Lady Gaga began her Chromatica Ball summer stadium tour in Düsseldorf, Germany, combining her music in a theatrical performance with avant-garde fashion. Notably, the two looks Gaga chose for the two-month tour are custom Alexander McQueen creations, which isn’t unexpected given the 36-year-old singer’s affinity for the designer brand. Yet two of McQueen’s designs donned by Gaga during the Chromatica Tour couldn’t be more different, one dripping molten gold into the metal and the other crafted with matte black leather and chunky crystals.

Along with her McQueen look, Lady Gaga wore several custom Gareth Pugh designs, including an archival piece from Pugh’s spring 2007 collection. She also wore an ethereal blood red gown from Topo Studio, which was deconstructed to reveal a Wex Latex Bloodstained bodysuit.
