To me it screams Alien and The Matrix. Was just curious what specifically led some people to bring that reference up, other than the high fashion science fiction aspect of it. The 5th Element's hair and costumes are so bright and very shiny, plus there is still a dark element to its color palette - like even though it's super saturated (colors are beautifully clear and bright) the darker colors are super dark (if that makes sense). And the fact that Chromatica is looking to be sci-fi themed makes me think of it. This pic and the things in the background make think of that scene where Leeloo escapes from that lab: I personally don't get The Matrix from this at all - The Matrix usually had that green filter, and everyone was dressed in black leather, slick dark hair, and tiny sunglasses - it was very late 90s minimalist in its fashion. Alien, I can kind of see because that movie was dark visually, with lots of machinery in the back ground, as well as the Alien itself being Lovecraftian and tentacled. That said, otherwise Alien is very set in down-to-earth realism with its sci-fi, there is not any candy colored hair or sexy outfits in sight (unless this stuff is in all the numerious sequels I've never seen).

Idk how there’s anymore doubt after this. But wow. The shoe so SO crazy looking. Ugh I love his designs He made the mask Poppy wore on red carpet in 2018 and the white goat mask Gaga wore in Born This Way Ball during Bad Romance I'm probably wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's from The Matrix, you're not thinking about the right scenes: As for Alien, that's probably the most obvious, she's referenced Giger and the design of the creature before: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little bit of fun fact here: this is actually not the first time Gaga is wearing knife heels, she did so in a 2010 photoshoot as well is in the BTW music video Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I still have to say I still get more of a 5th Element vibe - her sensiblilities are just so shiny and fun lately that her going in this direction was probably always going to read as The 5th Element-like even if she's drawing from other stuff IMO. I love that she's going all in with sci-fi again, and I also feel like her being more colorful helps differentiate from Born This Way's aesthetics (like the Giger-inspired outfit). Here for a Cronenberg-influenced video next (Paper mag shoot came close). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they included them I can't imagine they'd put them so invisible? Like a poem said by a neydy in red Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshoz 179 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Excuse the awful Photoshop but I tried to mock-up what the cover might look like with text (used the Chromatica logo from the end of the SL video) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
