Christmas came early for fans of Lady Gaga as the pop icon unveiled a stunning new look during her appearance on Apple TV+’s A Carpool Karaoke Christmas. Known for her chameleonic style transformations, Gaga did not disappoint, stepping out with a hairdo reminiscent of Cindy Lou Who, the beloved character from Dr. Seuss’s classic Christmas tales.
During her joyride with host Zane Lowe, Gaga showcased her latest hairstyle that seemed straight out of Whoville. The star debuted vibrant strawberry blonde locks styled into big, bouncy curls and a dramatic beehive half-up, half-down look that added a fantastical twist fitting for the holiday season.
A Fashion Nod to Cindy Lou Who
Lady Gaga’s outfit was as much a part of her transformation as her hair. She sported a striking ensemble that echoed Cindy Lou’s whimsical attire, featuring a black button-down shirt with bold, structured shoulders and a high collar, accented with orange-and-white stripes. The look was completed with a gray pleated A-line miniskirt, knee-high fishnet socks, and eye-catching gray platform heels with a vibrant red sole and chunky wedge heels. The ensemble was accessorized simply with a massive diamond engagement ring, underscoring the festive yet elegant vibe.
Her makeup matched the playful and animated theme, with glowy face makeup, a peachy lip, and black winged eyeliner complemented by a silver gem under each eye, and a glossy clear manicure.
Gaga’s Merry Musical Offerings
Not only did Gaga’s appearance on the Christmas special feature her show-stopping new look, but it also included performances of cult classic carols that had both the audience and host Zane Lowe in high spirits. The show provided a perfect platform for Gaga to merge her musical talents with her unparalleled flair for theatrical fashion.
In true Gaga fashion, her look for the night was likely a carefully chosen wig, as she was seen in different hairstyles throughout the special. An Instagram post later revealed her second look of the evening—a stark contrast featuring a gothic Victorian-style gown with a jacquard print and dramatic puffy sleeves, complete with a wide black choker adorned with a gold-and-emerald charm. This ensemble showcased a vampier side of Gaga, with dark, smoky eyes and sleek black hair.
The Ever-Evolving Style of Lady Gaga
This holiday season, Lady Gaga proved once again why she remains a style icon, constantly pushing boundaries and embracing new influences. Her ability to transform from pop superstar to a whimsical character from a beloved children’s book illustrates her unique talent for reinvention and performance art.
