Lady Gaga arrived at Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night, putting a very diva spin on the classic little black dress. Gaga wore a look from Christian Siriano, featuring a black bodycon
mini dress with dramatic tulle sleeves. She accessorized with sunglasses and black heels.
Gaga's appearance comes shortly after her interview with W magazine was published, where the actress spoke about her role as Patrizia Reggiani in House of Gucci and finding the character, then ultimately letting her go.
On whether the clothes helped her get into character, Gaga said, “Yes and no. The most important element in becoming Patrizia was dyeing my own hair brown. I couldn't be blonde with that Italian accent—I was still myself. It was also important to me that the film not be a red carpet: Fashion was a key part of Patrizia's survival. She tried so hard, but she was never as shiny as the Guccis.”
Gaga credited the universe—and some large swarms of flies in Italy—to helping her say goodbye to Reggiani. “On the last day of filming, I was on the balcony of my apartment in Rome, and I was blasting Dean Martin singing ‘Mambo Italiano,’ and I had a cigarette hanging out of my mouth. I was Patrizia,” she recalled. “But I knew I had to say goodbye to her: Large swarms of flies kept following me around, and I truly began to believe that she had sent them. I was ready to let her go.”
