Lady Gaga Channels Harley Quinn in Vogue US October 2024 by Ethan James Green AOC Fashion

Lady Gaga states the obvious in her Vogue US cover fashion story, October 2024 issue.

“Harley Quinn is a character people know.”

Gaga wears Maison Margiela Artisanal designed by John Galliano [creme above] and a Balenciaga 53rd Couture coat [blue below] on her second cover, styled by Alex Harrington and lensed by Ethan James Green [IG].

With all the fan-related resources Gaga brings to her role as the psychologist turned turned villain in ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’, it seems totally plausible that Gaga’s unusually-fine mind and empathetic persona — combined with years of deep connection to those who view life through the lens of Gaga’s own — have armed her with the capacity to make the most of Harley Quinn’s crossing over to the ‘other side’.

The new ‘Joker’ debuted in Venice last week to mixed reviews. Some criticism is that the film is dull — first and foremost — because Gaga is sidelined and underused. Reviewing probably eight commentaries, no critic suggests that Gaga herself isn’t magnificent in ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’, opening in US theaters the first week in October.

Jonathan Van Meter interviews Gaga — and the writer reflects on the many times her has been in her presence, including his first sighting in 2010. It’s fitting in this ‘Joker’ drama moment:

The first time I laid eyes on her in December 2010, she was barefoot, covered in fake blood, mascara running down her face, wearing a robe made of voluminous red feathers—like a cross between Alice Cooper and Big Bird, I wrote. She was dressed like a lunatic and—you guessed it—behaving like one. On another occasion—in another astounding frock, hair in a Bride-of-Frankenstein updo—she had on shoes that made her feet look like they were screwed on backward and brought her up to nearly my height . . .

Surely, AOC readers know that Lady Gaga is engaged to her five-year love Michael Polansky.

Gaga’s mother Cynthia Germanotta, who runs the Born This Way Foundation, a nonprofit focused primarily on supporting young people’s mental health that Gaga and she created in 2012 was the matchmaker.
