Lady Gaga, an Italian girl from New York, revealed her first look at her transformation into Patrizia Reggiani, Maurizio Gucci’s ex-wife, in the next film about her murder.
“House of Gucci”, directed by Ridley Scott, portrays the true story of the fall of the Gucci family dynasty. Adam Driver is playing Maurizio Gucci, the former head of fashion at Gucci.
Gaga shared a photo on Tuesday of the couple on the screen posing on a snow-covered mountain, with the caption “Signore and Signora Gucci”, which translates to Mr. and Mrs. Gucci. Channeling post-ski chic, Driver is wearing a knitted turtleneck sweater and a separate white jacket around his waist, while Gaga is wrapped in gold chains and all dressed in black with a white Cossack hat.

The film, which is currently being shot in Europe, dramatizes the events surrounding the murder of Guccio Gucci’s grandson, Maurizio. Patrizia Reggiani was tried and convicted of orchestrating the murder of Maurizio Gucci in 1995, after he left her for a younger woman. She served 18 years in prison, where she earned the nickname Black Widow, before being released in 2016.
“House of Gucci” marks Gaga’s first film role after her Oscar-nominated performance in “A Star Is Born”. Driver received Oscar nominations for “BlacKkKlansman” and “Marriage Story”.
Roberto Bentivegna wrote “House of Gucci”, based on Sara Gay Forden’s novel “The House of Gucci: a sensational story of murder, madness, glamor and greed”. The star-studded cast also includes Al Pacino, Jared Leto and Jeremy Irons.
The film, set at MGM, is due to hit theaters on November 24th.
