The newly released track marks the first glimpse into The Devil Wears Prada 2 soundtrack, playing over a behind-the-scenes sequence set during Milan Fashion Week as models prepare backstage. Directed by Parris Goebel, the music video plunges viewers into a striking showcase of avant-garde fashion, featuring an array of statement looks from leading luxury houses – including creations by Indian designer label Gaurav Gupta.
Let’s take a closer look at the duo’s bold, spiked statement looks courtesy of the Indian fashion house!
Lady Gaga and Doechii serve a spiky statement in custom Gaurav Gupta
“No matter what, you got to strut,” the duo snarl, as they make a commanding first appearance in custom ensembles by Gaurav Gupta for their “Runway” music video, featured in The Devil Wears Prada 2. Leaning into a bold, alternative aesthetic, both Lady Gaga and Doechii sported sculpted, body-hugging silhouettes adorned with crystals, pearls, spikes, and metallic studs, effortlessly turning the dance floor into a runway!
Lady Gaga stunned in a pearl-toned, fully embellished corseted bodysuit, intricately hand-encrusted with crystals and pearls that reflected light with every movement. In contrast, Doechii embraced a darker, edgier aesthetic in a black corseted bodysuit layered with spikes and metallic studs over a base of sequins and crystals, her look further amplified by dramatically long twin ponytails.
Gaurav Gupta explained on his April 28 Instagram post, “Both looks are constructed as single-piece silhouettes with integrated face coverings, extending from head to toe to merge body, garment, and mask. Realised over 800 hours of handwork by a team of artisans, each piece is embedded with over 3000 crystals, creating a dimensional, immersive surface.”
Other couture looks in the video
Beyond the striking creations by Gaurav Gupta, the performance unfolds as a larger-than-life fashion spectacle, weaving together a vibrant mix of looks from emerging talents and couture heavyweights. The video opens on a dramatic tableau of dancers posed in eclectic designer ensembles, setting the tone before Lady Gaga and Doechii make a theatrical entrance in a custom red twin suit by LUAR, tailored as a single, shared silhouette.
The styling leans unapologetically maximalist – the duo step out in matching black Opera Platforms by Thom Solo, while in another moment, Gaga switches into custom red crocodile Opera heels by the same designer. Throughout the video, they cycle through a series of standout, largely custom-made looks, including a sculptural gown by Miss Claire Sullivan, pieces from Bad Binch TongTong, avant-garde designs by Robert Wun, and, of course, the now-signature Gaurav Gupta catsuit – each look amplifying the video’s bold, high-fashion narrative.
