If you're wondering what Lady Gaga looks like in the studio making her music, it may surprise you. The star and beauty mogul just posted some behind-the-scenes photos of her creative process and she looks like one of us. A normie. Taking on our projects with our hair swept back messily into a bun and barely a stitch of makeup.
Now, while it looks like she's filled in her brows or maybe has had some micro-blading done, there really doesn't appear to be much makeup on her face at all, and if there is, it's super subtle. Meanwhile, her peroxide hair is swept back into a messy half-up style that we've all worn to the corner shop.
We can't lie, we kind of expected her to still be in full glam even while solo in the recording studio. But it's nice seeing this stripped-back side to her.
She relatably captioned the photo: "There’s a rat in the studio 🐀," with Bella Thorne quickly commenting "The most beautiful rat I have ever seen 😍." Though, aside from Gaga's own seeming nod to her pared-back look, most fans were only obsessing over the possibility of new music.
While we were zooming in to see if she was wearing concealer, the comments were filled with fans zooming in to see if they could read what was on the sheet music. We all have our passions, and that my friends, is ok.
