LADY GAGA CELEBRATES SNL50 IN SAINT LAURENT, ON AURA TOUT VU & MORE

The SNL50: The Homecoming Concert was a star-studded spectacle last night! After days of rehearsals, Lady Gaga took the stage, delighting the audience with performances of some of SNL’s most iconic comedy songs, before delivering a powerful rendition of her hit "Shallow".

Firstly, our girl was seen arriving to the venue.

Judging by her recent brand pulls, her outfit‘s silhouette, drop shoulders, length and slit in the back, Gaga‘s coat is most likely this Khaite Blake double-breasted, floor-length black cotton-blend and satin weave coat with peaked lapels ($4,068).

Shop:

Khaite "Blake" Coat ($4,068.00)

Her black patent platform pumps with pointed-toe are the Uma by Le Silla ($862).

Lady Gaga took the stage alongside Andy Samberg and other SNL stars, wearing the noir re-embroidered lace trumpet gown with soft V-neck and spaghetti straps ($7,995) from Monique Lhuillier‘s Fall/Winter 2024 lookbook.

Shop:

Monique Lhuillier Lace Gown ($7,995.00)

Gaga then changed into a gathered mini dress (I have yet to find) with a ruffled and tiered maxi skirt with smocked basque waist ($7,000) from Saint Laurent‘s Resort 2025 collection. The skirt is also available in the colors “Vert” and “Marron”.

For the afterparty, Gaga exchanged her mini dress for a sheer draped scarf neck blouse from Khaite's Spring/Summer 2025 collection and threw on the most amazing black sequin and rhinestone-embellished chevron quilted silk overcoat with strong pagoda shoulders from On Aura Tout Vu‘s Spring/Summer 2024 "Illusions" Haute Couture collection.

The show notes say: "Each creation is a unique visual experience, a living work of art where the real and the imaginary merge. Explore constantly evolving realities, born of changing perceptions. In this universe, the mysteries that surround us prompt us to question our certainties, to marvel and to reconsider our vision of the world."

Shop:

Khaite “Saphra” Coat ($3,800.00)

Gaga accessorized her look with a feathered hat from New York Vintage's in-house millinery, and the Moray cat-eye sunglasses from Giant Vintage she wore throughout the evening.

Aside from some Saint Laurent and emerging designers, Gaga seems to have indulged in a little Balenciaga shopping spree, marking this as her second purse from the Spanish fashion house in just a week.

This is their sold-out Neo Cagole medium tote bag in crocodile-embossed black calfskin leather with gold-tone hardware, heart-shaped mirror and long eyelet straps ($2,690).

Lastly, the Italian-American fashionista accessorized her look these Christian Louboutin Lady Peep Suola black satin peep-toe pumps with strass bottoms ($2,795).

LADY GAGA STUNS IN KHAITE S/S25 LOOK

I promised you earlier that we'd talk about her second look of the day which she showcased while leaving SNL50 rehearsals. So here we go!

Continuing her streak of wearing all-black ensembles, Lady Gaga stepped out in a very youthfully nautical, sailor-inspired look from Khaite‘s Spring/Summer 2025 runway.

It included their freshly-dropped Nando cropped, strong-shouldered jacket in smooth, double-faced crepe with notched lapels ($2,480).

Shop:

Khaite "Nando" Jacket ($2,480.00)

Gaga accessorized her look with a black pleated pillbox hat with bow from New York Vintage, and the Moray cat-eye sunglasses from Giant Vintage.

I’d be lying if I said that innovative shoe designer Thom Solo and I haven’t been chit-chatting and speculating for days about when Gaga would finally rock his Opera platform heels ($695). Glad we finally got some closure!

Shop:

Thom Solo "Opera" Pumps ($695.00)

Willie Mays, one of the greatest ballplayers in history, died today at the age of 93. He was one of the dominant figures in the golden age of New York baseball, when the Giants, the Dodgers, and the Yankees battled for supremacy. From 1947 to the Giants' and Dodgers' final season in New York in 1957, at least one of those three teams played in 10 of 11 World Series, and won 9 of them.

His stats are astonishing. Over his 22 years in the majors, he had a .301 batting average. He had 3,293 hits, including 660 home runs. His 7,112 putouts as an outfielder rank No. 1 in major league history, and he had 657 more playing first base. He stole 338 bases at a time when base stealing was not as common as it is now. He batted in 1,909 runs. Beginning in 1957, the year the title was created, he won 12 Gold Gloves.

But more than his statistics was his infectious joy in playing. He greeted everyone with "Say hey" and became known as the Say Hey Kid.

“Willie could do everything from the day he joined the Giants,” said Leo Durocher, his manager during most of his years at the Polo Grounds. “He never had to be taught a thing. The only other player who could do it all was Joe DiMaggio.” And DiMaggio said of him, "Willie Mays is the closest to being perfect I’ve ever seen."

Above: Willie's famous catch in the 1954 World Series at the Polo Grounds on September 29, 1954. His over-the-shoulder catch made while running is considered to be one of the greatest plays in baseball history. The score was tied at 2-2, and not only did he prevent a home run, he threw the ball in to the infield, preventing runners on base from scoring. The Giants went on to sweep the Cleveland Indians in four games.
