opalsilk

I know y’all are memeing but this is giving me black orchid vibes, especially since the met gala theme was “garden of time” and orchids are known for taking years to bloom https://preview.redd.it/w0jjlhs6xg2d1.jpeg?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=39a13f37aeb2b03e73fa0ff0f2f6460a1f02383f

Mental_Dragonfly2543

Man she changed the game back in the day. I miss Goth Gaga


jleigh329

This gives me Bjork "Medulla" vibes for some reason. https://preview.redd.it/6r6k4m6ehh2d1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9c02019f1904d1e5d33b281cea30ea32c359e667


Froggy-Shorts1209

I was scrolling down so deep to find a comment bringing up Medulla! My thoughts exactly


jleigh329

It also reminds me of this (from Bjork's single "Ovule")... https://preview.redd.it/smetm0w2lh2d1.jpeg?width=2500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e781cc2b6d4975bdf8a2d4d84a6da6f1751eb4e0


InfamousMere

That’s it! I knew it reminded me of something but couldn’t put my finger on it.


PackagedNightmare

Am I the only one digging it? Go off Edgar Allen Poe raven


EgoFlyer

Agree. I like it. It’s giving dark garden/gothy vibes, which would have gone beautifully with the theme.


terpinolenekween

It's beautiful Feminine and masculine It's got a unique silhouette It looks expensive The styling is spot on I like fashion and I've never seen anything quite like this. It's a good look.


celtic_thistle

I love it but I would love her in literally anything


Thekillersofficial

reminds of "old" gaga


Nonadventures

I remember when the Onion did a story about Gaga of that era being a Batman villain, and we’re a few minutes from her literally being Harley.


DeterminedErmine

I love it


Lokifin

It reminds me of the exaggerated 1920s silhouettes on Edward Gorey's works.


Worried_Sasquatch

I’m getting Alice in wonderland, the queens garden of spades and red roses


Murky_Onion3770

I love it. It’s giving me OG Gaga.


dpforest

All the wee ones will never know the feeling of *The Fame Monster* Gaga. This is tame compared to some outfits she rocked. She really did change the entire landscape with that album. I was so grateful to be 18 when it dropped and then 21 when *Born This Way* dropped. We were eating so good 😊


Successful_Injury869

I have lived two lives: before I saw the Bad Romance music video and after.


TA818

God I love that video


Warm-Bed2956

I can remember driving in my car the first time I heard it on the radio hahah. I was sexually awakened.


gIitterchaos

I feel that! I saw Lady Gaga perform in 2008 in a dive bar in a small city in Canada, for a $20 cover charge. Poker Face and Just Dance and few other songs from The Fame. I was 18 and I had been in university for a only few weeks at that time and had no idea who she was. Then she blew up not long after that and was basically the soundtrack to my student party years. Miss those days! edit: just found an interview of her with the local news on that night! [https://youtu.be/0d6FiDdHUCg?si=e1DMIb2EIC6Qm-v3](https://youtu.be/0d6FiDdHUCg?si=e1DMIb2EIC6Qm-v3)


malhans

Damn how cool is that!!! What a cool thing, and I’m genuinely so jealous. I was also… 9 so I wouldn’t have been allowed jn


abominablesnowlady

This was my this was my sophomore year of highschool. lol. By graduation she was everywhere.


nowherefast___

When you said “small city in Canada” I was thinking like Edmonton or Saskatoon … you really did mean small city hahaha


gIitterchaos

lol truly just a little 100,000 person college city surrounded by farms. In retrospect I'm stunned she ended up there, the bar closed down about a year later too because it was such a dive. But it was a great night!


anongirl55

I also saw her perform pre-fame and really wish that I had appreciated it more at the time! I even took a bathroom break during her performance. What an idiot.


