What Style and Music Icon Lady Gaga is Up to in 2023
At the 95th Academy Awards, Lady Gaga surprised fans and guests by performing ”Top Gun: Maverick” after the organizers reported that she could not make the event. However, the multi-talented artist did not disappoint, and she eventually appeared on the dimly lit stage for a raw and solemn rendition of the song.
From performing songs and starring in movies to launching her makeup line in the UK, Lady Gaga has been busier than ever. Let’s delve deeper into what Lady Gaga is up to in 2023 and how she continues redefining style and music with her artistic endeavours.
Music innovations
Since “Hold My Hand,” the lead single to the soundtrack for ”Top Gun: Maverick,” was released in 2022, Lady Gaga’s latest song release continued to see plenty of nominations and awards in 2023. This includes the Best Original Song award from both Lumiere and Satellite Awards. USA Today’sToday’s Melissa Ruggieri also referred to Gaga’s Oscar’s rendition of the song as “the most affecting performance of the show.”
Unfortunately, it seems as if Gaga’s other music innovations in 2023 — or lack of them — may be disappointing fans. On April 16, Gaga’s ARTPOP producer DJ White Shadow posted on his Instagram story: “No longer talking about ARTPOP. I am officially finished. Don’t ask me about it. Don’t talk to me about it.” Many little monsters have been anticipating ARTPOP Act II since 2013, and the news that this has been shelved dismayed fans. Some fans have since called 2023 a year of Gaga “drought.”
Style evolution
However, Gaga’s fans can, fortunately, turn to other avenues for more of their favourite star. The singer is well known for turning heads with more than just her music. Who can forget Gaga’s iconic cigarette glasses or infamous meat dress? While she has mellowed out in terms of style lately — the 2023 Oscars had her decked out in old-Hollywood glam — Gaga’s still one of the celebrities who can switch her appearance and look completely different with sunglasses and other accessories thanks to her unrivaled sense of style and drama. This comes off as no surprise. Haus of Gaga, her personal creative team, has long been responsible for several of her fashion creations, such as the Fame Crystal sunglasses in Poker Face or the aforementioned cigarette glasses.
Lady Gaga’s fashion moments have always been crucial to her musical process. In 2023, she continues to share her love for beauty with fans by expanding Haus Labs’ latest collection of gel powder, Color Fuse Blush, in five stunning shades. Additionally, as of June 2023, Haus Labs has expanded beyond Sephora in the US and Canada and is now sold in Sephora in the UK as well.
Beyond music and fashion
After her critically acclaimed performance in “A Star is Born” in 2018, Gaga took on the role of Harley Quinn in the musical Joker sequel Folie à Deux alongside Joaquin Phoenix. This premieres in 2024. Until then, Gaga can also be expected to keep busy as co-chair of the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities after President Joe Biden appointed her in April 2023.
As of June 2023, there is no confirmation whether Lady Gaga will release another song or even return to her Las Vegas residency. However, there’s no doubt that the multi-talented star will continue to surprise fans with her next undertaking, whatever this may be.
