Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky made a stylish splash at the Venice International Film Festival, proving once again that they’re a couple to watch—both on and off the red carpet. On September 2, the newly engaged pair arrived in Venice with outfits that were nothing short of molto bene.
The “Applause” singer dazzled in a long-sleeved black silk dress adorned with white polka dots, perfectly complemented by black tights and matching heels. Gaga, known for her bold fashion choices, kept her platinum blonde locks in a chic half-up, half-down style, with a braided bun adding a touch of elegance. And of course, in true Gaga fashion, she kept her signature dark sunglasses on—even during their nighttime arrival.
Michael Polansky, always the supportive partner, mirrored his fiancée’s style with his own understated yet effortlessly cool look. Sporting black frames like Gaga, he completed his ensemble with a black jacket, matching shirt, pants, and sleek ebony sneakers. The couple radiated love and happiness as they waved to fans and snapped selfies, with Gaga pausing for a sweet kiss with her lover.
Their appearance at the festival comes just weeks after they confirmed their engagement at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, where Gaga wowed the world with her performance during the Opening Ceremony. While rumors of a proposal had been swirling since April, it wasn’t until France’s Prime Minister Gabriel Attal shared a video on July 28 that fans finally heard Gaga refer to Michael as her fiancé.
The engagement is the culmination of a romance that first captured attention on New Year’s Eve in 2020, when Gaga and Michael shared a kiss at a Las Vegas party. Since then, the “Paparazzi” artist has kept their relationship mostly private, although she hasn’t shied away from expressing her deep love for Michael. In a 2020 interview with MSNBC, Gaga called him the “love of my life,” and she revealed to InStyle that marriage was high on her list of dreams.
Gaga’s joy was evident on her birthday this year, as she shared her happiness in a heartfelt post on March 28. “Today has been so special—I can’t remember a time I was so happy on my bday,” she wrote. “I am in love with my best friend, my family and friends are loving and kind and healthy. I feel like my heart is bursting with gratitude.”
