Lady Gaga has once again stolen the spotlight as she joined Joaquin Phoenix and director Todd Phillips at the highly anticipated Joker: Folie à Deux press conference held during the Venice Film Festival.

Wearing a Dior couture black dress and beret, Tiffany and Co earrings, Oliver Peoples´ "Birell Sun" sunglasses, and Christian Louboutin "Daffodile" pumps, Lady Gaga shared her excitement about taking on such a complex role, stating, “Harley Quinn is more than just a character; she’s a reflection of inner chaos and rebellion. Bringing her to life in this film allows me to explore new emotional depths as an actress.”

At the press conference, there was palpable chemistry between Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix, who both bring intense dedication to their roles. Phoenix, who won an Academy Award for his performance in the original Joker, expressed his admiration for Gaga, praising her ability to fully immerse herself in the role.

"I knew from the moment we began rehearsals that this was going to be something extraordinary. Gaga brings a ferocity and authenticity that’s rare,” Phoenix shared during the event.  He also told the press that: "Stefani was like “we’re gonna sing live” and every part was sung live with a pianist on set.

As the excitement builds for the release of Joker: Folie à Deux, fans are eager to see how Gaga and Phoenix will bring their characters to life. The film promises to be a dark and emotional journey, exploring themes of mental illness, love, and the power dynamics between the Joker and Harley Quinn. It will not only expand on the gritty, intense world established in the original film but also add layers of complexity with musical sequences and a deep dive into Harley Quinn’s backstory.
