Tony Bennett (Music legend, co-creator of Cheek to Cheek):
“Lady Gaga is one of the finest performers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She’s not just a singer; she’s an incredible musician.”
Bradley Cooper (Co-star in A Star is Born):
“She is an incredible artist, and working with her was like going on a journey with someone who has no limits.”
Lady Gaga is officially engaged, and she made a dazzling statement to the world at her first red carpet appearance with her new fiancé, Michael Polansky, during the Venice Film Festival. The 38-year-old singer and actress proudly showed off her massive diamond engagement ring while attending the premiere of her latest film, “Joker: Folie à Deux.”
Gaga, whose full name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, turned heads as she walked the red carpet at the Lido di Venezia in a striking black Christian Dior Haute Couture gown. The elegant dress featured a plunging halter neckline and was cinched at the waist, flowing into a voluminous black skirt. To complete her dramatic look, Gaga wore a lavish Phillip Treacy headpiece over her platinum blonde hair, styled in a sleek bun, giving her an iconic and sophisticated appearance.

Adding even more sparkle to her ensemble, Gaga donned a Tiffany & Co. diamond pendant necklace, which was complemented by matching earrings and a bracelet. The dazzling jewelry perfectly highlighted her stunning engagement ring, making it clear that she was celebrating this special moment.
Polansky, her fiancé, looked equally polished in a classic black tuxedo, matching Gaga’s sophisticated style. The couple, known for their privacy, also enjoyed a romantic boat ride around Venice earlier in the week, where Gaga was seen flashing her engagement ring once again, showing her excitement and joy.
Forbes:
“Gaga has become a wonderful example of what it means to be a successful, independent artist in the 21st century.”
Gaga confirmed her engagement to Polansky during the 2024 Paris Olympics when she introduced him as “my fiancé” to French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal. The couple, who have been romantically linked since 2020 after a public display of affection during a Super Bowl weekend in Miami, have kept much of their relationship under wraps, making their red carpet debut even more special.
