She is an internationally known pop star who has dozens of top hits to her name.

She has toured the globe, has 13 Grammys, had residencies in Las Vegas and continues to make new music.

She has also worked in Hollywood, earning an Oscar and starring in movies alongside acting greats like Adam Driver and Bradley Cooper.

She’s even played a lead role in Ryan Murphy‘s hit TV serial ‘American Horror Story’. And this fall, she’ll return to our screens in a major superhero movie sequel.

In a recent Instagram post, however, she looked almost unrecognizable with dark hair and bleached brows.

Who is she?

She has toured the globe, has 13 Grammys , had residencies in Las Vegas and continues to make new music. Who is she?

She is Lady Gaga.

In the striking selfie, the 38-year-old megastar – who usually has blonde tresses – is seen on a lawn overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Malibu, where she owns a home.

She wore a black-and-white floral print dress over a lacy bra, accessorized with a chunky crystal bib necklace.

Her lips were nicely made up with a peach-toned lipstick.

Gaga is known for her impressive shapeshifting, stunning fans with her incredible transformations and daring looks.

Recently, she donned a giant blonde wig with loose curls for the music video of her latest song – a rousing duet with Bruno Mars titled ‘Die With A Smile’.

Gaga is also expected to sing on her upcoming movie, ‘Joker: Folie A Deux’ – the sequel to the smash-hit 2019 ‘Joker’ film starring Joaquin Phoenix.

The singer-actress will play Lee, a version of Harley Quinn, from the DC Comics world, and appear alongside Phoenix, who is reprising his role as Arthur Fleck, a failed clown who becomes the Joker.

Gaga is also expected to sing on her upcoming movie, ‘Joker: Folie A Deux’ – the sequel to the smash-hit 2019 ‘Joker’ film starring Joaquin Phoenix.

Fans will see Gaga’s Quinn working as a music therapist in Gotham City’s Arkham Asylum. There she meets Arthur, who is incarcerated, and becomes fascinated with him.

The pop star says she purposefully altered her performance in the film to ensure audiences could clearly understand she was ‘playing a character’.

In a recent interview with Empire magazine, she said: ‘People know me by my stage name, Lady Gaga, right? That’s me as that performer, but that is not what this movie is; I’m playing a character. So I worked a lot on the way that I sang to come from Lee and to not come from me as a performer.’

The ‘Poker Face’ hitmaker added that she included ‘plenty of bum notes’ in her vocal performances in the movie, in order to guarantee audiences wouldn’t just see Lady Gaga when they watched Lee on screens.

She explained: ‘For me, there’s plenty of bum notes, actually, from Lee. I’m a trained singer, right? So even my breathing was different when I sang as Lee.

‘When I breathe to sing onstage, I have this very controlled way to make sure that I’m on pitch, and it’s sustained at the right rhythm and amount of time, but Lee would never know how to do any of that.

‘So it’s like removing the technicality of the whole thing, removing my perceived art form from it all and completely being inside of who she is.’
