The "Bad Romance" singer went old-school, and it worked

 

At an Oscars ceremony whose high points were almost entirely musical, Lady Gaga stole the show. The “Bad Romance†singer ditched her usual elaborate theatrics for a pared-down, beautiful 50th anniversary tribute to The Sound of Music, for which she hit Julie Andrews’s high notes; the Oscar-winning actress thanked Gaga by name, proving that the establishment has accepted a pop star who was once the oddest girl in any room. What was shocking about it all was how un-shocking it was.

 

Gaga’s performance at the Oscars was not about the singer’s persona, her ideas about modern celebrity, or her oddity; it was about The Sound of Music. Indeed, one choice in particular indicated that the singer’s outlook really has changed in recent months. Lady Gaga wore long red gloves on the red carpet, as though she were about to wash some dishes. It was classic Gaga, a clothing choice that would seem to beg for attention, until one realized that the gloves covered her new engagement ring  to ensure that no one would be talking about it. For a star whose career has long been about making herself the center of attention, Gaga’s ceding attention to something else was a major step forward.

I'm glad a few people got the fact that the gloves were juste supposed to hide th ring. I don't know why everyone is making a fuss about it :smh:
