Introduction
Lady Gaga has been an icon in pop music for years now, but her latest look is particularly striking. As she stepped out in NYC, Lady Gaga bundled up in a slick black suit a classic piece for the popstar who seems to wear something new every day. Gaga accessorized the look with fishnet tights, platform shoes, and a veil. While other celebs have worn all-black suits before, it was Gaga’s veil that stole the show. The singer’s veil is reminiscent of Morticia Addams from The Addams Family – one of America’s most beloved style icons! Lady Gaga has kept a low profile since the conclusion of her Chromatica tour, but the conceptual performer was not about to let the likes of a Kardashian overshadow her as Halloween approached. Last night in Los Angeles, the artistic dresser, who once cocooned herself in a Hussein Chalayan egg for three days, went goth girl as she partied with Dom Perignon.
Gaga wore an off-the-shoulder LBD with ripped tights and her signature Pleaser stripper boots to show the champagne brand what modern Morticia glamour looks like. Gaga’s gloomy take on cocktail hour fits in with her tour’s avant-garde looks, which include Gareth Pugh tailoring inspired by the designer’s autumn/winter 2008 collection, spunky harnesses from Hon Atelier, LTZ biker leathers dating back to 2011, and custom lace bodies by Dead Lotus Couture. If her clothes were unabashedly tough, Gaga was sentimental about her collaborators, thanking hat-maker extraordinaire Stephen Jones, paying homage to Lee Alexander McQueen, and praising Daphne Guinness, who let a young Gaga run wild in her wardrobe when she first came to London.
Lady Gaga’s latest look is bold and beautiful
Lady Gaga’s latest look is bold and beautiful, but it’s also got a badass backstory. The singer has been known to pay tribute to her style icons, like when she wore blue hair on tour with Beyoncé in 2016. But this time around, the inspiration was much deeper: her childhood hero (and mother’s favorite) Morticia Addams.
The black-and-white ensemble features an embroidered collar that brings together two of Gagas’ most prominent aesthetics the dark and gothic elements that have become synonymous with her brand; along with its irreverent homage to the 1958 classic “Addams Family Values.”
As she stepped out in NYC
Her outfit was a classic black suit, which is something Gaga has worn many times before. The dress code for the evening was formal and Gaga looked elegant in her choice of footwear a pair of black stilettos with gold Buckle-style buckles.
She also wore fishnet tights under her coat and added some bling to her accessories (a necklace).

“An iconic fashion icon paired with an original song,” reads the description of Gaga’s performance on Instagram. “She was inspired by Morticia Addams from The Addams Family TV series.”
While other celebs have worn all-black suits before
While other celebrities have worn all-black suits before, it was Gaga’s veil that stole the show. It’s a classic accessory that has been seen in pop culture for years from The Wizard of Oz to Beetle juice but this time around, it adds to her Morticia look.
Whether or not you think it’s appropriate is up to your personal preference just remember: at least one person out there loves wearing veils!

Morticia Addams is a style icon. The character from The Addams Family was famous for her black clothes and long hair, which Lady Gaga adores.
Morticia’s look is inspired by the classic Morticia costume from The Addams Family and it’s no surprise that Gaga chose to channel this iconic character with her unique twist.
Morticia is a style icon in her own right
If you’re a fan of The Addams Family, then you probably know that Morticia Addams is one of the most iconic characters in the show. She was famously known for her black clothes and long hair. She even had her style icon status after being featured on TV screens across America!

- Her look is a tribute to her fashion icon, who wore similar attire and had long hair too (although hers is blue).
If you’re going to wear all black, do it like Lady Gaga.
Lady Gaga’s look is one of the most iconic looks in pop culture history, and her stylist has been channeling that style icon for years now. For example, when she performed “Million Reasons” at Coachella this year, she wore a black suit with fishnet tights and platform shoes (just like Morticia Addams would have worn). This wasn’t an accident; it was a tribute to her fashion icon and while we’re not sure what she’ll wear next time out on stage (more clothing? Or less?) we can guarantee that whatever ensemble she chooses will be just as memorable as any other time we’ve seen her rock that same outfit before!
Conclusion
Gaga’s modern Morticia look was a homage to her fashion icon, which is just as relatable today as it was when she first debuted it. She looks like she belongs in the world of fashion and not just because she’s so comfortable in her skin, but also because she has great taste!
