Lady Gaga Unveils Bold New Dark Hair Look During Paris Appearance

Lady Gaga stunned fans with a dramatic change in her hair color as she exited the Laurent restaurant in Paris on November 21, showcasing deep black tresses instead of her usual platinum blonde.

The 39-year-old pop icon complemented her fresh look with a chic mint green Tom Ford ensemble featuring an oversized blazer and coordinating trousers. She added a black bralette beneath the blazer and completed her stylish outfit with sleek oval sunglasses.

Gaga, currently engaged to businessman Michael Polansky, was visiting the romantic city as part of the European leg of her Mayhem Ball Tour, which wrapped up on November 22. She is scheduled to continue her tour with several performances in Australia this December before heading to Japan in January.

Upcoming Projects and Film Career

Beyond her music, Gaga is gearing up for a notable return to film. Following her role alongside Joaquin Phoenix in the upcoming 2024 release Joker: Folie à Deux, she reportedly filmed scenes for The Devil Wears Prada 2 in Milan last October, according to multiple sources.

Though official comments from 20th Century Studios were unavailable, insiders suggest Gaga will join a star-studded cast including Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. New cast members also feature Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, Pauline Chalamet, Justin Theroux, BJ Novak, and Conrad Ricamora.

However, Adrian Grenier, who played Nate Cooper in the original 2006 film, will not reprise his role in the sequel, reports confirm.

Insights into The Devil Wears Prada Legacy

Ahead of the sequel's theatrical release in May 2026, fans can revisit some behind-the-scenes details from the original film:

1. The Devil Wears Prada movie adaptation was initiated even before Lauren Weisberger's novel was published. Fox executives were captivated by the initial manuscript pages and outline, realizing the story’s potential as a sharp look into the fashion world, inspired by Weisberger’s experiences as Anna Wintour’s assistant.

2. The film’s production faced hurdles due to Wintour’s influence, making it difficult to secure authentic fashion-world contacts and filming locations. Iconic sites like the Metropolitan Museum and Bryant Park were off limits, leading the crew to use an Upper East Side townhouse instead.

3. The production designer, Jess Gonchor, managed to replicate Anna Wintour’s office so precisely that Wintour reportedly updated her own office décor after the film’s release.

4. Designer contributions for the wardrobes were initially hard to obtain, as many feared potential backlash from Wintour. Patricia Field, the costume designer, successfully gathered a collection of about 150 pieces from top designers, carefully differentiating Meryl Streep’s character from her real-life inspiration.

5. Anna Wintour herself showed a touch of humor regarding the film. She attended a screening alongside Weisberger and described the movie as entertaining but not a completely accurate portrayal of magazine life.

6. Meryl Streep was the unanimous choice to portray Miranda Priestly, with studio executives hoping fervently she would accept the role. Streep embraced the character’s formidable nature, appreciating that Miranda did not soften her commanding presence.

7. For the first time, Streep negotiated her pay assertively for the film and insisted on key scenes that avoided turning Miranda into a stereotype, including moments showcasing her fashion expertise and vulnerability.

8. Anne Hathaway, who played Andy Sachs, was reportedly the ninth choice for the role and had to campaign creatively to land it, including writing "hire me" in a producer’s zen garden.

9. The role of Emily, Miranda’s strict assistant, was cast after auditions of more than 100 actresses, with Emily Blunt ultimately securing the part despite an unassuming initial audition while dressed casually.
