Take, for example, Lady Gaga’s arresting fashion statement over the weekend as she stepped out for a muted Sunday brunch at Soho House in Hollywood, CA. The queen of the super bowl twerk rocked a controversial and visionary aesthetic. She wore an eye-catching black on black look that further established her bold trademark grunge style. Joined by her mom and her fiancé Michael Polansky, she and the pair garnered attention with their fashion-forward ensembles.
The stunner of Lady Gaga’s outfit was an angular leather moto jacket that fully represented her punk aesthetic. She wore the jacket with black briefing shorts, which was a killer contrast and an unexpected way to give prominence to her leg. She finished off her ensemble with a little help from a pair of sky-high platform heels. These day-to-day staples in her wardrobe created a new layer of commotion to her classic-meets-futuristic sensory overload.
Lady Gaga took an unexpected turn in the accessory game, reaching for below-the-knee socks to elevate her ensemble. Paired with her platform heels, these accessories added to the eclectic vibe of her look. Her accessories were just as show-stopping, including a spiked Balenciaga dad cap that brought out the bad bitch in me. To protect her eyes from the sun, she put on the most futuristic shield-style sunglasses, adding an extra touch to her overall glamorous aesthetic.
The outfit appeared reminiscent of something she might wear during her headlining performance at Coachella, especially given its punk-inspired flair. Lady Gaga’s ability to march to the beat of her own drum in terms of fashion has long made her a trendsetter in the industry. To call her designs practical would be a disservice—her silhouettes consistently challenge the boundaries between high fashion and wearable aesthetics. This gives her freedom to move seamlessly from the stage to daytime hangouts.
And judging from this shot, Lady Gaga specifically made time for family brunch. Fittingly enough for the artist who helped birth the term “Mother Monster,” her outfit was totally in sync with her artistic identity. She selects an all black, austere uniform, where her individualism shines through the formal wear. This decision highlights her continued evolution as an artist and sartorial trailblazer.
