It still amuses me to see Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix seemingly get along so well as they promote Joker: Folie a Deux. Joaquin has always had a tricky personality, and I never would have believed that he would be so open to working with Gaga and enjoying it as much as he seemed to. He literally lights up around Gaga. It’s kind of sweet. Anyway, these are photos from the big London premiere of Joker last night.

Gaga loves to do themed looks for her promotional and premiere appearances, so she channeled her character with makeup and vibes last night. She wore a custom satin Celine gown with a matching bolero jacket. The jacket is not great, but I totally get what she was going for here. This is not supposed to be a “pretty” look, it’s supposed to recall Harley Quinn. Her character in this film is actually Lee Quinzel, actually. The makeup here is notable – she did turquoise eyeshadow, with darker makeup under one eye to give her a bruised look, then the single crystal tear. Gaga also wore Tiffany & Co jewelry – a Jean Schlumberger brooch and vine ring, plus some yellow diamonds.

You can see Joker’s Rotten Tomatoes page here – critics are split on the message and the film, and it currently sits at 63% fresh. It felt like the under-40 male demographic really embraced and loved the first film, and I’m not sure if those dudes wanted a musical sequel, so it’s a little bit funny that it happened this way. They’re saying Gaga is good in it though.
