Throwback to November 2013: Was there something in the water that week? Just days after Miley Cyrus surprised us by looking unexpectedly polished at the Bambi Awards in Germany, Lady Gaga also dialed down her usual theatrics.
The pop icon kept things relatively understated as she opened H&M’s massive Times Square flagship in New York City.

The American singer donned a hand-painted Kerin Rose Gold jumpsuit paired with black vinyl Beyond-1020 lace-up platform ankle boots by Pleaser.
The self-proclaimed queen of custom crystal accessories for celebrities, Kerin Rose Gold is the designer and founder of the New York City-based luxury eyewear line, A-Morir.

While Lady Gaga is known for collaborating with a team to craft headline-grabbing, avant-garde outfits, she opted for a more streamlined look at the H&M flagship opening in New York—balancing a vibrant jumpsuit with towering Pleaser platform boots that still carried her signature flair.
