Gaga has continued her swing through New York (she might live there; I always assume these are hotels, and maybe both are true, maybe she goes for the pap walks outside of hotels so that no one has photos of her actual front door).

(A pointy toe helps with stuff like that, milady.) But I love that she’s going for a slick boss aesthetic; she is, after all, the CEO of her own metamorphosis into Serious Actress.

She’s dressed as Grimace’s haughty thrice-divorced socialite mom who never came to any of his school plays, and mostly doesn’t talk to him because she’s not thrilled that he hangs out all day with a literal clown. And I mean… point to the lady on that one.