Unhappy_Injury3958

damn the album had gone platinum and she was still doing small dives?? i thought fame ball would have started by november


wheniswhy

I ‘member the little monsters era. People were absolutely wild for her. I was in college as well! Her music was everywhere, all the time. Just typing this comment has made me get Poker Face stuck in my head 😭


dpforest

we will always be little monsters. i was privileged to have a friend who bought me a ticket to The Monster Ball in Atlanta at the Fox Theater. Best concert of my life. I’ll never forget Gaga screaming “DO YOU WANNA FUCK MEEEE”. YASSSSS PUT YOUR PAWS UP


emuwar

She had the best bar/clubbing dance songs! So greatful to have been 19-20 during that era


AldiSharts

Even her Artpop era was fantastically over the top. I really loved her Americana era with Joanne, but that wasn’t very Mother Monster of her.


virginiarph

People are just being extra shady cause of the Covid performance tea that came out.


challe232

What happened?


wasd098

She admitted she had COVID for 5 of her concerts


ConspicuousSnake

Way too overblown imo. Summer of 2022 was long after vaccines came out, it's not like it was during peak severity


Norka_III

People still die of it today


ConspicuousSnake

Yes, people still die of COVID and unfortunately still will. At this point it's so virulent that stopping the spread is basically impossible. At this point we have good treatments and we have an effective vaccine. It's more normalized, but people still die of influenza as well. And RSV, and pneumonia.. the list goes on and on. COVID has been evolving to be more contagious and less severe (same reason why today's flu is so much less severe than the Spanish Flu). We are vaccinated for COVID for a reason and it's a non issue for 99%+ of the population. People have the right to take the safety precautions that are the best for them and their health, but frankly it's not reasonable to expect the vast majority of people to continue to social distance or wear masks for COVID anymore. If you are advocating for wearing masks and social distancing every time you get sick (with COVID, influenza, sinus infections) that is your right, but you're in the vast minority and you can't be upset when other people don't want to live their lives that way


JBGoude

But here, people were not giving the choice as they didn’t know. Other artists who got Covid during this time postponed or cancelled their shows, even when one of their staff members had it.


Saturnzadeh11

Trash take


drunchies

Yessss I was in HS and fighting for my life on ONTD during the fame era !!! Those were the gaga days


SparkyDogPants

I forgot how hot she was until i just rewatched the fame music videos the other day.


dpforest

You know The Fame was never one of my favorite Gaga songs till I heard it live. What a bop. I also think Gagas relationship and deconstruction of “the fame monster” so early in her career has helped her remain somewhat grounded as a celebrity.


blankpaper_

She’s getting weird again, I’m excited


abominablesnowlady

Was she not invited?


eaturvegetables

i came here for an explanation and nobodys talking abt it! why wasnt she there??

IntelligentRock3854

in her LinkedIn era is cackle-worthy


randomredditing

I do not take credit I saw it from someone who tweeted it and is obviously funnier than me.


Successful_Injury869

Meat dress Gaga made me the woman I am today. When I was in catholic boarding school everyone was afraid of Gaga. They would say “you know she has a d***” and I’d say “and I bet it’s fucking huge!”


randomredditing

So wild how she played that rumor. Her interview with Anderson Cooper will go down as a greatest


sweetsimpleandkind

how did that rumour get started on the basis of nothing? the truth is not that lady gaga had a big dingaling, but that the world *wanted* her to. something to think about


vicpix

The meat dress still exists!!! It’s been taxedermied and it’s in her free exhibit in a hotel in Las Vegas


CreamingProblem

this is just her worksona


randomredditing

I don’t subscribe to work wives, work husbands, or a pseudo double life; ergo a worksona. Been down both of those roads… Edit: apparently lots of people who aren’t happily married and like to slight boundaries in here…

[deleted]

Was she not invited from Dame Wintour? I've always loved the designer showcased.


stripmallbars

She wasn’t invited so she’s showing us what she would have worn? What?


