Lady Gaga has always been an artist who transcends music, turning each era into a visual spectacle. Now, with the release of Mayhem, her seventh studio album, she returns to pop with a darker, more sophisticated aesthetic—reviving the gothic and fashion-forward energy that made her an icon. From her striking appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards to the cinematic music video for Abracadabra, released overnight, Gaga reaffirms her status as a fashion and music powerhouse.
Grammy 2025: Gothic Glamour, Luxury, and a Historic Necklace
Lady Gaga stole the show at the 2025 Grammys, both on stage—where she performed alongside Bruno Mars in a heartfelt tribute to Los Angeles—and on the red carpet, where she embraced gothic glamour in haute couture.
Her standout look of the night was designed by Australian-Taiwanese designer Samuel Lewis: a dramatic leather jacket paired with a voluminous ball skirt, reinforcing her signature dark and sophisticated aesthetic.
But the true highlight was her jewelry—a historic necklace by Tiffany & Co., dating back to the 1930s, designed by Meta Overbeck under the direction of Louis Comfort. Made of gold and adorned with tourmaline, pearls, and onyx, the piece had never been worn on a red carpet before. Gaga completed her look with yellow gold and platinum earrings featuring yellow and white diamonds, as well as the iconic Sixteen Stone ring by Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co., encrusted with diamonds and tsavorites.
This isn’t the first time Gaga has worn a historic Tiffany & Co. piece. In 2019, she famously donned the legendary yellow Tiffany diamond at the Oscars, valued at over $30 million. But with the announcement of Mayhem and the release of her single Disease, her Grammy look made it clear—we’re entering a bold new era, both visually and musically.
Abracadabra: The Fashion Spell of Gaga’s New Music Video
During a commercial break at the 2025 Grammys, Lady Gaga surprised fans by premiering the highly anticipated music video for Abracadabra, one of the lead singles from Mayhem. With references ranging from ballroom culture to visuals reminiscent of her The Fame Monster era, the singer proved once again that there is beauty in eccentricity.
The video is a visual masterpiece: Gaga dances alongside a troupe of performers in electrifying choreography, wearing luxurious outfits that blend fetish, gothic, and high-fashion elements. The pulsating beat is set to dominate dance floors, solidifying the track as a major hit in this new era.
Mayhem: Lady Gaga’s Creative Chaos
Set for release on March 7, Mayhem is described by Gaga as an album that embraces chaos and creative spontaneity. “Mayhem is about following your own chaos into whatever cranny of your life it takes you to,” she revealed. “Writing as many songs as I did for this album was a labor of total love. But by the end, you have to be very cutthroat in your choices.”
Along with Abracadabra, the album already features the singles Disease and Die With a Smile, the latter a collaboration with Bruno Mars that topped the Billboard charts. If the visual and sonic impact of this new era continues at this level, there’s no doubt Mayhem will mark another milestone in Gaga’s career.
Lady Gaga is back, bolder than ever—and the worlds of fashion and music couldn’t be more grateful.
