The best look at Lady Gaga's Harley Quinn costume and makeup arrives in new Joker: Folie à Deux set photos. The sequel brings Joaquin Phoenix back as Arthur Fleck a.k.a. Joker after his Oscar-winning portrayal from the 2019 movie. The big difference with the sequel is that he will be paired with Lady Gaga, who joined Joker 2 as Harley Quinn. With production underway, there have been various glimpses of Joker's return and teases of Harley's role.Now, Just Jared has shared new Joker 2 set photos that feature Lady Gaga in her full Harley Quinn costume and makeup while filming continues.
After an official image was released teasing Lady Gaga's Harley Quinn, these new photos put her in a look that is more common for Joker's love interest. She has clown face paint markings on her eyes, a red jacket, and a white and black checkered shirt. Even Harley's leggings have a diamond checkered pattern to them.
How Lady Gaga's Harley Quinn Costume Compares To The Comics & Movies
Lady Gaga's Harley Quinn costume for Joker 2 includes nods to how the character usually looks in the comics, but it is not a direct translation from the source material. This follows how Joaquin Phoenix's Joker look is a unique take on the classic DC villain. Lady Gaga's Harley Quinn costume retains the diamond checkered patterns commonly associated with the character in the comics, while the red, black, and white overall color scheme is very much in line with Harley's comic looks.
The Joker 2 set photos of Lady Gaga's Harley Quinn costume and makeup also show how different she will look compared to Margot Robbie's Harley from the DC Universe. Robbie has been shown in a variety of outfits during her tenure as Harley Quinn. Most of her costumes do not look like Joker 2's Harley, although she did wear a checkered design dress for part of Suicide Squad.
So far, the biggest piece of Harley Quinn's look that is missing from Lady Gaga in Joker 2 is a more accurate hairstyle. Harley's hair almost always has some color to it, whether that is pink, blue, red, or black. Lady Gaga's hair does not have any hint of color, but that could change as Joker: Folie à Deux's story unfolds.
