The Hollywood star with Italian roots arrived in her ancestral homeland to attend the 81st Venice Film Festival. Lady Gaga was captured as she stepped out of a car, accompanied by her boyfriend, Michael Polansky.

The singer and actress wore a black silk mini-dress adorned with white polka dots. Its structured skirt, complete with a large bow at the waist, cleverly accentuated her figure. The look was completed with dark gray opaque tights and classic black suede stiletto heels.

Lady Gaga opted for a makeup look featuring coral lip gloss, while hiding her eyes behind sunglasses. Her platinum blonde hair was styled in loose curls, with the top strands pulled into a high ponytail. Michael Polansky, meanwhile, went for a casual ensemble, pairing a white T-shirt with a black shirt, matching windbreaker, jeans, and black-and-white sneakers. The Harvard graduate also sported dark sunglasses.

The couple held hands as they posed for the cameras. Once aboard a boat, the six-time Grammy winner pulled her fiancé close and tenderly kissed him on the lips in front of onlookers. During the moment, Stefani placed her hand on his chest, showing off her stunning engagement ring, which featured a large, luxurious diamond gifted by the 46-year-old businessman.

Lady Gaga announced their engagement during the Paris Olympics in July, introducing Michael as her fiancé while speaking with French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal. However, sources close to the A Star Is Born actress revealed that the proposal had actually occurred months earlier—Michael had presented the ring to her on her 38th birthday in March.

At the Venice Film Festival, the Oscar-winning star presented Joker: Folie à Deux, a musical psychological thriller directed by Todd Phillips, and a sequel to the 2019 film Joker. Joaquin Phoenix reprised his role as the titular character, with Lady Gaga portraying Harley Quinn. The movie is set to be released in theaters on October 4.
