It seems like Lady Gaga listened to the complaints on Your Next Shoes about her boring black pumps and decided to return the crazy-high platform heels!

At the LA premiere of A Star Is Born in September 2018, the then-32-year-old singer, songwriter, and now-certified actress wore chunky-heeled, silver peep-toe platforms with a silver Givenchy Haute Couture gown featuring a dramatic liquid-metallic lace cape that trailed at her back.

Lady Gaga was clearly out for maximum shine that evening. She paired her already sparkly gown with dazzling Bulgari jewelry and swiped shimmery eyeshadow and silver eyeliner across her lids.

Lady Gaga’s signature style, particularly her love for towering heels to elongate her petite 5 feet 1 ¼ inches (155.6 cm) height, is a key part of her persona.

It serves as a statement of confidence, boldness, and a unique fashion sensibility, often paired with casual outfits.

While we love that Lady Gaga has returned her signature platforms, these itty-bitty 3-inch silver ones are nowhere near the league of her highest and wildest shoes.

We also wish the “Million Reasons” singer had chosen a more glittery pair of platforms, like the Giuseppe Zanotti ones below, which you can buy at Farfetch.

Not only would they have enhanced the sparkle of her overall look, but the subtle gold flecks would have also beautifully complemented her platinum-blonde hair.
