Was the Enigma wig really the biggest villain?

don’t get me wrong - the lip was AWFUL as well. And that neon green loofa outfit was AWFUL also. But the wig took it to the next level 

This look was actually great! The rest of the show... no!

I'm convinced the bangs + pigtail wig would've worked pretty decently with this outfit because it's a much more harmonious, glamorous and flattering look overall. Even with this makeup, since there are no colours to clash with.

But ... that bodysuit + Mayhem glam + anime pigtails sounds pretty fierce to me.

You speak truths plainly and I love it

[River 125,636]

the whole look was supposed to represent a futuristic vegas prostitute 

[clownery 7,636]

The whole show is a mess, the idea was amazing but poorly executed, also I bet Gaga's own state of mind affected a lot of the development. 

[popkulture 570]

No. It's a bad wig but nowhere near as bad as a few others.

A lot went wrong with Enigma, and it wasn’t the wig. I don’t know what was going on behind the scenes during that time, but when Gaga talks about Chromatica in a negative light I imagine she’s referring to this time period specifically. The sudden change in creative direction, the weird Eli stuff, her IG posts, it coming less than a year after the cancellation of the JWT dates, the pandemic, the adrenaline of ASIB. The cringey dialogue and vamp on stage felt off and at times almost like a possible indication that she was in a strange place mentally. There was a lot happening. Some* of the show’s costumes and props were actually great. Some even impressive. 

What has she said negatively about Chromatica?

I actually like the wig because it pays homage to the TealGa bob (see my avi ). I truly think it's that one goofy ass loofa outfit that makes the whole look bad. And the clips in the hair make it look like demented ponytails.

Because I'm sorry but she looked fierce for the rest of the show in the same wig 

[Starmie25 22,310]

No. 

It was her health at the time.

the wig is not my favorite, but that makeup change DOES improve the look

That purple outfit is also a crime against Italian Girls from New York, so like jot that down

Something along the lines of it not being her best writing, being too literal, it was hard to be authentic on the record, and of course reiterating that she was in a dark depression.

I never hated the wig. I hated that outfit though.

Enigma *did* have a great setlist

Cuz I think it was a smear campaign orchestrated by Haus Labs to draw our attention away from the true culprit 

   

I quickly threw on the Mayhem glam in Photoshop to see if it would make the wig look more harmonious. I always throught the Enigma looks could've at least been decent if the makeup didn't clash as much as it did 

It's not perfect and I think that the glow-in-the-dark lips were non-negotiable for Gaga. But we like to experiment over here

the wig and outfit are so distracting it took me so long to even notice there was a difference in these pics
