FASHION CREDITS: "ABRACADABRA" M/V

Last night, during the Grammys, Lady Gaga made the monsters go wild again, by debuting her next "Mayhem" single titled "Abracadabra", alongside an incredibly crafted music video which was directed by herself in collaboration with photographer Bethany Vargas and new choreographer Parris Goebel, and is described as "a dance battle between the light and dark sides of Gaga."

The styling was done by HARDSTYLE. Hair by Frederic Aspiras and makeup by Sarah Tanno-Stewart. Photography by Robin Harper.

We're starting off totally strong! My absolute favorite piece from the video is this brutalist-inspired crimson latex cape with real nails holding it together, and black latex bodysuit underneath, both custom-made by NYC-based latex artisan Renee Masoomian.

"We reinforced the latex with a double layer before punching little holes and threading the nails through. The nails were treated with a special glue on the backside and backed with thin twine that was rubberized, and then we layered another latex reinforcement strip over the top of everything to seal and secure each nail in place."

The "Lady in Red" is also wearing a custom lace hood by Stephen Jones (more about that later) and a custom red version of the hand-sculpted spiked wide-brim leather hat (€1,350) from Berlin-based emerging designer Maximilian Gedra’s "Stalactite" Fall/Winter 2024 collection!

Her insane black latex fetish gloves with attached stiletto nails are from Balenciaga's Spring/Summer 2023 runway.

The main piece of the "Abracadabra" music video took a small village to make.

In the promotional photo, Gaga wears a custom Samuel Lewis x Suman Gurung x ILONA cape which is based on the closing number from the Givenchy Fall/Winter 1998 "Endogenous, Russian, Amazonian" Haute Couture collection, which was designed by Alexander McQueen—a baroque-inspired extraavagant white lace jacket with oversized dramatic Elizabethan collar and tiered stiffened long train.

Gaga revealed to Elle that they created this cape by upcycling old wedding dresses with the help of GALEDI!

For the dance sequence, she wears a custom Olivier Theyskens white pleather catsuit with strong shoulders, lace panels, distinctive hook-and-eye embellishments in cross formation and incorporated gloves, based on his Spring/Summer 1999 collection. Costume designer Seth Pratt created this piece with the help of GALEDI! The suit originally came with built-in boots but were cut off due to movement reasons.

Stylists Hunter Clem and Genesis Webb dressed all of the dancers in looks from Gaga's personal archive, including deadstock fabrics with the help of costume designer. Gaga said "we also used deadstock fabric for the dancer’s clothes. That's fabric that's been in warehouses for long periods of time. And we also use pieces from my archive; so old costumes are reinterpreted."

Some of the looks were created by Orchid Sattelite and E.I.N.III by Efrain Nava with accessories and clothing by emerging designer Soma Faitanin including the batwing shirt, opera gloves and short gloves from his Fall/Winter 2023 "Chagrin Canon" collection. Some of the white strappy leather accessories are custom Zana Bayne.

One of my all-time favorite dance scene looks has to be this crooked man-inspired one!

The red lacing bodysuit with padded hips, lacing sleeves, and destroyed moiré silk bustle skirt, was custom-made for the video by Samuel Lewis and Seth Pratt!

I promised you that we'd talk about her headpiece. The red floral lace hood and matching boater hat with overlapping cut brim is a bespoke Stephen Jones design for our girl!

Matching red lace gloves were custom-made by Wing & Weft Gloves.

Another custom design are her Sugar Jones red patent leather boots with silver-tone hardware embellishment by Chrome Hearts (pictured in white).

The black dancers, also called the "Mistresses", are all wearing custom E.I.N.III black jackets,skirts and lace hoods with custom Zana Bayne leather lace-up bodysuits underneath, and tilted headpieces by Manny Robertson.

For the final dance scene, Gaga changed into a white frayed bandage-inspired corset dress adorned with faux chiffon and crinoline moths embellished with feather antennaes and rabbit fur puffs, designed by Samuel Lewis and custom-made for her by Iggy Soliven in collaboration with Oberon Alexander. The moths were made and hand-painted by Ariel Brickman!

The epic silver cross necklace which is made of little Gaga heads depicting her Oscars 2019 look was custom-made by DOSIS G6C for her.

The Marías - Run Your Mouth

Bethany Vargas directs the video Run Your Mouth by American indie pop band from Los Angeles, California, The Marías. The song is lifted from their forthcoming album Submarine, which is set for release on the 31st May 2024. They are comprised Puerto Rican-bred, Atlanta-raised María Zardoya on vocals and Los Angeles native Josh Conway on the drums. The two are joined by their closest friends, Jesse Perlman on guitar and Edward James on keyboards.

when we talk about everything that happened would rather sit around i don’t need a lesson you’d just call me out call me when i’m distant always run your mouth i don’t wanna listen

you’re on my case won’t you stop with that look on your face i can’t believe that you only hold me when i’m on my knees

got me so tied up when you push my luck thought you wanted this to last for life got me so fed up when you talk too much when your focus is all out of line

all the shit you put me through put me through and now you’re talking bout me too and i know that i could never get away from you i’ll wait for you to turn around and talk it through but we won’t

KAYTRANADA AND CHILDISH GAMBINO STAR IN "WITCHY" MUSIC VIDEO

KAYTRANADA releases the video for "Witchy" starring himself and Childish Gambino. The video for the fan-favorite song from his 2024 album TIMELESS is directed by Bethany Vargas, who also conceptualized the album's acclaimed visualizers, and finds KAYTRANADA and Childish Gambino reunited to perform the song in a supernatural setting.

The video's release arrives in the midst of KAYTRANADA's celebrated TIMELESS North American tour, which stops in Philadelphia tonight ahead of a pair of shows at New York's Forest Hills Stadium this week.

The current tour continues to cement KAYTRANADA as one of dance music's most premiere global acts -- one that can earn praise for his album from the likes of DJ Mag, The FADER, Hypebeast, NPR, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, SPIN and countless others -- while also being able to present fans a fully-realized live show, honed carefully over the last decade of headline touring and a run opening for The Weeknd's After Hours Til Dawn tour.

The TIMELESS tour also features KAYTRANADA’s collaborator Channel Tres as a special guest across all dates and appearances from Amaarae, Sam Gellaitry, Kitty Ca$h and Lou Phelps in select cities. Watch the video for "Witchy" above now and see below for all upcoming KAYTRANADA live dates.
