FASHION CREDITS: JAZZ & PIANO SHOW 4.0 PART I

Lady Gaga made a triumphant return to Las Vegas where she'll be staying until July to complete another round of her highly sought-after Jazz & Piano residency shows! And of course, she brought a whole new batch of costumes styled by Sandra Amador and Tom Eerebout along with her.

First, we‘re hopping onto our virtual plane where I‘ll be taking you to Marbella, Spain to once again meet with young fashion designer Adrián Manceras who‘s kind enough to let us take a look in his atelier where he crafted Gaga‘s opening number: a fabulous cocktail dress showered in champagne sequins, finest crystals and delicate fringe trimmings!

I can‘t help but notice how Gaga sticks to the same designer when it comes to the opening number‘s look. From headpiece down to the shoes. Yet, she changes the design every time she comes back to Vegas.

Here, she‘s donning yet another insane showgirl-inspired headdress with turkey feathers and Swarovski crystals by the ever-so talented Arturo Rios who sent me this image JUST for your eyes!

The Italian-American entertainer topped her look off with a new custom pair of Laruicci crystal statement earrings

Her favorite Jimmy Choo metallic silver Anouk stiletto pumps provided the finishing touches.

The choice of purple was as unexpected as the combination of sequins, feathers (provided by Mother Plucker Feather Company), and PVC. Yet, this look struck me the most, standing out in a sea of bold fashion statements!

Delving into La Maison Gaga reveals an intriguing history behind her glamorous wardrobe. LA-based designer Michael Costello has been crafting stunning caftans for Gaga for a decade. His journey with her began in 2014 when he designed a sequined piece similar to this one for her "Cheek to Cheek! Live" performance . This collaboration marked the start of a creative partnership that has since produced numerous iconic looks, each more dazzling than the last.

Michael also collaborated with Gladys Tamez Millinery on the halo-like black feather pillbox headpiece!

New York City-based heritage jewelry brand A.JAFFE created some of the earrings, including these teardrop stunners!

Gaga surprised her audience last night with a special rendition of "Americano". It‘s been 12 years since she performed that song!

For this act of the show, Perry Meek whipped out a stunning dress even Jessica Rabbit wouldn't pass upon.

Crafted from red crystal mesh, this dress features an off-the-shoulder hourglass silhouette, trimmed with red ostrich feathers. And it comes with a matching coat!

Her Harriet wired red feather fascinator is a hand-made piece by Carrie Jenkinson Millinery ($331.79), one of the UK's leading fashion milliners.

This white-gold crescent earring set surrounded by differently cut diamonds is another A.JAFFE design.

And I hope I’m not the only one who‘s drooling over these Jimmy Choo Romy crystal-encrusted red pumps.

Then, Gaga stuns on stage in a total Giorgio Armani look which comprises this plush black velvet strapless bustier column dress with crystal band embellishment ($4,777) and the Fall/Winter 2018 Privé Haute Couture pink ostrich feather coat she previously wore for her V Magazine 2019 cover!

Gaga's MUA Sarah Tanno-Stewart collaborated with Face Lace on all the differently designed crystal eye stickers for the residency!

LG debuted a bunch of new looks on her second night and the uber-talented Michael Costello had another wonder up his sleeve when he revealed this stunner to me yesterday morning - a custom sparkly black and gold sequin silk chiffon caftan with incorporated metal belt, shoulder pads, plunging neck and daring open sides, based on Michael's upcoming "DNA" collection!

He also created her matching custom ruched faux leather gloves and feather boa in collaboration with Mother Plucker Feather Company.

What's a good jazz stage look without a fun plummeted hat to top it off? British milliner Carrie Jenkinson Millinery made sure to exceed stagewear standards with her Spring/Summer 2024 Selina feather hat (£520).

Her go-to performance shoes: the timeless Jimmy Choo Anouk black patent leather pumps ($675).

Malaysian couture design house Rizman Ruzaini joined the game by crafting a show-stopping red chiffon cape dress showered in Swarovski crystals. Thanks so much for these exclusive behind-the-seams photos!

She also brought back her Jose & Maria Barrera vintage 1993 “Crystal Evening” runway crystal necklace.

Gaga gave us an epic performance of "La Vie En Rose", dressed in rose silk satin caftan-style layered dress with stripped coque feathers, custom-made for her by Ukrainian fashion label Santa Brands.

This look was completed with a bunch of stellar accessories, including the Carrie Jenkinson Millinery Spring/Summer 2024 Valencia exploding feather fascinator (£579)...

...the Swarovski Millenia octagon-cut crystal bib necklace...

... and the Cornelia James Melissa opera-length black velvet gloves (£160).

