In September 2015, Lady Gaga stepped onto the red carpet at the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, showing a dramatically different side of her style.
Attending to support her American Horror Story co-stars, the singer traded her usual avant-garde fashion for a minimalist, Old Hollywood-inspired look that still captivated fashion critics.
