Love is in the air in Venice.

Hours after arriving at the Venice International Film Festival alongside her Joker: Folie à Deux collaborators—i.e., costar Joaquin Phoenix and director Todd Phillips—Lady Gaga made her way to the film's red-carpet premiere with her fiancé, tech philanthropy exec Michael Polansky.

While the two have been dating for nearly four years, they had yet to make their red-carpet debut together—until today. Of course, Gaga commemorated the moment by delivering one of her most dramatic fashion statements to date.

The Grammy winner’s outfit—a Dior Haute Couture creation—consisted of a glamorous black ball gown with a velvet bodice, a flattering drop-waist silhouette, and a voluminous skirt with waves of folded fabric that extended out like tentacles.

As if the dress alone didn't pack enough of a punch, Gaga made sure to add some extra oomph via her accessories, including a sculptural headpiece with a transparent black lace veil. She capped off the look with an array of diamond jewelry by Tiffany & Co.

Gaga confirmed her engagement to Polansky in July, when a fan captured a video of the superstar introducing her beau as “my fiancé” to French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal during the Olympics.

“He loves Lady Gaga, but he’s in love with Stefani,” a source previously said of Polansky during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. “He loves the theatrics and her artistry, but he is very happy being out of the spotlight and letting her shine.”

The insider added, “Michael is her North Star. He is such a grounding and guiding presence for her.”
