Dissecting the fashion of “Rain on Me”

Culture / May 25, 2020

The long weekend had a fitting soundtrack: “Rain on Me” by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande.

As with a lot of Lady Gaga music videos, “Rain on Me” was a visual treat. The fashion direction was led by Nicola Formichetti.

Let’s talk first bodysuits. Lady Gaga and Ariana switched out among different skin-tight numbers while they showed off dance moves.

The dramatic opening shot starts with a pink and gray latex suit by Vex Clothing.

The boots are from Club Exx Clothing. Her second sets of corsets are custom-made by designer Michael Ngo. He collaborates often with Ariana but also with Jennifer Lopez, Lizzo, Kesha, and Camila Cabello.

For Gaga’s drip bodysuit, they tapped SSIK. The brand is a favorite among drag queens like Jan, Trinity the Tuck, and for entertainer Amanda Lepore.

Crazy, right? And we haven’t talked about hair nor makeup. But what can I say? Trust that when it comes to Lady Gaga, a music video is a complicated production and a one-of-a-kind fashion show.
