Lady Gaga Goes From Full Glam to Barefaced for 2023 Oscars Performance
If anyone can command the attention of a room, it’s Lady Gaga. The 13-time Grammy Award-winning artist did just that when she hit the champagne carpet at the 95th annual Academy Awards on Sunday evening.
The “Born This Way” singer stunned in a head-turning black Versace gown with sheer mesh paneling and accessorized with Tiffany & Co. jewels. The alluring outfit, which included a daring backside, was styled by Sandra Amador.
Gaga’s makeup artist, Sarah Tanno, went all out with the star’s glam. She achieved the 36-year-old’s dramatic look using products from the singer’s own line, Haus Labs, including the brand’s new Color Fuse Blush ($38) in the shade “Dragon Fruit Daze.” Hairstylist Frederic Aspiras slicked the House of Gucci actress’s locks back into a braided up-do.
Later in the evening, Gaga went super casual when she took the stage to perform her song, “Hold My Hand,” from the Top Gun: Maverick soundtrack. While the track was up for the award for Original Song, “Naatu Naatu” from RRR took home the honors.
The A Star is Born actress wiped off her makeup for the intimate, stripped down performance and wore a simple T-shirt, jeans with rips in the knees and Converse sneakers.
As she introduced the song on stage, the singer-songwriter shared an inspirational message.
“I think that we all need each other. We need a lot of love to walk through this life, and we all need a hero sometimes. There’s heroes all around us in unassuming places,” she said. “But you might find that you could be your own hero even if you feel broken inside.”
