Lady Gaga Shares First Look at “House of Gucci”
by Emily Nagle
Lady Gaga has shared a first look on social media at the upcoming biographical crime film House of Gucci.
The film is based on Sara Gay Forden’s 2001 book, The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed. It will tell the true story of the murder of Maurizio Gucci (played by Adam Driver of Marriage Story and Star Wars fame), the former head of the Gucci fashion house. Gaga will play Gucci’s wife Patrizia Reggiani, who was responsible for arranging his assassination. This will be her first film role since 2018, when she played an Oscar-nominated role as singer-songwriter Ally Maine in A Star is Born.
Currently in Italy for filming, Gaga snapped a photo with Driver in front of the snowy Alps with the caption “Signore e Signora Gucci #HouseOfGucci” and posted it to Twitter and Instagram. The image has gone viral, receiving 4 million likes in a single day, and fans have made created memes based on the stars’ outfits, including comparing them to Bernie Sanders, Catherine O’Hara from Schitt’s Creek, and Chris Evans from Knives Out.
House of Gucci will be directed by Ridley Scott and produced by MGM, and is slated for release on November 24.
