Bradley cooper lady gaga a star is born

On February 27, Lady Gaga attended the 2022 SAG Awards, where she was nominated for her performance as murderess Patrizia Reggiani in House of Gucci. While she may not have taken home the statue, she did get to catch up with Bradley Cooper, her director and costar from the 2018 film A Star Is Born, which launched her movie career. (Cooper was also nominated for to his scene-stealing performance in Paul Thomas Anderson's Licorice Pizza, though the award went to CODA actor Troy Kotsur.)

In case you forgot, Gaga and Cooper had insane amounts of chemistry throughout the press tour for A Star Is Born, which caused a lot of speculation about their relationship. Remember that “Shallows” duet at the Oscars?! Well, it looks like nothing has changed. The two stars were seen talking, laughing, and hugging at the event, and you can see a pic of their embrace here.

Much like her character in House of Gucci, Lady Gaga seized her moment to pull out all the fashion stops, and her press tour looks for the film were simply stunning. After wearing head-to-toe sparkles at the L.A. premiere, she donned another shiny gown for the SAG Awards. 

The white Armani Privé dress featured a crystal-bedazzled bustier peeking out from behind white silk. Decked out in Tiffany & Co. diamonds, a sleek wing on her eyelids, and wavy platinum hair, she was every inch the glamorous Old Hollywood star.

Reflecting on the occasion on Instagram, she wrote, “My true wish tonight is that for two hours myself and my fellow actors at @sagawards would have made the public smile. I’m honored to have been there, it is a privilege to be an entertainer. There are many reasons the world gives us all the time NOT to smile. I’m praying tonight for Ukraine and am sending smiles to all your hearts I pray will be whole soon.”

The A Star Is Born costars lovingly embraced one another while attending the star-studded event, smiling as they reunited more than three years after their award-winning film was released.

While Cooper, 47, looked handsome in a classic black suit and bow tie ensemble, Gaga, 35, looked stunning in a custom plunging white Georgio Armani Privé white silk satin gown featuring a glittering embroidered bustier.

"I'm just so glad God gave her the talent that she has and he chose her because that's quite a vessel to go through," Cooper said of Gaga.

Added the father of one: "Because it's really what you do with it, and she's such a beautiful human being."

In turn, Gaga had nothing but nice things to say about her costar and their connection, revealing that she essentially started treating him like family from the get-go.

"We had instant chemistry when I met him," Gaga said. "As soon as I opened the door to my house and saw him, it was like, 'You hungry?' We're both Italian and from the East Coast and before I knew it, I was heating up some leftovers for him and we were eating together."
