It seems that blue is Lady Gaga [1]'s favorite color this season. After wearing two dresses [2] in light variations of the hue at the 2022 Grammys [3] last month, the "Stupid Love" singer wore an aqua bikini over the weekend. While lounging poolside to celebrate the end of her Las Vegas residency on May 1, she matched the water in a two-piece with gold-chain straps. Gaga has worn chain-detail swimwear [4] on multiple occasions in the past, and she's once again displaying her dedication to the trend this year. As she revealed on Instagram Stories, the bikini top featured a front cutout held together by another matching chain.
So, where did Gaga score this sultry swimsuit? As one eagle-eyed fan discovered [5], it looks exactly like a sold-out bikini from controversial fast-fashion retailer Shein. This would come as a surprise, considering the brand's exploitative practices and low-quality clothing, both of which go against Gaga's fashion ethos. Perhaps the lookalike Shein two-piece is a copy of a high-end creation that Gaga was actually wearing?
Gaga wound up skipping this year's Met Gala [6], so it seems she enjoyed her Las Vegas R&R to the fullest, as deserved. Read ahead to zoom in on her latest swimwear moment from every angle and shop similar in-stock bikinis.
