**Lady Gaga’**s transformation from over-the-top outré fashion icon to a more subdued sense of style hasn’t escaped our notice, and the muted monochromatic ensemble she worked today is further proof. While we’ve seen stars like Kim Kardashian West and Rihanna play with one-note dressing, it’s Gaga who truly elevates the effortless look with her own distinct flair.
A drapey, high-neck, ribbed capelet acts as a beautiful and casual counterpoint to Gaga’s high-waisted just-below-the knee skirt, both by Ferragamo. There’s a hint of skin, too, to detract from the otherwise prim sensibility, while multicolored strappy Pierre Hardy sandals add a whimsical touch. But the success of Gaga’s elegant, yet summer-friendly approach relies on her clever pairing. Those seeking to try their hand at re-creating the singer’s look will want to stick to coordinating colors for an elongating effect.
