Leave it to Lady Gaga to rise out of a coffin with a purple-grey bouffant and call it a Saturday night.
In what might be her most theatrical transformation since that raw meat dress era, the pop-cultural shape-shifter showed off a goth-glam resurrection ahead of her Netflix Tudum performance—and yes, the internet is still gagging.
Wearing what can only be described as purple haze meets Mad Men, Gaga’s new hairstyle was a bouffant masterpiece—voluminous, slicked-back, high at the crown, and glazed in a grayish violet hue that said, “I see your subtle balayage and raise you a full-on beauty exorcism.”
This was no ordinary selfie drop. Moments later, Gaga literally emerged from a coffin (as one does) to perform the Wednesday dance, teasing her upcoming guest role in Wednesday Season 2. We don’t know who she’s playing yet, but judging by the hair, it’s either a gothic opera diva or Morticia’s distant cousin with a Haus Labs discount code.
And let’s talk beauty. Gaga paired her towering tresses with bleached brows (classic), a subtle peach lip stain, and barely-there mascara—because when your hair is doing that much heavy lifting, your face can take the day off.
Style-wise, she kept it moody and sheer. A black collared blouse, fishnet tights, a tailored black vest, and just enough diamonds to pay off your rent for the next decade. Front and center? That multi-watt engagement ring from longtime love Michael Polansky, casually twinkling as she whispered sweet goth nothings into Netflix’s Instagram feed.
But don’t get too cozy with this look—because for her actual Tudum set, Gaga switched gears (again).
She hit the stage to perform “Zombieboy,” “Abracadabra,” and “Bloody Mary” in a teased platinum mane, a structured red dress, porcelain skin, and enough black eyeshadow to summon three seasons of American Horror Story. A real-time transformation that gave us everything from undead glam to crimson cult leader.
She didn’t reveal her Wednesday role just yet, but she’ll be joining OGs like Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Luis Guzmán when Season 2 hits Netflix in August.
