The fruit, flowers, insects and birds on the gown fit the dress code of the night, 'The Garden of Time', inspired by J.G. Ballard's 1962 short story (explained here by the BBC).

The gown also references John Galliano’s Spring 1999 couture collection for Dior, in particular the gown below, decorated with grapes.

Maison Margiela said:

'A sage lamé bias-cut ‘siren dress’ overlaid with iridescent electric blue organza with ‘retrograding’ in undulating bands of hand-painted metallic crin, swathed in an aluminium material and iridescent organza drape and bow, with a corsage hand-embroidered in a bacchanal of hand-painted impasto in the grammar of the electric blues and emerald greens of scarab amulets, with formations of birds, flowers, vines, grapes and nuts, worn over a boudoir-coloured duchess satin corset. A silver metal-wire ‘reverse swatching’ hat and a black hand-painted voile crafted in the memory of plume and enveloped in matching coloured stockings by Stephen Jones for Maison Margiela, and Eau de Nil velour and faux lizard Tabi interlaced ankle-strap pumps by Christian Louboutin for Maison Margiela.

Created for Zendaya by John Galliano for Maison Margiela, the haute couture silhouette was inspired by the 1930s mythological works of the photographer Madame Yevonde and imbued with the memory of the orgiastic sceneries of the bacchanals of Ancient Greece. In a dance between painterly cutting and draping techniques – unique to each layer of the construction – and the superposition of fabric textures such as tin foil with transparent iridescent organza overlay, the composition conjures the staccato brushstrokes of Giovanni Boldini. The bias-cut ‘siren dress’ is a key expression in the creative practice of John Galliano, which first appeared at Maison Margiela in the Spring-Summer 2020 Artisanal Collection. Infused with a certain ‘snobisme’, the look is given the epithet of ‘86 and Lexington’, a nod to the subway station near The Met.

The dress was crafted with ‘retrograding’, a technique through which variations of thread-work, appliqué or encrustation degrade from the bottom to the top of a garment like the linear base drawing of a painting that hasn’t yet been finished. The ‘reverse swatching’ technique employed in the hat exchanges the fabrics traditionally used for certain parts of dressmaking with materials of a contrasting value.' X

LADY GAGA WEARS DIOR COUTURE & PHILIP TREACY TO "JOKER: FOLIE À DEUX" MOVIE SCREENING

It's a big day! Lady Gaga stepped out for the premiere of her new film, "Joker: Folie à Deux", at the 2024 Venice Film Festival held at the Sala Grande in Venice, Italy. 

Styling done by Tom Eerebout and Sandra Amador. Hair by Frederic Aspiras and glam by Sarah Tanno-Stewart.

Lady Gaga stole the spotlight at the first premiere, wearing a custom jaw-dropping Dior Haute Couture by Maria Grazia Chiuri look that definitely left tongues wagging all around the world.

This piece, which took over 850 hours to create, features a plush black velvet criss-cross back corset and a 3D curvilinear ballgown skirt with wire reinforcement and tulle!

She truly brought the crème de la crème of fashion with her to Venice.

Arrived hours prior to her appearance, Gaga wore the iconic Philip Treacy Fall/Winter 2001 lace wing headpiece which was personally worn by the iconic Isabella "Izzie" Blow herself!

Both her white-gold and diamond starfish statement earrings...

...and Star Urchin necklace with Imperial topaz, marquise diamonds of over 8 carats and 896 round brilliant diamonds of 22 total carats, are from the 2023 Blue Book collection titled "Out of the Blue".

Previously also worn at the Oscars last year, she opted for the "Victoria" collection diamond cluster bracelet.

She also added her custom Giuseppe Zanotti black satin platform boots with square toe!

For the screening, Lady Gaga changed into a custom Dior Haute Couture black silk taffeta high-low ballgown with overcrossed bustier reminiscing vintage 1950s CD gowns, and a custom Stephen Jones mini felt beret fascinator with veil.

For the after party, she added a custom Dior asymmetrical boxy wool coat in black.
