As a connoisseur of art and pop culture, I find Lady Gaga’s latest teaser for her upcoming project to be nothing short of mesmerizing. The way she seamlessly blends iconic imagery from Joker and the Louvre’s Mona Lisa is pure genius. Her ability to weave together highbrow and lowbrow culture, much like the jester in a medieval court, is both captivating and thought-provoking.


On Thursday morning, Lady Gaga embodied the character of Harley Quinn while attending the UK photo call for “The Joker: Folie à Deux” held at the Corinthia Hotel in London.

At the event, the actress, aged 38, was accompanied by her co-star Joaquin Phoenix. Together, they struck poses for photographs on a rooftop, with the beautiful cityscape serving as the backdrop in these snapshots.

Lady Gaga, the artist known for her hit song “Bad Romance,” was stunning when she put on a mini dress featuring a black-and-white checkered pattern. The dress had a collar made of white lace and three-quarter length sleeves.

Instead, she chose a set of translucent, white thigh-high socks and elevated her stature with a pair of tall black platform shoes.

The actress, undeterred by the British drizzle, sported her fiery-hued hair in a stylishly short crop and chose a striking shade of red lipstick.

She appeared cheerful, flashing a grin widely as she struck numerous poses, donning a pair of dark shades.

In the upcoming psychological thriller, Lady Gaga plays the lead character Harley, while Joaquin Phoenix continues his portrayal of the Joker, set to become Batman’s future enemy.

At the photoshoot, Joaquin presented a relaxed image wearing a black zip-up hoodie that coordinated with his tracksuit pants. He finished off the look with Converse sneakers.

The stars were later joined by director Todd Phillips as the trio beamed for snaps together. 

Lady Gaga’s style showcase for the movie, following the less-than-favorable reviews for her previous major film “House of Gucci” (released in 2021), has been exceptionally well-received.

The eagerly awaited sequel, titled “Folie à Deux,” is a continuation of the 2019 movie, “Joker,” which garnered an Academy Award and grossed over $1 billion worldwide, making it the highest-earning R-rated film in history.

On October 4, the next installment is scheduled to be released, where we find Arthur Fleck confined in Arkham Asylum, waiting for his trial following his alleged criminal activities as the Joker.

In his battle with his twofold personality, Arthur unexpectedly discovers true affection and uncovers the music that had been hidden within him all along, as revealed in a recent press statement.

Following the hint at a new rock-n-roll song titled “The Joker” shared by Lady Gaga in an Instagram video on Wednesday.

Initially, in the opening scene, Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (known as Lady Gaga) donned a short, fiery red wig and a dress featuring a blue and white pattern.

She finished off her outfit with a pair of polka dot tights and black and white Converse sneakers.

The vocalist positioned herself close to the balcony’s edge, admiring the Louvre that glowed brightly under the night sky.

As she began to walk away, Lady Gaga sang, ‘There’s always a joker in the pack, there’s always a lonely clown.’

The teaser then cut to the songstress dancing inside the dimly lit museum as she began to make her way down concrete steps – similar to Joaquin Phoenix’s stair dance scene in Joker (2019).

She walked down a long, dark hallway while surrounded by various paintings as the star continued to belt out lyrics in the background.

‘The hapless jester, who’s not rich, tumbles over when he’s at a low point, causing more laughter among the crowd.’

After leaving the first empty room at the Louvre, the actress who starred in A Star Is Born stepped into another, whereupon discovering a specific work of art, a faint yet genuine grin appeared on her visage.

‘And everyone laughs at him just the same. They don’t see his lonely heartbreak,’ she continued to sing.

Lady Gaga angled her head slightly and leisurely approached the renowned Mona Lisa artwork, crafted by Leonardo da Vinci.

The star flashed a bigger grin and waved – but her smile faded as she looked into the eyes of the Mona Lisa.

After that, she retrieved a red lipstick and traced the Joker’s smile onto the protective cover in front of the Mona Lisa, aiming to make her resemble the Joker with a similar grin.

‘They couldn’t care less, as long as there’s someone to entertain them, a clown or a fool. No matter how foolish he acts, there’s always one around, that’s the way it goes! Yet, life seems to have dealt me this role. The jester, it appears, is me.’

Lady Gaga turned to depart while casting a final glance at the artwork, unveiling a Harley Quinn-styled makeup look on her face.

As she danced, she raised her arms above her head while exiting the deserted Louvre Museum, with the movie wrapping up behind her.

To summarize, it’s been disclosed that an exhibit titled “Figures of the Fool” at the Louvre will start in the upcoming month, specifically on October 16th.

As a devoted admirer, I am thrilled to share that, based on information from the official site, this museum is set to unveil an extraordinary exhibition unlike any other. This exhibit will delve into the diverse characters of the fool, which significantly influenced artwork spanning the 13th to the 16th centuries.

As your trusted lifestyle guide, I’d like to share a little insight from my recent visit to the Louvre. There’s always that intriguing character, the Joker, who seems to pop up in every corner of life, much like how he does in the famous painting ‘Les Noces de la Grenouille’ or ‘The Marriage of the Frog – Man’. #FiguresDuFou #Louvre #JokerMovie
