Lady Gaga’s A Star Is Born promotional tour has now entered awards-show season—and not to sound too cheesy, but a star has been born. For the 2019 Golden Globes, the first big ceremony of the year and her first big nominations (Best Drama Actress and Best Original Song), Mother Monster arrived on the red carpet wearing a stunning Valentino Haute Couture gown, complete with balloon sleeves and an extra-long train. She even matched her hair to the lavender fabric, making her look the perfect blend of pop-star Gaga and Old Hollywood glam.
