Lady Gaga laid low for about six weeks and then presumably went into rehearsals and whatnot for House of Gucci. She looks GORGEOUS here. (And she wore these shoes about 600 times this past year; no matter how agonizing they look to me, they're clearly comfy on her.)

My bad eyes ALSO thought that Gaga had gone to Westminster Abbey here to place this bouquet on the grave of the Unknown Warrior, like a royal bride. That DID NOT HAPPEN. She's in Milan, for one thing. For another, this is a hotel. Finally, I think this is an optical illusion involving a rug and a table.
