Lady Gaga made a stunning entrance at the 81st Venice International Film Festival on Monday, captivating onlookers with her timeless elegance and public display of affection with fiancé Michael Polansky, per hellomagazine.com. The 38-year-old singer and actress, in town to promote her highly anticipated film Joker: Folie à Deux, arrived via gondola at the Hotel Cipriani dock, arm-in-arm with Polansky.
Gaga, known for her dramatic style transformations, returned to her signature blonde locks after a brief stint with darker hair, which she had debuted on Instagram just 18 days prior. Her Venice look, a chic black dress with white polka dots paired with oversized sunglasses, exuded classic Hollywood glamour while staying true to her edgy persona.
The couple’s arrival was marked by a tender kiss as they disembarked, much to the delight of fans and photographers alike. This public display of affection comes on the heels of Gaga’s recent engagement announcement, which she casually revealed during a conversation with French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Gaga and Polansky’s romance, which began at a New Year’s Eve party in December 2019, has been a subject of public fascination. Their relationship blossomed during the Covid-19 pandemic, with Gaga referring to Polansky as “the love of my life” in an April 2020 interview.
As the festival unfolds, all eyes will be on Gaga, not only for her red carpet appearances but also for insights into her role in the upcoming Joker sequel. The star’s presence at Venice marks a significant moment in her career, bridging her musical prowess with her growing influence in the film industry.
