Lady Gaga’s Patrizia Reggiani joins the warring Gucci family and plots her takeover in the new trailer for House of Gucci.
The visual features her soon-to-be-husband Adam Driver’s Maurizio Gucci, who acquaints her with the fashion family, and it’s clear Reggiani isn’t the only person who’s conniving.
“Gucci it was a name that sounded so sweet, so seductive,” Reggiani says as the Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams” soon soundtracks the trailer. “They had it all: wealth, style, power. Who wouldn’t kill for that?” She reminds her husband that he is not the only one carrying the Gucci name after they marry as she works to put her stamp on the label and bring in “new blood.” The blood turned out to be on her hands: Reggiani was tried and convicted of plotting her ex-husband Maurizio’s murder after he left her for another woman.
“Patrizia always gets what she wants,” Lady Gaga shared on Twitter on Thursday alongside her new character poster.
