Hey there, Little Monster! If you’ve snagged tickets to Lady Gaga’s Mayhem Ball Tour (running from July 16 through Jan. 30, 2026) but aren’t sure what to wear, don’t let your night turn into a “Bad Romance.” Our RS Recommends fashion editors have you covered.
As seasoned concert vets, we know every show brings its own style. Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour leaned into an Americana aesthetic, while Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour spanned decades of Swifty-inspired looks. Now, Gaga’s Mayhem Ball embraces gothic color palettes, futuristic silhouettes, and Mother Monster–approved accessories — think flashes of silver, animal prints, and studded embellishments.

Editor’s pick
Norma Kamali Long Gloves
You’re going to the ball, so why not dress the part? Start with a pair of dramatic lace opera gloves, which are currently more than 30% off on Revolve.
Anthropologie The Chéri Ruffled Tulle Midi Skirt
A tiered ruffled skirt is an easy, versatile pick. Pair it with a black corset or cropped top for the Mayhem Ball, then rework it after the curtain closes with a bodysuit, tank, or jacket.
SZIVYSHI Red Corset Top
If your show is just days away, this Amazon corset is a steal at under $25. With Prime shipping, it arrives in one to two business days, and at that price, there are a “Million Reasons” to add it to your cart now.
John Varvatos Daniel Biker Jacket
Although this studded bomber is on the pricier side, it’s a one-of-a-kind investment piece that will look just as good while you dance to “Abracadabra” as it will while you’re using your “Poker Face” during a game of Razz.
Amazon Lace Applique Dress
This lace dress delivers pure drama: a delicate corset, carefully placed sequins, and a ruffled, tiered skirt reminiscent of Gaga’s 2025 Coachella performance. And pssst., it also comes in a stunning red colorway.
Petit Moments Modern Buckle Bag
Expect splashes of animal print against a crowd of black, red, and white. A simple, small bag is the easiest way to add this subtle element while still carrying all of your concert essentials.
LYZOIT Square Oversized Sunglasses
No Gaga look is complete without statement sunglasses. Snag this Amazon two-pack for less than the price of a hard seltzer at the venue.
Large Brim Sinamay Boater Fascinator Hat
While you may not find the exact hat from the “Abracadabra” video, a wide-brimmed red style is the next best thing — and much easier to wear.
Levi’s 501 Original Shrink-to-Fit™ Men’s Jeans
If casual is more your vibe, you can’t go wrong with classic Levi’s and either a plain tee or a bold tank.
Rebecca Minkoff Studded Grommet Belt
A studded belt is the ideal way to stay on theme without going overboard. But if you want to add some extra flair, match it with a lace gown or tulle skirt.
For Love & Lemons Maia Teddy
This For Love & Lemons teddy feels like it was made for the Mayhem Ball — and at 61% off, you’re truly on “The Edge of Glory.”
Urban Outfitters Troye Metal Tank Top
This open-back futuristic tank is only listed in Large and XL, but don’t let that stop you; the relaxed shape makes it easy to wear, no matter your silhouette.
Lady Gaga Labubu Doll Clothes
Bringing your Labubu along to see Lady Gaga? Dress them for the occasion with this replica “Abracadabra” outfit. It’s Mother Monster meets Little Monster.
Steve Madden Rampage Black Leather Boots
Chunky, studded boots are non-negotiable. This Steve Madden pair is ready to slay the night away.
Wolf & Badger Ruffle Blouse In Red
To go full Mayhem, all you need are the essentials: ruffles (like this Wolf & Badger top), a black mini skirt, knee-high boots, and a black veil to finish the fit.
