It’s been a big year for Lady Gaga. She had a movie come out! She got engaged! She performed at the Grammys! She announced a new album! She got a haircut! And now, days before the release of Mayhem, she stayed true to the album’s title by getting another one.
Just over a month after the 38-year-old premiered a soft jellyfish cut at the 2025 Grammy Awards, Lady Gaga showed up in New York City on March 5 with a fresh chop that made good use of her previous style’s shortest layer. Ultimately, the soft jellyfish is a combo bob/long haircut situation without any seamless blend. Now, her hair is simply short… which isn’t necessarily a surprise, if you’ve peeked at the album’s cover.

Though we haven’t seen Gaga officially premiere the style yet (just wait for SNL on Saturday; it looked so cute at her table read), there’s a lot we can gauge about it from the pap-a-pap-a-razzi photos that were released of her signing autographs this week. Falling right at chin length, the short cut is a true bob, which she kept fluffy with the ends curving inward.

The short length was paired with a micro bang, which has been part of the artist’s look since the Freddie Aspiras-cut jellyfish made its first appearance. As far as color goes, she also seems to be keeping the almost-black shade—not a surprise, as Mayhem season is just beginning.
Lady Gaga’s Bleached Brows
Although her hair is dark, the Oscar winner’s eyebrows are currently a color we’re more used to seeing her in. By “a color,” I mean bleached.

Now, whether you choose to celebrate the new album launch tomorrow by bleaching your own brows, chopping your hair, paying tolls to the angels, drawing circles in the clouds, or just refreshing Spotify religiously until you see the album pop up, I wish you the happiest of release days.
