Lady Gaga Puts a Feminine Spin on the Classic Tuxedo at the 2022 Oscars

Thus far, the 2022 awards circuit has delivered some of Lady Gaga's most glamorous looks yet. From a dazzling emerald green Ralph Lauren gown at the BAFTAs to a lacy avant-garde Gucci dress at the Critic's Choice Awards, her high-fashion streak is showing no signs of slowing down.

While presenting at tonight's annual Academy Awards ceremony alongside Liza Minelli, the actress had a feminine spin on the classic black-and-white tuxedo, which she accessorized with diamond necklaces and earrings, black pumps, and a black bow tie.

The Academy surprised fans when Gaga was not included among the Best Actress nominees for her role as Patrizia Reggiani in Ridley Scott's House of Gucci.

The film did, however, nab one nomination for Best Makeup and Hairstyling. Gaga congratulated hairstylist Frederic Aspiras for the honor in a February Instagram post.

"I could not be happier for a man I call my brother, who I've worked with for the last 15 years, @fredericaspiras, for his nomination in Makeup & Hairstyling for House of Gucci," she wrote. "Frederic was magical, precise, and dedicated months leading up to shoot and during filming. He prepared dozens of wigs for months and months, and did at least a year of preparation. He's a living genius and Freddie, we are all so grateful to just even be near your talent, creativity and generosity of spirit. You continue to show your artistic DNA, your plan, your vision, and your deep connection to your family that drives you to excellence at all times. I love you, I'm rooting for you."

She also added a note congratulating the rest of this year's nominees.

"And to all the nominees this year, congratulations on all your hard work, dedication, your nomination and YOUR magic—you all deserve major recognition for what was a truly beautiful landscape of performances and accomplishments this past year," Gaga continued. "Your dedication during Covid, your huge hearts, and your ability to tell amazing stories is a gift to the whole world during what is for many a very hard time. Congratulations my friends. Bravo!"

Gaga took home her first Oscar in 2019, winning in the Best Original Song category for the hit song "Shallow" in A Star Is Born. That same year, she was also a Best Actress nominee for her role as Ally in the Bradley Cooper-helmed film.
