Gaga & doechii unleash runway riot: couture clash and a fashion forecast
With just four days until ‘Devil Wears 2’ drops, Lady Gaga and Doechii have detonated a visual explosion – a hyper-saturated Music video for ‘Runway’ that’s less a song premiere and more a full-blown fashion statement.
A campy spectacle of extravagance
Directed by Parris Goebel, the video is an unapologetically maximalist affair, crammed with stripes, strobe lights, and a strategically placed rain shower. The result? A dizzying display of avant-garde looks, ranging from bejeweled bodysuits to elaborate ballgowns – outfits that wouldn’t look entirely out of place gracing the 2026 Met Gala.
Designer spotlight: emerging talent and couture icons
What’s truly interesting here isn’t just the sheer opulence, but the carefully curated selection of designers. We’re seeing a strong showing of emerging voices alongside established names. Take, for example, Daniel del Valle’s fall 2026 collection, represented by that striking, vase-like top worn by Gaga – a testament to his ability to transform everyday objects into wearable sculpture. Robert Wun’s spring 2026 couture collection also makes a significant impact, with a structured blue blazer and dramatically voluminous skirt adorning Gaga, complete with a hand-shaped headpiece and veil.
Beyond the bespoke pieces, the video showcases a diverse roster, including Luar, Bad Binch Tong Tong, and Gaurav Gupta. Notably, Miss Claire Sullivan delivers a standout contribution with those extra-wide silk-taffeta gowns – a clear homage to the opulence of Marie Antoinette.
A statement on style as a life force
Dochii, styled by Sam Woolf, matches Gaga’s energy with equally head-turning ensembles, drawing from Viktor & Rolf couture, Gaurav Gupta couture, Harris Reed, and Miss Claire Sullivan. Sullivan’s gowns, reminiscent of the Rococo era, are a particular highlight. It’s a clear demonstration of the duo’s dedication to showcasing both up-and-coming talent and the enduring power of established houses.
Gaga and Doechii aren’t simply performing a song; they’re delivering a manifesto. As the track itself proclaims: ‘You were born for the runway – Monday through Sunday.’ And judging by this video, they’re determined to live that statement to the fullest.
