Calling all little monsters and Lady Gaga fanatics everywhere: you better put on your best poker face and put your paws up, baby because the pop icon’s newest album—and subsequently, her new era—is mere hours away. The much-anticipated album, MAYHEM, from the 14-time Grammy Award winner, comes out tonight. To celebrate, Lady Gaga is hosting and performing SNL this Saturday, so it’s bound to be a thrilling 24 hours for pop girlies. To welcome her new era, she debuted a new hairstyle suited to the dark, witchy vibes that MAYHEM is sure to deliver.
Lady Gaga Preps for ‘SNL’ With Blunt Bob and Micro Bangs
We’ve long associated Lady Gaga with her shoulder-length, platinum-blonde strands. With the release of “Disease” and “Abracadabra,” the pop legend has dipped her toes into the darker side of things. Now, she’s rocking waist-skimming black strands with blunt cut bangs across red carpets and experimenting with longer-than-life blonde styles during her dance-packed music videos.
As it turns out, Gaga opted for a different viral hairstyle to truly usher in her new persona. We got a behind-the-scenes look at her rehearsal days, thanks to SNL’s Instagram. In the posts, she’s sporting a short, French-inspired bob, paired with her classic micro bangs and, of course, bleached brows. Gaga’s look is the epitome of the anti-tradition chic style we’ve come to know and love her for, and we can’t wait to see what this new look means for her MAYHEM era.
