Photoshop in Bad Romance MV

I have always wondered why Gaga's side profile looks so different in the scene shown below, especially having in mind what her face looked like back in 2009. I used to think it's just the makeup choice and how different this look was compared to what we used to see from her back then. But now that I took a closer look at it and compared it to other side profile photos of her, I feel like they edited her nose – it looks longer and the tip is smaller. I also think her forehead and lips/jawline look altered, but I might be wrong.

I don't want this to be a hateful thread and in order to make it useful, here are two things I found out about the video today:

Spoiler

The music played at the beginning of the MV is Johann Sebastian Bach's Fugue No. 24 from WTC Book I BWV 869. See 5:20 – 5:51 at 2x speed:

 

Spoiler

Although supposedly being the same scene and with the same outfit, Gaga wears two different pairs of shoes for her white latex look.

Heels by Alexander McQueen while crawling around her capsule.

Boots by Pleaser for the choreography part.

I mean who knows, it's all in the art. The angles and makeup of those 2 pictures do make it a bigger difference, like ally has no makeup / contour at all. They always make edits in videos anyway, like her giant eyes in the bathtub

You’re comparing Bad Romance (2009) to A Star Is Born (2017 - when it was shot). Didn’t she have a nosejob? I mean I love comparing her features now from how she looked in the beginning of her career...

Idk she pulled her skin so much with wigs etc she looked different every time. It also makes a difference which lens is used so maybe that too? Plus maybe she has filler now idk

Maybe because one of a low camera shot looking up and the other is a high camera shot while looking slightly down or forward. This is ridiculous.

I actually think is make up! She is fully contoured in the BR video still. Is just the contour of the nose and cheek bones. Is the magic of make up.

I think it's mostly just the angle. You can see further up Ally's nostril because of the downward camera angle and it makes the tip of her nose look larger. Plus Ally is wrinkling her nose and preparing to speak/sing while BR Gaga is posing with a camera's-on-me face. 

They did an amazing job of diminishing Gaga's signature nose in the BR video. (even though I don't support that goal :grr: ) The huge Cruella drag makeup really changes her face. I wouldn't be surprised if they did a little bit of postprod doctoring though since they already did her eyeballs in the bathtub martini scenes

Basic makeup/ lighting/ camera angle/ lens tricks. Also wigs/ wig tape like that has already been mentioned. It’s nothing to overthink about

Lmao at the responses, it was clearly edited ON PURPOSE even her back shots at the end, also de the huge eyes and the bony scenes.

some of you guys really need to calm down. there's nothing wrong with the fact she might have had her nose edited post-production (i even said this is not a hateful thread and provided some side trivia) – after all, it's all a part of her vision + she has said that her silhouette was altered in shower scene to make her look more slender, so why not here too. i don't think it's just makeup and face tape, as it's definitely much longer and looks more straight and narrow.

p.s. people saying it's her nose job (which typically has the intention to make the nose look more "perfect", not take away that feature) are a whole 'nother breed.
