Continuing the push toward awards season, the new trailer for director Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci has arrived. In it, Lady Gaga takes center stage as a calculating, murderous fashionista plotting to take control of her family.
The film takes its basis from a true story: in 1998, a court convicted Patrizia Reggiani (Gaga) of hiring hitmen to kill her ex-husband Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver). Reggiani had hoped to take control of the family’s fashion empire away from her in-laws, whom she feels don’t deserve the acclaim or wealth that come with the name.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
In an odd twist–one worthy of this salacious and weird story–the real Patrizia Reggiani has endorsed Lady Gaga’s casting, calling her a “genius.” Reggiani did, however, criticize the production for not paying her for her life rights, or allowing Gaga to meet with her to discuss her character.
Have a look. Whether high art or salacious trash, House of Gucci looks like a very good time. The film lands in theater November 24.
