Lady Gaga is ringing in the new year makeup-free.
On Tuesday, Jan. 7, the singer, 38, shared a heartfelt message via Instagram, showing off a fresh-faced look as well as her dramatic bleached brows.
In the clip, Gaga shares her gratitude for her song with Bruno Mars, “Die with a Smile,” reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 list. She appears to be wearing little to no makeup and has long, center-parted bleached blonde hair to match her brow look.
“I’m so incredibly grateful that my song ‘Die with a Smile’ with Bruno Mars, my friend, is No. 1 on the Hot 100,” she says to the camera. “I can’t believe that I’ve had two No. 1s in three different decades that I’ve been releasing my music in this professional way.”
The “Born This Way” singer continues: “I am so honored to be an artist and to have had your ears for this long. Thank you for listening and dancing and making your art along with mine. I’m so grateful.”
Gaga also mentions that “Die with a Smile” will be included on her upcoming seventh studio album. In October, the pop star dropped the lead single for the album, “Disease.”

On the Thursday, May 23, red carpet, Gaga wore a white Selva ensemble with metal cage and grommet detail. She also sported jet black hair, creating a glam moment reminiscent of her early 2010s looks.
