Since the very first images from the set of “House of Gucci” appeared back in March, fashion fans have been following the parade of period-appropriate, flashy couture looks. The first trailer gave a wider glimpse into the film’s deliciously over-the-top fashions, accents and drama, which covers three decades of Italy’s wealthy Gucci clan. While Lady Gaga, playing Patrizia Reggiani, is at the center of the film, Adam Driver, Salma Hayek, Jared Leto and Al Pacino also sport some notable and sometimes startling ensembles from the 1970s through the 1990s. Janty Yates is the costume designer, and the production has been given full access to the Gucci archive.
“House of Gucci” is based on the story of Reggiani, who grew up in a poor family in Northern Italy. After her mother married a wealthy businessman, Patrizia followed in her footsteps by marrying Maurizio Gucci of the illustrious luxury goods dynasty, played by Driver. When he divorced her, Patrizia hired a hitman to have him murdered in 1995. After serving 18 years in prison, she was awarded millions of dollars from her ex-husband’s estate. Reggiani is reportedly annoyed that Gaga has not met with her regarding the role.
Directed by Ridley Scott, “House of Gucci” opens on Nov. 24.
Here are some of the top looks from the film that have been revealed so far.

Gaga for Goggles

Here she sports Christian Dior ski goggles and a belted burgundy ski suit while sipping an espresso and uttering the instantly-immortal line, “I don’t consider myself to be a particularly ethical person, but I am fair.”

Driver sports a cozy cream-colored Aran pullover, recalling the “Knives Out” cable-knit moment, along with period-perfect outsized aviator glasses. Gaga, meanwhile, seems to already be thinking evil thoughts while donning a white fur Cossack hat, a snug black turtleneck and scads of jewelry even on the slopes.

All in the Family

Stayin’ Alive
