The Hollywood star with Italian heritage arrived in her ancestral homeland for the 81st Venice Film Festival. Lady Gaga was spotted stepping out of a car alongside her boyfriend, Michael Polansky.
The singer and actress wore a black silk mini-dress decorated with white polka dots. The structured skirt, featuring a large bow at the waist, beautifully highlighted her figure. She completed the look with dark gray opaque tights and classic black suede stiletto heels.
Gaga chose a makeup style with coral lip gloss while hiding her eyes behind sunglasses. Her platinum blonde hair was styled in loose curls, with the front strands pulled back into a high ponytail. Michael Polansky opted for a casual look, wearing a white T-shirt under a black shirt, paired with a matching windbreaker, jeans, and black-and-white sneakers. He also sported dark sunglasses.
The couple held hands as they posed for photographers. Once on a boat, the six-time Grammy winner pulled her fiancé close and shared a tender kiss in front of onlookers. During the moment, Stefani placed her hand on his chest, showcasing her stunning engagement ring, which features a large, luxurious diamond gifted by the 46-year-old businessman.
Lady Gaga announced their engagement during the Paris Olympics in July, introducing Michael as her fiancé while speaking with French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal. However, sources close to the A Star Is Born actress revealed that the proposal had actually taken place months earlier—Michael had presented the ring to her on her 38th birthday in March.
At the Venice Film Festival, the Oscar-winning star presented *Joker: Folie à Deux*, a musical psychological thriller directed by Todd Phillips and a sequel to the 2019 film *Joker*. Joaquin Phoenix reprised his role as the titular character, while Lady Gaga portrayed Harley Quinn. The movie is set to be released in theaters on October 4.
