“ Lady Gaga channeled her character Harley Quinn as she attended The
Joker: Folie à Deux UK photocall at the Corinthia Hotel in London on Thursday morning.
The actress, 38, was joined at the event by co-star Joaquin Phoenix
as the pair posed for photos on a rooftop with the picturesque city
backdrop behind.
The Bad Romance singer looked incredible as she slipped
into a black and white patterned minidress which boasted a
white lace collate and three quarter sleeves.
She opted for a pair of sheer white knee high socks and
added inches to her frame in a pair of towering black platform
heels.
The star, who braved the British rain, wore her dyed red tresses in a short cropped style
and opted for a bold red lipstick.

She seemed in good spirits as she flashed a smile while posing up a storm
wearing a pair of black sunglasses.
Lady Gaga takes a starring role as Harley in the psychological thriller, in which Joaquin reprises his role as the titular
Joker - Batman's soon-to-be nemesis.
For the photocall, Joaquin cut a casual figure in a black zip hoodie which he teamed
with matching tracksuit bottoms and Converse trainers.
The stars were later joined by director Todd Phillips as the trio beamed for snaps together.
Gaga's fashion parade for the film has been a resounding success at least after her last big film House of Gucci released in 2021
was savaged by critics.
The much-anticipated Folie à Deux is a follow-up to 2019's Academy Award-winning Joker, which earned
more than $1 billion at the global box office and remains the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time.
Set for release on October 4, the second instalment finds Arthur
Fleck institutionalised at Arkham awaiting trial for his crimes as Joker.
'While struggling with his dual identity, Arthur not only
stumbles upon true love, but also finds the music that's always been inside
him,' a press release shared.

It comes after Lady Gaga teased a new rock n' roll track, The Joker,
in an Instagram video on Wednesday.
At the beginning of the teaser, Lady Gaga - whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta - wore a
short, red wig as well as a blue and white-patterned dress.

She completed the look by slipping into a pair of polka dot tights as well
as black and white-colored, Converse sneakers.
The singer stood near the edge of a balcony outside as she gazed at the Louvre which was lit up at night.
As she began to walk away, Lady Gaga sang, 'There's always a
joker in the pack, there's always a lonely clown.'
The teaser then cut to the songstress dancing inside the dimly lit museum as she began to make
her way down concrete steps - similar to Joaquin Phoenix's stair
dance scene in Joker (2019).
She walked down a long, dark hallway while surrounded by various paintings as
the star continued to belt out lyrics in the background.
'The poor laughing fool falls on his back and everyone laughs when he's down/
There's always a funny man in the game, but he's only funny by mistake.'
The A Star Is Born actress then strolled into another
empty room inside the Louvre and a small smile broke out
onto her face upon seeing a certain piece of artwork.
'And everyone laughs at him just the same. They don't see his lonely
heartbreak,' she continued to sing.

Lady Gaga tilted her head to the side and slowly walked up to Leonardo da
Vinci's Mona Lisa painting.
The star flashed a bigger grin and waved - but her smile faded as she looked into the eyes of the
Mona Lisa.

She then took out red lipstick and drew Joker's smile over protective glass
in front of the painting to give the Mona Lisa a
similar grin.
'They don't care as long as there is a jester,
just a fool. As foolish as he can be. There's
always a joker, that's the rule! But fate deals the hand that I
see. The joker is me,' the lyrics in the teaser
also included.
Lady Gaga began to walk away and looked over shoulder to take one last look at
the artwork, and revealed Harley Quinn makeup on her face.
She tossed her arms up into the air as she danced her way out of the abandoned Louvre Museum as the reel came to an end.
In conclusion, text on the screen revealed that an exhibition at the Louvre called Figures of the Fool will begin next month on October 16.
According to the official website, the museum is 'dedicating an unprecedented exhibition to the
myriad figures of the fool, which permeated the pictorial landscape of the 13th
to the 16th centuries.'
In the caption of the post, the performer wrote to her followers, 'There's always
a Joker. #FiguresDuFou #Louvre #JokerMovie.'
