Lady Gaga impressed us all on the red carpet this year. But when she wasn’t promoting A Star Is Born in voluminous, avant-garde designs (see: this Valentino gown, that pink, feathered masterpiece, and the Alexander McQueen number that had her looking like a Victorian queen), she was out on the street, and whew, did things get steamy. Gaga wore everything from plunging pantsuits to bodycon, cleavage-baring dresses in bright orange and patent leather.

Her signature platforms took her sexiest minidresses to new heights, and date night with Christian Carino was just the start of these memorable outfits. Oftentimes, Gaga opted for sheer gowns at premieres and film festivals, showing off her figure in the best possible light in front of the cameras. Ahead, count down Lady Gaga’s sultriest moments of 2018 with us.

Eleven days into 2018, Lady Gaga was already making a statement in a plunging Versace pantsuit. She touched down in Barcelona, Spain, in the look, which was accessorized with the brand’s iconic logo-covered pieces.

In January, Gaga went out for dinner at Da Giacomo in Milan wearing this red velvet sheer-paneled gown, which she cinched at the waist with a belt.

Was Gaga’s Armani Privé Grammys look sexy? You bet it was. Later in the evening, she even shed her skirt to reveal a full-lace bodysuit, accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.

After a brief hiatus from the public eye, Lady Gaga was back on the street style scene in May. She appeared in Greenwich Village, NY, in a mod look consisting of a Giambattista Valli pussy-bow top, Chanel miniskirt, and glitter boots from Rochas.

In late May, Gaga stepped out in NYC wearing skintight Dolce & Gabbana lace, complete with a corseted top.

While out with her beau Christian Carino later that evening, Gaga sported a patent Giuseppe Di Morabito dress with sky-high, strappy platforms.

Gaga attended the 2018 MTV Movie and TV Awards in June in Santa Monica wearing an Alexander McQueen look equipped with a sheer panel skirt and red belted bustier.

In late June, Gaga stepped out with Christian in NYC wearing a leopard minidress with a leather moto coat swung over her shoulders, finished with her signature platforms.

In late August, Lady Gaga left her hotel in Paris wearing a House of CB bodycon dress with a Celine handbag, Ray-Ban sunglasses, and Jimmy Choo heels.

Lady Gaga’s photo shoot at the Venice Film Festival made us weak at the knees. The star wore a Jonathan Simkhai dress with edgy details and her Hedi Slimane for Celine bag.

Lady Gaga showed off a classically sexy LBD on the streets of Venice in September.

On September 8, Gaga attended Entertainment Weekly‘s Must List Party at the Toronto International Film Festival. She turned to the side to show off the jaw-dropping leg slit on her sequined Armani Privé gown, accessorized with shoulder-skimming Amwaj earrings.

Gaga showed off her one-shoulder Ralph & Russo dress at the press conference for A Star Is Born at TIFF in September.

That same evening for the A Star Is Born TIFF premiere, Gaga slipped into this sheer-detail sequined midi dress with a strappy back.

At the post-screening TIFF event for A Star Is Born, Gaga changed into this sculptural Ralph & Russo gown with pink lining and a superhigh leg slit.

At the end of September, Lady Gaga dared to bare some leg in London in this Gareth Pugh leather dress and over-the-knee boots.

Gaga headed into October in a bedazzled statement dress with ruching at the waist, which she debuted during a night out in NYC.

One of Lady Gaga’s most powerful moments of the year came in October at the Elle Women in Hollywood celebration in LA. The star selected the perfect look for the occasion: an oversize Marc Jacobs suit teamed with Giuseppe Zanotti booties, a look she referenced in her important speech about being a victim of sexual assault. “I decided today I wanted to take the power back. Today I wear the pants,” she said. It was her confidence that stood out to us that day. It was her confidence that was sexy.

In late November, Gaga wore a stunning Azzedine Alaïa halter gown with eyelet details and Amwaj diamond earrings for the American Cinematheque Award presentation in Beverly Hills.
