Lady Gaga uses ‘method dressing’ to embody the role of Harley Quinn in the eponymous album and to channel the character on the red carpet for the upcoming premiere of ‘Joker: Folie à Deux,’ which will be released on October 4.
If you’re unfamiliar with the term ‘method dressing,’ it is a fashion term that can be translated into Vietnamese as ‘phương pháp ăn mặc’ (method of dressing). This term refers to the approach, style, or strategy a person uses to choose and combine their clothing. This method may involve selecting clothes, accessories, materials, and colors that align with personal style direction or fashion trends at the time. While many believe that ‘method dressing’ is no longer widely practiced, Lady Gaga consistently maintains her unique, quirky, and artistic fashion identity. To achieve this, the singer and her team have continuously invested in her appearances over the years.

At the London premiere, Lady Gaga chose a design from the fashion house Celine. The striking bright red gown dominated the spotlight at the ‘Joker 2’ red carpet premiere. Red is often considered the signature color of the ‘Poker Face’ singer. The outfit exuded the spirit of the 1980s, but Lady Gaga knew exactly how to convey its elegant and retro elements. The design, with oversized padded shoulders, reflected both the elegance and sophistication blended with the eccentricity of Lady Gaga and the character she embodies.
