Lady Gaga stuns at the UK premiere of The Joker: Folie à Deux

by · Mail Online

The critics may well have savaged her last offering, but Lady Gaga had the last laugh on Wednesday evening as London welcomed the UK premiere of her new film, Joker: Folie à Deux. 

The singer turned actress takes a starring role as Harley Quinn in the psychological thriller, in which Joaquin Phoenix reprises his role as the titular Joker - Batman's soon-to-be nemesis. 

Arriving at CIneworld Leicester Square alongside ever-supportive fiancé Michael Polansky, Gaga looked incredible in a custom-made gown from Celine by Hedi Slimane as she greeted fans. 

The incredible structured number featured dramatic shoulder pads and a plunging neckline which showed off her figure as she posed up a storm. 

Gaga's fashion parade for the film has been a resounding success at least after her last big film House of Gucci released in 2021 was savaged by critics.

At the Joker premiere she wore her dyed-red tresses in a short cropped style and wore blue eye makeup complete with perfect sequin detailing on one side of her face.

Meanwhile business Michael looked effortlessly dapper in a black suit, crisp white shirt and tie as he put his arm around his future wife.

She gazed adoringly at Michael as she flashed her enormous 8 carat engagement ring on the star-studded red carpet.

Folie à Deux will see Joaquin, 49, reprise his role as Arthur Fleck AKA Joker and he arrived to the premiere in a black jacket and tie.

It is the much-anticipated follow-up to 2019's Academy Award-winning Joker, which earned more than $1 billion at the global box office and remains the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time.

Set for release on October 4, the second instalment finds Arthur Fleck institutionalised at Arkham awaiting trial for his crimes as Joker.

'While struggling with his dual identity, Arthur not only stumbles upon true love, but also finds the music that's always been inside him,' a press release shared.

Lady Gaga has been supported by her fiancé Michael in the lead up to the thriller's premiere. 

The couple was first romantically linked around New Year's Eve 2019 and later went Instagram official in early 2020.

Polansky is a 2006 graduate of Harvard University and runs Napster founder Sean Parker's Parker Group. 

Throughout their years dating, Gaga and Polansky have attended the Super Bowl, the BAFTAs, and the Critics Choice Awards together.

Wedding plans for the couple are underway and their legal plan is being negotiated.

Gaga is reportedly seeking a $900 million prenup before she walks down the aisle.

And Polansky, who has a $600 million net worth as head of The Parker Foundation, is on board.

A source close to the couple told In Touch that 'there are a lot of assets on both sides, and a prenup will just make everything clear.'

Gaga 'is worth $900 million, so of course there needs to be a prenup in place,' the insider said. 'And Michael understands that. He's not resisting it.'
