Lady Gaga is back, baby.
The 38-year-old pop star served up a healthy dose of nostalgia with an OG Gaga-esque look for the premiere of her new HBO concert special, Ball Gaga Chromatica. On the red carpet on Thursday, May 23, the singer wore a white Selva ensemble with a metal cage and ear detailing that recalled the highlight of some of her wilder outfits.
Taking to Instagram, Gaga shared her thoughts on the outfit, writing, “On the red carpet I told them it was a car part. They said what kind and I said I don’t know, I’m not a mechanic.”
The star’s beauty was also reminiscent of the daring avant-garde style that launched her into superstardom in the early 2010s. Her faded eyebrows and black hair (with baby bangs) echoed her previous albums like Born this way and A monster of famewhile her colorful makeup look was a nod to her Artpop era.
Fans on Instagram were quick to call out the look’s similarities to Gaga’s memorable fashion moments from the past.

“This look kind of has the energy of all your albums/eras,” said another. “You are CRAZY and we love you for it. MY MOTHER!”
Before heading to the premiere, Gaga shared a behind-the-scenes video of her eyebrow bleaching process. In the selfie, the singer has plastic foil over her eyebrows, which are smeared with bleaching dye. She also has bleach blonde hair, signaling that her red carpet hair look was a wig, though that’s certainly not unusual for Gaga.
