it happens, he makes them even more visible. As the designer calls it, he develops 'honest clothes,' following the Brutalism concept.

She completed her look with the Pleaser Flamingo-1020 white vinyl platform ankle boots with lace-up front.

Gaga then sat down for a Q&A session, wearing another Germany-based emerging designer: AZIZ, who she previously introduced to us by rocking his designs both on-stage and on-screen at the tour!

This time, he crafted her a custom look which comprised a black stretch jersey long-sleeved elongated dress with a silicone drip-covered stiffened mesh cocoon structure with peek-a-boo slit for the head to come through, and matching gloves.

She crowned the look with a Philip Treacy Fall/Winter 2018 intricate black lace mask.

Our girl also rocked a bunch of white-gold and diamond rings by two French labels. The first ring is Djula's Délicatesse geometric lines large ring (€2,700).

The three other rings are all signed by AKILLIS and included the Tattoo large ring (€8,500), the Tattoo slim ring (€2,900) and the Capture Me ring (€5,250).

I couldn't help but notice how much the last ring resembles a bear trap, which is also depicted on the single cover for the first "Chromatica" single "Stupid Love", creating a great full circle moment.

Shop:

Djula "Délicatesse" Ring (€2,700.00)

AKILLIS "Tattoo" Large Ring (€8,500.00)

AKILLIS "Tattoo" Slim Ring (€2,900.00)

AKILLIS "Capture Me" Ring (€5,250.00)

Gaga rocked her signature sky-high Flamingo-1020 black vinyl platform boots from Pleaser.

The final look of the evening saw Gaga channeling her CBT "Sonnet" interlude by re-wearing her Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2002 "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" collection parachute coat which features a mandarin collar, eye-hook closure and exaggerated bishop sleeves, bubble back and train.

In McQueen's words: "This collection was inspired by Tim Burton. It started off dark and then got more romantic as it went along."

This coat was given to her by Daphne Guinness personally!

She also wore the matador-inspired black jacquard silk mask headpiece Philip Treacy created for Lee's collection.
