Lady Gaga Brought Couture Drama To The Tiff Red Carpet By Mieka Strawhorn | Film | September 10, 2018 | Bradley Cooper may have acted the Svengali and dramatically made Lady Gaga go sans fards in order to play a “homely” normal Ally in A Star Is Born, but there was nothing he could do to stop the Gaga-train in real life when it came to the Tiff red carpet event for the movie’s opening. In all her theatrical splendor, Gaga slid like a statue on tiny wheels down the red carpet in an old Hollywood-inspired black Armani Privé gown with her head covered in a gauzy veil like an elegantly evil beekeeper.

She also wore a convertible veil that can be lifted by the wearer, et voila! You’ve got a blood-sucking mosquito-repelling shrug; perfect for the independent bride of Dracula at an exclusive haunted nocturnal swamp venue. Her stunning Chopard jewels also looked like a million bucks, but are apparently worth 20 times that.

Now it makes a little more sense that her hands seem to be cramping from a severe case of “bitch, don’t fall” rictus. Lady Gaga also wore custom @giuseppezanotti platform ankle boots at TIFF yesterday, similar to his "Ambra" boots. pic.twitter.com/cEG8cDLZGZ — La Maison Gaga (@LaMaisonGagax) September 10, 2018 And not to be outdone, Bradley wore… a brown suit and adjusted his clipper setting down one notch.

This is her at the Venice Film Festival and can I just say HOLY CRAP, AMAZING:<doc-sep>“A Star Is Born,” which premiered Sunday at the Toronto Film Festival, follows Lady Gaga as Ally, an unknown singer-songwriter who meets Jackson Maine (Bradley Cooper), an established musician who becomes Ally’s mentor and helps nuture her career as it begins to take off. Lady Gaga told Variety‘s Marc Malkin on the carpet for the premiere that she recognizes part of herself in Ally. “I see so much of myself when I was younger, when I did not believe in myself, when I was bullied in school, I felt ugly, and my only escape was music and that’s why I started to sing and write songs and act was because I wanted an escape from all of that pain,” Gaga said. “Little Stefani right now, she’s very humbled and she’s very surprised.” In the film, Ally has to learn to navigate her career as it starts to flourish, and Gaga said that though she felt pressured to meet people’s expectations when she started to become famous, she always stayed true to her own version of herself. “I always flipped it on its head,” she explained. “If they wanted me to look sexy, I wanted to look weird. I always wanted to define what it meant to be me and I always had something to say and I always made sure that no one stood in my way when I wanted to say it.” “Ally goes through these things as well as she’s navigating her career,” she continued, “and it was very important to me that this character was completely different from me. I hope the message of love between them and believing in someone…A hundred people there could be in one room and 99 don’t believe in you, but just one believes and it can change your whole life and Jackson believes in Ally and his belief in her changes her life.” The “Million Reasons” singer said that in the early stages of meeting with Cooper, he came to her house and the pair sang together. “I heard his incredible voice instantly and I just stopped dead in my tracks. I said, ‘You have a voice that comes from your soul and you know how to tell a story,'” Gaga said. “And we made a contract that day. It was like, I believe in you, you are an actress; I believe in you, you are a musician. And we shook hands on it.” She expressed her pride in Cooper’s transformation into a director, explaining that when “an artist is moving from one medium into another and there has been years and years of talent gestating for that new medium, I believe it is always about to be an explosion.” “A Star Is Born” hits theaters Oct. 5.<doc-sep>
Lady Gaga looked picture perfect as she posed on the red carpet at the premiere of A Star Is Born in Toronto on Sunday. The singer, 32, is making her debut as a movie actress in the Bradley Cooper-directed film and said she was humbled by the role, calling herself "just a girl from New York who couldn't get an audition.” Gaga, who was oozing elegance in her floor length black dress, black sequin hat and veil, plays an aspiring singer in the third remake of the romance between an aging star and a newcomer. "I've always wanted to be an actress and this is more than I ever imagined," she told reporters on the red carpet at the Toronto Film Festival on Sunday. "I am just so honored and grateful and humbled." Gaga insisted that all the songs in A Star is Born were performed live, including those by her co-star and boss Bradley Cooper, a novice musician.

"When we first met, Stefani was very adamant about it,” Bradley explained, referring to Lady Gaga by her real name, Stefani Germanotta. A Star is Born tells the story of country music singer Jackson Maine (Cooper), who meets, nurtures and falls in love with aspiring musician Ally (Lady Gaga).

As well as marking Bradley's directorial debut, the film is also the first to showcase his voice, songwriting and musical abilities. The Silver Linings Playbook actor has said he took singing and music lessons for six months. "Preparation was the hardest thing," he said. "Starting to sing and realizing that I really couldn't; starting to learn guitar and piano and realizing I couldn't." Gaga made her television acting debut in American Horror Story: Hotel winning a Golden Globe in 2016. But taking the lead role in A Star is Born was a big leap. (Image: REX/Shutterstock) "At the beginning of making this film, we shook hands literally, and he said to me, 'You're an actress',” Gaga said. "And I said to him, 'You're a musician'." The movie's concert scenes were shot on the stages of some of the world's biggest music festivals, including Coachella in California and Glastonbury in England. A Star is Born is the third remake of the original 1937 film. It was remade in 1954 with Judy Garland, and in 1976 with Barbra Streisand.
