Emerging from behind a cluster of pink feathers, Gaga descended a gold staircase in a stunning Dior couture ensemble. She wore a black satin bustier and panties with a black and pink skirt embroidered with features and sequins, paired with a feather jacket and a Dior headpiece. The singer’s dancers were also dressed in Dior, adding to the cohesive cabaret-inspired look.
