LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Lady Gaga, renowned for her bold and eccentric style, is reportedly embracing a much more subdued look, all thanks to her fiance, Michael Polansky.

Sources close to the couple told RadarOnline that Polansky, 41, a successful entrepreneur and Harvard graduate, has requested that Gaga, 38, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, adopt a more polished, business-like aesthetic to match his conservative lifestyle and professional image.

Lady Gaga's style shift is geared to match fiance Michael Polansky's conservative image

An insider dished, "Michael is a successful entrepreneur and a Harvard graduate who majored in applied mathematics and computer science, so he and his friends and colleagues are quite conservative."

"He made it clear that it would mean the world to him if she reined in the racy image so that they could at least look like they're attending the same parties," they added.

Sources say Polansky plans to bring Gaga into more of his business projects and treat her as a full partner, expecting her to match his serious work ethic. He also thinks she needs to dress accordingly to reflect their relationship as they begin to work together in his business ventures.

The businessman was apparently drawn to Stefani, not Gaga, and loved the casual style she embraced during their year together in lockdown.

"Michel loved the clean-scrubbed, natural look Stefani displayed when they were at home. He asked her if, now that they were about to marry, she'd focus on that look again," an insider added.

They note that Gaga, deeply in love with Polansky, is eager to please him. As they prepare for marriage and potentially start a family, she seems to be embracing his advice and taking a more reserved approach to her image.

The 'Poker Face' hitmaker is even said to be excited about the prospect of joining Polansky in his business world, as the two look forward to building their future as a power couple.

"She knows he's successful for a reason and she's happy to benefit from his wisdom," the source concluded.

Lady Gaga is embracing a new chapter in her life, and in a heartfelt interview with Elle for their February cover, she shared her thoughts on motherhood and her evolving relationship with fiance Michael Polansky.

The 'Bloody Mary' singer reflected on the idea of having children and how she hoped they would view her artistry.

"I would want my children to understand that whatever my artistry means to them is totally up to them. I would never actually want to shape it or tell them how to think about me. Maybe other than that I just did my best and tried to stay true to myself along the way," Gaga said. 

The pop star went on to reveal that she and Polansky have talked extensively about the importance of allowing their future children to find their own path.

"That’s something Michael and I have talked about a lot allowing our kids to be their own people. It’s such an intense thing for kids coming into the world. And they’re told how to think and what to believe in and how to eat. I just kind of want to let my kids find out who they are," Gaga shared.

The singer also mused on the inevitable questions her future children might ask about her career, including the potential for embarrassing moments. "My kid might one day say, ‘Mom, why do you do these things? I saw a funny video of you dressed up'. Most certainly that will happen. And you know, maybe it’s okay to say, 'What do you think?'" she noted. 

When the Elle interviewer, who has a six-year-old, cautioned Gaga about how brutally honest children can be, the singer confidently replied, "Oh, I’m ready."
