Lady Gaga Commits to Mayhem at the 2026 Grammys

Stepping onto the 2026 Grammys red carpet tonight, Lady Gaga unleashed fashion mayhem. Gloriously so. Gaga arrived at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles in a dramatically feathered ensemble that evoked the visual essence of Mayhem, her latest studio album, which earned seven Grammy nominations this evening.

Gaga slipped into a textured floor-length gown by Matières Fécales, the Paris-based indie brand that’s become a staple of her Mayhem era. It featured a structured Victorian collar that framed Gaga’s visage; jutted hips; and a mermaid-style skirt with an extra-long train flowing at the back.

Despite the extravagance of her dress, Gaga’s beauty and accessory choices were decidedly restrained. She sported thin bleached brows, her signature platinum hair, and a simple black manicure. Her only piece of jewelry came in the form of her dazzling engagement ring from fiancé Michael Polansky.

Mayhem is a return to form for Gaga not only music-wise (the album’s synth-heavy disco production invokes her Fame Monster days), but also in terms of her fashion. The singer leaned heavily into a dark aesthetic during the album’s roll out, wearing predominantly jet-black looks from fashion favorites like Willy Chavarria and Hodakova.

Tonight’s look felt like an extension of that thematic métier of dressing: gothic, on theme, and unmistakably Gaga.
