Lady Gaga is synonymous with glitz and glamour. From her meat dress to her other unconventional accessory choices, she knows how to always make a splash. Her song, “Hold My Hand,” from the soundtrack of Top Gun: Maverick was nominated for Best Original Song at the 2023 Oscars. This time around, her statement was about simplicity and natural beauty, as she performed her song in the most stripped-down public appearance yet.
Initially, because of being busy filming Folie à Deux, the sequel to the Joker film, Gaga couldn’t make the award ceremony and, by default, couldn’t perform her song. 3 days before the event, she texted the producers and said that even though she didn’t have time to put together a flamboyant performance, she did want to try something. Much to the fans’ amazement, she made a last-minute surprise appearance and left audiences in awe.
For the red carpet of the 95th Academy Awards which, starting this year, changed colors to beige, the House of Gucci star went for a full glamorous makeover and chose to wear a black Versace gown. The sheer corseted dress had a low-cut skirt and featured the famous Medusa logo of the world-renowned brand.
As she took the stage to perform her Oscar-nominated song, Lady Gaga ditched the glam makeover in favor of a makeup-free face, a black shirt, and ripped jeans paired with sneakers. According to the producers of the show, Gaga did this because she “wanted it to be raw and for people to see the real Gaga.”
The song “Hold My Hand” was written by Gaga in her studio basement, together with a friend. She said, “It’s deeply personal for me. I think we all need each other. We need a lot of love to walk through this life. And we all need a hero sometimes. But you might find that you can be your own hero, even if you feel broken instead.”
Her performance was met with a standing ovation inside the Dolby Theatre; watch below.

Why Women’s Underwear Have A Bow On Front
Have you ever wondered why women’s underwear often has that adorable little bow on the front? It’s not just for looks; there’s a nifty reason behind it.
Imagine it’s early morning, and the room is dark. You’re trying to put on your underwear, but it’s hard to tell the front from the back. Enter the trusty bow! As someone on Reddit pointed out, “That cute little addition serves as a tactile indicator,” making it easy to distinguish the front from the back. No more fumbling in the dark—just a quick touch and you’re set.
Back in the old days before elastic bands, underwear was held in place by ribbons threaded through eyelet lace at the top. Naturally, the ribbon was tied in the front for convenience. Before electricity, many had to get dressed by candlelight. Tying a ribbon behind your back in low light wasn’t practical, so tying it in the front made sense.
