Lady Gaga’s Iconic Hair Color for 2020 MTV VMAS

Last night, at the MTV VMA’s Lady Gaga made history by taking home four awards, the most of any artist of the night, and performing a nine-minute medley of hits from her latest album Chromatica.

Gaga wowed viewers with eight outfit changes. Complementing her statement looks were wavy, waist-length strands tinted with grey, and blue. Using products from haircare and color brand Joico, Gaga’s longtime stylist Frederic Aspiras created the singer’s dreamy, mermaid-like locks.