If the dress from the third night's opening seems familiar to you, it's because she's worn this custom Natali Germanotta x Debra Cooper blue sequin fringed cocktail number back in 2019 before!

This look got a black version of the aforementioned Arturo Rios turkey feather and Swarovski crystal headpiece.

It‘s Michael Costello‘s world and we‘re just living in it! His third custom dress for our girl's third night is this uuuuuultra sexy black satin number with one-shoulder caftan silhouette, trimmed with luxurious ostrich feathers by Mother Plucker Feather Company and featuring beaded appliqués on the shoulder and waist.

It was finished off with this vintage Philip Treacy 1996 black feather firework headpiece which has already been previously worn by Gaga back in London in 2015!

For the fourth show (June 29), LG brought out another Michael Costello x Mother Plucker Feather Company confection — a black-as-the-night satin caftan, showered in small jet crystals and trimmed with feathers.

It was only a matter of time before she brought out a fairytale headpiece by milliner Piers Atkinson.

From his archives, she opted for the Fall/Winter 2021 "Triptych" collection elevated black ostrich feather pompom fascinator with beaded tassels.

Mouse Brown Silk Velvet Pillbox Hat, 1940-49

Soft pillbox hat (round brimless hat) embroidered with wooden rosettes (painted red, charcoal, ocher, olive) secured with glass-beaded strings.

Now it’s on to the (many) accessories. First, we have the crown. Used some gold pleather to make the sections (and stitched in my fold lines). This plus a gathered pillow of red velvet went on a pillbox shape and then I went nuts with the bling.

Cassie for scale.

an incomplete list of hats gomez!master has been known to wear (some of these are canon, some of them i made up. go on, guess <3)

the classic berries-and-sticks hat

top hat (with a velvet band and generally accompanying a marlene dietrich tux; usually toward the end of her tenure, when she's exploring into other modes of femininity)

blue rubber duckie hat with yellow sash aka the best fashion decision to grace the modern world, not to mention practical for when you want to punctuate a monologue by removing the remains of a rubber duck from your sabre and crushing it in your glove.

dead rat hat. taxidermied rat with googly eyes. wide brimmed, naturally, to accommodate the rat. his name is henry. do you care for him? say yes.

jaunty little pillbox fascinator in a deep purple.

boater hat she stole off a gondolier in new new venice. whenever she wears it she is inclined to speak in an obnoxious italian accent.

I may not be interested in Vesa Romantically (I'm waaay too in love with Narciso to try another path 🥹, I will try but currently that beautiful old man has all my heart 🫶), I definitely wants to be besties with Vesa though 🥂. It would be great to have friends I can talk about fashion makeup and be chaotic with LOL, God knows I need some chaos and mayhem in my life 😹. So can I have a little scenario where MC and Vesa is going on a shopping spree just having absolute fun together? 🛍️ Thanks Niko 🫰

Aw, such a sweet message - Vesa wants to be your bestie, too! I'm very happ that you like her (and the beautiful old man Narciso, of course!) Your main character with Narciso as their partner and Vesa as their best friend would be a great team, I'm sure! And indeed, one needs some fashion, chaos, and mayhem from time to time, haha.

Here is the scenario:

The afternoon is dark already - practical during wintertime, when you want to visit the little shops and stores while being dressed for the weather at the same time. In summer, they would have closed long before darkness had had the time to set in.

Next to you, Vesa walks, a smile upon her red lips. She seems to be in a chipper mood; she had been looking forward to spend time with you, just the two of you together, and she certainly approved of your idea when you suggested a shopping spree. You're happy, too, both because of the fun activity, and because the friendship between Vesa and you keep growing and growing. You have become fast friends.

"Do you have any suggestions?" you ask. You have bought a little bit of this and a little bit of that already, and so has Vesa, but you have a feeling that the both of you are far from finished. "You know the city better than I, after all," you continue. "Do you have any favourite store that you would like to show me?"

"Oh, I do," she replies. "It's a fun one! They sell clothes, but it isn't as boringly trendy as many shops tend to be at the moment... Of course the people of the city are well dressed, but it becomes dull after a while, don't you think? Everyone looking the same?"

She's quite correct; you often see the same cuts and colours all over the city. As you talk, she shows you into a small store, your field of vision immediately filling with all sorts of fabrics. Lace, velvet, cotton, silk. Delicate fabrics and sturdy, practical ones.

"Good evening and welcome," the clerk says. "Is there anything in particular you're looking for, or are you merely soaking the sight in?"

"The latter, for now," you reply, dragging your fingers across the soft fabric of a quite eye-catching scarf.

"How about a new hat?" Vesa says. "Perhaps the need is more acute during the warmer seasons... shielding our skin and such... Yet, it's always good to be prepared, no?" She grins. "...or perhaps I simply want to see you in a variety of hats, for fun. Perhaps that's my ulterior motive." She immediately puts an almost comically wide-brimmed hat on the top of your head. Ulterior motives indeed. You snort.

