'Rah, where's my baccy?' No. Rah, rah-ah-ah-ah... Roma, roma-ma, Gaga, ooh-la-la, is that a new hair transformation we see?!
Not that we needed it but Lady Gaga has (once again) reminded us why she is the OG beauty Queen, debuting a major black hair transformation in her most recent Instagram selfie. Say it again, with me now: Gaga, ooh-la-la!
Within the past 24 hours, the singer took to her IG grid to share not one but two posts that spotlight the new 'do. The first is a video of her playing the piano while the second is a three-part carousel post, fronted by a selfie in which her glossy raven locks feature front and centre. She's bringing back the 'glass hair trend', folks.
Gaga captioned both posts with simple emojis but that didn't stop fans from flooding the comments section with praise for her new look.
"THE DARK HAIR IS GIVING ICONIC ERA," one fan wrote, while another also shared the love, writing "next era with black hair please, i love it!!!🖤🖤🖤." And to echo that of both, we, too, love the black hair Stef, it is iconic!
Not only has the star dyed the head on her hair black but making for an even more dramatic transformation, she's kept her eyebrows bleach blonde. It's giving high fashion and even higher beauty. *Chef's kiss*
Everyone's clicking on...
I'm taking this darker hair look as a sign that autumn/winter beauty for 2024 may be coming sooner than we think...
