Label Text:Lady Gaga wore an oversized Marc Jacobs suit to ELLE’s Women in Hollywood event in 2018. The suit’s design exaggerates the “masculine” proportions of the classic suit. Gaga related her decision to wear the suit to her experience as a survivor of sexual assault, saying “I decided today I wanted to take the power back. Today I wear the pants.”