"How do I look?"

"Gorgeous, of course." Vesa smirks, pointing to a mirror right behind you, and you almost snort again seeing your reflection. You're more hat than human right now.

"Perhaps I would be, if one could actually see me," you reply.

"Is this better?" She removes it, putting it back, exchanging it for a tall, classical top hat. "Oh, I think so myself! You're awfully dapper!"

"At least one can see my face now," you reply, smirking. At least this one doesn't look comical on you. You have some style. Yet, there are more hats to try out, and instead, you put it on Vesa's head, to see how she looks. Quite dapper, too. "Not bad," you conclude, nodding.

"Not too bad... You look better in it, but I don't look too bad either!"

You don't need to grab any hats for yourself; Vesa is all too eager to see you in every kind they got. A dainty little pillbox hat. One with an almost vulgar amount of lace, that manages to be surprisingly pretty even so. A feathery headpiece, not looking too unlike Vesa's own style. Colourful hats, and more plain and discreet ones. You try them on, and she tries them on; exchanging both laughs and admiring gazes. The clerk seems quite patient - they must be used to people doing this. Or perhaps they're simply used to Vesa, seeing as she seems to be a rather regular customer.

It takes a while, but eventually you settle for a new hat - you simply couldn't leave the store without buying anything, and that one flattered your face greatly - and Vesa for yet another headpiece. A fun afternoon indeed, and even still, the two of you are far from finished.

i said i would do these character-development questions for jack fairy, and i did 🫢

1. what is the character’s go-to drink order? a botanical cocktail, usually with gin or absinthe. sazerac, aviation, dirty martini, etc.

2. what is their grooming routine? extensive! most of their beauty routines aren’t unusual for their era — they use cold cream as a cleanser, and have an array of biba, lancôme, and chanel cosmetics — but they go the extra mile doing shit like pushing back their cuticles and taking primrose supplements. they color their hair with henna every two weeks, since it’s naturally a light, warm cinnamon-brown. facial hair is a dysphoria trigger for them, so they shave first thing every morning, often before any overnight guests see them. they also religiously shave or wax basically all of their body hair (not typical for the ‘70s), though this is something they start to relax post-glam when they’re in a steady relationship. grooming straddles a line between being deeply affirming for them and fraught with expectations of perfection.

3. what was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go? jack has a mix of cheap and extravagantly expensive things. they aren’t used to having as much money as they do now, so they still mostly live frugally, but in moments of stress they’ve been known to make some…less frugal purchases. they once bought an original salvador dali watercolor because they were fighting with malcolm. their black patent leather duster is a £2,000 custom piece from ossie clark. (also in general they love to spoil malcolm… he’ll say he’s cold and jack will be back in 10 minutes with a new fur coat.)

4. do they have any scars or tattoos? not exactly a scar, but one of their canine teeth is broken from a punch to the jaw (it has a porcelain crown). they also have miscellaneous knicks from childhood beatings, though you wouldn’t know unless you were looking for them.

5. what was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances? jack learned very young that things are better for them when they don’t cry, or at least don’t show it. they’re a bottler of emotions for sure. they get vivid, disorienting trauma dreams though and will sometimes cry when they wake up. this was how malcolm first saw them in tears.

6. are they an oldest, middle, youngest, or only child? they’re an only child, which was slightly unusual in an irish catholic household in the 1940s. their mother was in poor health and was never able to carry another baby to term.

7. describe the shoes they’re wearing. heeled chelsea boots in black patent leather, a little scuffed and dirty from walking around berlin.

8. describe the place where they sleep. jack’s bedroom has always felt like one of the few spaces that’s entirely their own, where as a queer person they aren’t going to be told to exist differently, and they treasure that. it feels very personal — soft and dark, with satin pillows and velvet drapes and deep green art nouveau wallpaper with a pattern of water lilies. smells like cigarettes and musky, herbal perfume. they have a bunch of dried bouquets and candles and a huge gilt-frame mirror they found on the street. their siamese cat maila is usually there too.

9. what is their favorite holiday? halloween. jack is here for any celebration of the weird and liminal. they grew up hearing that it’s the time when the veil between our world and the fairy world is the thinnest, and magic is at its peak.

10. what objects do they always carry around with them? for most of their life, the green brooch was basically a part of them. they still unconsciously reach for it sometimes. other than that… a pocket notebook for lyrics. medications, both legal (aspirin, tums) and less legal (acid, amphetamines), in an antique pillbox. lipstick. a comb. a mother-of-pearl compact mirror. small knife in case of harassment. cigarettes and a lighter. crystals and plain old rocks.