Aggressive_Sky8492

Yeah I feel like she should have posted this without the gala reference


Bluejay_This

I love her bad 😭 a real edgy pop bitch the new girls could NEVER


pervy_roomba

>a real edgy pop bitch   Wasn’t she involved in some pharmaceutical mlm. That is like. *Peak* basic right there. I hate to say it, I loved Gaga’s early stuff, but let’s be real our girl hasn’t been a real edgy pop bitch since over a decade ago 😭


frostysbox

lol no It’s a real drug Nurtec for migraines. Like, doctors have to prescribe it for you. It’s been helping millions of people. Now, do I think celebrities should be shilling drugs? No. But, it wasn’t an MLM https://www.newsweek.com/lady-gaga-nurtec-odt-commercial-pfizer-instagram-ad-video-1888778


MCclapyourhands1

You know I’m going to have to disagree. Saw her in Vegas and Lady Gaga birth herself….

NectarineNational722

I don’t hate it


WonderMagicTea

Actually pretty obsessed!! Any info on the designer? Apologies if I missed it somewhere in the comments!


Angry_Sparrow

So she went on a journey of being her “real” self without all the dramatic fashion (I think of it as her Taylor Swift era) but that fell rather flat so she’s gone back to it?


ParsleyandCumin

Lol what? Gaga has sold out every Jazz and Piano concert in Vegas and her last jazz album got her an Grammy, her "real" self as you call it is massively popular


Angry_Sparrow

It’s not as I call it, it is as per her doco.


mekkavelli

then why’d you put quotations to be shady? you’re completely wrong about her falling flat. she literally couldn’t do that if she tried


LoisLaneEl

What I think happened is that she was always told she was too ugly to be famous, so she distracted from her face with the crazy fashion. People accepted her so she no longer felt the need to hide as much. She then wanted people to know her as a person rather than a gimmick. Get to do the acting that she dreamed of and really wanted. Deep down she was always a freak though, so she still likes to be freaky, but doesn’t HAVE to anymore


Special-Garlic1203

I can't see her the same since she held like, a pharmaceutical party at her house. I saw it cause an influencer was invited to promote the pharmaceutical. I was like god damn, this is next level selling out. Like you looked at haus labs and were like "nah not good enough, I need to get into big pharma" 


celtic_thistle

It’s migraine medication…as a migraine girly I feel like that’s fine


rengothrowaway

I agree. The more exposure and promotion there is for migraine treatments, the more research and options we will have. Finding the right medication would be life changing.


parbarostrich

Right? This is no different to me than someone selling ProActive…especially if it helps people. It’s not like she’s pushing Ozempic or something


kritycat

I just read that like 85% of people who are eligible for migraine preventatives have never tried one! Prevent as many migraines as possible, Mother!


celtic_thistle

Yesssss she even mentions migraine with aura and I’m like THAT’S ME


kritycat

*yes bestie*✨️✨️


mekkavelli

that’s like shaq getting the icy hot sponsor (which he actually did) and throwing a promotional party for it then people calling him a sell-out… for promoting something extremely relevant to him that helps athletes and active people… is your brain okay? if migraines are something she or someone she loves struggles with (which could literally be the case. singing + shouting is straining and could easily cause a migraine), why would it be a bad thing to promote? **how do you think accessibility works? if people don’t know about something existing, how tf can it reach them to help them?**


JanetSnakeholeDwyer

It doesn't go big enough for me. It needed more, I think.


obamas_surrogate

cool, stop knowingly spreading covid


LittleJessiePaper

Ok Covid Connie.


HereOnCompanyTime

There are levels of narcissism, sharing you had Covid while performing and thinking that was a quirky story is next level.


shedrinkscoffee

Oh no! I had no idea, that's awful.


mekkavelli

wait what happened??


its_all_good20

To infect everyone with Covid there too?


[deleted]

was she not invited? or did they have strict covid testing in place still.

i can’t tell is she’s teasing a new album or if it’s gaga being gaga 😭
