Lady Gaga Stars as Harley Quinn in Joker II

Lady Gaga is set to dazzle audiences in *Joker: Folie à Deux*, releasing on October 4, where she plays Harley Quinn opposite Joaquin Phoenix. The film, a musical sequel to the original *Joker*, includes a companion album titled *Harlequin*, featuring Gaga's exploration of her character through music. At the film's premieres in Venice and London, Gaga showcased stunning fashion, including a floor-length gown and signature makeup inspired by Harley Quinn, complete with a striking red bob and a glittery teardrop. The film's release has generated excitement, although a recent song from the soundtrack drew comparisons to the theme from the Australian comedy *Kath & Kim*, with discussions surrounding its musical roots. Gaga expressed that despite the film's dark themes, the cast found moments of laughter during the production. Overall, the anticipation for the film continues to build as Gaga embraces her role both on-screen and through her music.
