Lady Gaga made a striking appearance on the latest episode of the popular web series “Hot Ones,” where she not only took on a spicy hot-wing challenge but also showcased a bold fashion statement. The episode, which aired recently, features Gaga as she promotes her forthcoming album titled “Mayhem,” scheduled for release on 7 March.
On the show, Gaga donned an avant-garde outfit designed by Thom Browne, which has sparked significant conversation among fans and fashion enthusiasts. Specifically, she wore a reinterpretation of look 44 from Browne’s Fall 2024 couture collection. eschewing the runway dress, she opted for a nude lace bra paired with an elegant white maxi skirt. The ensemble was further accentuated by a unique floral design, with sculptural pieces that emerged from her rib cage, wrapped over her shoulder and cascading down her back, ultimately immobilising her right arm.
Despite the fashion intricacies, Gaga was undaunted by the spicy wings she encountered. Early on in the challenge, she confidently described the wings as “yummy” and “gorgeous.” However, as she progressed to the eighth and tenth wings, her reactions shifted, with her rolling her eyes and questioning, “Is this safe?!”. Her fearless approach to combining haute couture with the seemingly mundane act of eating chicken wings resonated with fans, many of whom took to social media to express their admiration. One user on X (formerly Twitter) remarked, “THIS DIVA WEARING THIS THOM BROWNE COUTURE 2024 LOOK JUST TO EAT HOT WINGS ???”, while another stated that Gaga looked “like a Greek goddess just to eat wings.”
During her candid conversation with host Sean Evans, Gaga reflected on her career journey, particularly the times she felt tempted to walk away from her artistic pursuits. Responding to a deeply personal question from Evans, she admitted, “I missed the community that I had in New York, and that was hard,” referencing her early performing days in the city. She acknowledged moments of doubt but ultimately asserted, “I know for sure that I never would. I would say that I was tested, and I always didn’t give up. And I’m still doing it, so it must mean I want to do it.” This openness provided viewers with a glimpse of a more vulnerable side of Gaga, contrasting with her well-known flamboyant persona.
The fashion choices made by Gaga, while often bold and occasionally shocking, carry a deeper significance, celebrating individuality and self-expression. Although the specific price tag of Gaga’s couture outfit remains undisclosed, similar creations from Thom Browne can command figures exceeding R10 million, which is a staggering amount for the average South African. Despite this, Gaga’s wardrobe selections are often seen more as artistic expressions than practical investments.

Local fans and followers continue to discuss and celebrate her impactful sartorial choices, showcasing a blend of admiration for her daring style and recognition of her resilience in the face of challenges, whether they be culinary or professional.
