Hayley Williams Fangirls Over Lady Gaga’s ‘Indie Disco Baddie’ Look for ‘Harlequin’ Listening Party
Hayley Williams is sending love Lady Gaga‘s way, from one alternative fashion queen to another.
Following the pop superstar’s Harlequin listening party in London on Wednesday (Sept. 25), the Paramore frontwoman shared a picture of Gaga’s look at the event on Instagram Stories and wrote, “When Gaga serves up this specific flavor of punky indie disco baddie.”
“she looks so cool i wanna live,” Williams added.
Indeed, the “Rain on Me” singer arrived in peak Gaga style Wednesday night. Channeling her Joker: Folie à Deux character Harley Quinn, the 13-time Grammy winner wore a pinstripe dress, diamond-patterned tights and a spiky red mullet with blue eye shadow dripping into a colorful tear on her right cheek.
At the event, Gaga hosted a small group of Little Monsters and reportedly played them her upcoming LP Harlequin, which drops Friday and serves as a companion album to the Joker sequel. In clips posted by fans, Gaga sings along to her tracks and dances in the center of a group of partygoers. Other fans shared the selfies they were able to snap with the star.
The outing came just one day after Gaga announced Harlequin, which precedes her seventh studio album arriving in February. On Tuesday (Sept. 24), the A Star Is Born actress shared the project’s cover art and track list, featuring a number of recognizable standards such as “Get Happy.”
“It has so much of the music that’s in Joker, as well as some original pieces that I wrote for the film,” Gaga explained on the red carpet at the Folie à Deux London premiere, which took place shortly before the fan event. “And one that’s for the album only, which is called ‘Happy Mistake.’ It’s all this really interesting, original production.”
