Powder puff girl! Lady Gaga sports huge netting 'powder puff' hat as she announces she's opening the MTV VMAs

What a frill: Lady Gaga greets the crowd from the MTV studios in New York's Times Square wearing a huge white frilled netting hat



Lady Gaga left her dressed-down beach days of earlier this week far behind when she got back to work to appear on MTV in the U.S. yesterday.



The 25-year-old star rocked up to the station's New York studios in her more usual out-there attire, wearing a titanic white titfer that looked like a enormous powder puff and matching white lace dress with angular hips and netting sleeves.





Shady lady: The star waved at the the crowd watching her outside through the glass windows of the studio





She was on the station to talk about her new video You And I - as well as to announce that she would be opening the stations Video Music Awards, or VMAs, on 28 August.



Writing on her Twitter last night, she said: 'Thank you little monsters for making this week so memorable.'





Lacey lady: The grinning star lay down on stage and gave a regal wave at one point





She continued: 'I am so excited to be OPENING THE VMA'S this year. Pinch myself everyday. Pinch myself everyday. So happy you love the new video too! What a week! #Monster4Life.'



However, on last night's show, Gaga didn't reveal exactly what she has planned for her grand opening set at the bash at the Los Angeles Nokia Theatre.



The singer's plans to top that show - and the designs for what she'll be wearing - will remain shrouded in secrecy until the event.

Creating a buzz: Lady Gaga cuts a waspish figure in a black and yellow dress as she leaves her LA home

Waspish: Lady Gaga steps out in yet another elegant dress as she showed off a black and yellow frock as she left her Los Angeles home



She might be toning down her outlandish and outrageous wardrobe but Lady Gaga is definitely not going to be headed for the knitted twin sets just yet.



Because while she may have ditched the rubber and meat and Kermit the frogs - for now - she is still making sure that she stands out from the crowd.



The singer looked very glamorous and elegant yesterday as she left her Los Angeles home in a yellow and white snakeskin dress.

That didn't last long... The illusion is shattered as Lady Gaga reveals punk platform boots under elegant dress

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER



These boots aren't made for walking: Lady Gaga leaves her LA studio and reveals chunky, punk-style boots underneath her elegant dress last night



She had us going there for a minute.



It looked as though Lady Gaga had decided to eschew the wacky - and increasingly tiresome - outfits, for good.



For two days in L.A, the blonde New Yorker had chosen classic dresses, first a classic Versace and second up, a pastiche of Audrey Hepburn's iconic ensemble from 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's.





Tired but still rocking it: Gaga retires to her Rolls Royce after a hard day, her beehive and earrings from earlier are gone





But last night as she left a recording studio in the early hours, the 25-year-old pop superstar revealed she's still got an edge.



Admittedly there were no fangs, prosthetic shoulders or horns, but the lady is not for turning... into a 'normal' celebrity.



Ten hours after disappearing into the studio, the Born This Way star emerged looked a little dishevelled.



The Hepburn homage had unravelled slightly, with the beehive loosened over the course of the session, and the large vintage earrings she modelled earlier had been removed.





Travelling in style: Gaga's Rolls Royce waits for her on Melrose Avenue





However the big reveal came when she lifted the skirt of her classic dress to reveal a diaphanous skirt over punky lace-up platforms.



And they were huge, definitely too big to walk in for very far, but happily Gaga had a matching Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe, waiting for her on the sidewalk.



It was always going to be the ultimate gimmick for the eccentric Lady Gaga.



With every visceral taboo broken, from meat dress to climbing inside a womb to feigning labour on stage, the legend had nowhere to go.



Except, of course, to the one area that no-one would ever expect, that of chic normality.





Classic: Lady Gaga looked demure and timeless for the second day in a tow as she arrived at her LA recording studio earlier

Is Lady Gaga going straight? Singer ditches the wacky attire for the second day at LA studio

It was always going to be the ultimate gimmick for the eccentric Lady Gaga.

Except, of course, to the one area that no-one would ever expect, that of chic normality.





Audrey Hepburn: Today's outfir evoked Audrey Hepburn's iconic look in Breakfast at Tiffany's





And for the second day in LA, as she arrived at a recording studio, she did just that.



Gaga, real name Stefani Germanotta, donned an elegant long black dress that clung to her dainty frame in all the right places.



With a beehive that evoked a blonde Audrey Heburn, the whole outfit was very Breakfast at Tiffany's, down to the large diamanté earrings.





Who's that girl? Lady Gaga is almost unrecognisable as she leaves a recording studio in a glamorous and normal - for her anyway - outfit by Versace





We're so used to seeing Lady Gaga step out in something original and outrageous that we almost didn't recognise her yesterday.



But it seems like the new elegant New Yorker may be here to stay.



Yesterday Gaga looked sophisticated and very high gloss in a straight black Versace dress with a stunning yellow flower pattern down one side.

Is that really you? Lady Gaga ditches the rubber and horns for sophisticated black dress and sleek glossy hair

Who's that girl? Lady Gaga is almost unrecognisable as she leaves a recording studio in a glamorous and normal - for her anyway - outfit



We're so used to seeing Lady Gaga step out in something original and outrageous that we almost didn't recognise her.



The colourful pop star certainly didn't look like her usual wacky self as she left a recording studio yesterday.



Gaga looked sophisticated and very high gloss in a straight black dress with a stunning yellow flower pattern down one side.





Flashing a bit of leg: The side split on her dress showed off the singer's lovely pins





She wore towering back heels, a gold cuff and a tiny black clutch bag as she headed home from the studio.



Her long blonde looked shiny and sleek and was swept elegantly down her right shoulder as she gracefully tottered to her car.



Gone were her 'facial horns', the rubber additions and there's was not a trace of a rump steak anywhere.





Keeping it simple: Gaga ditched the wackiness and rubber clothes for a sophisticated look





It was such a far cry from her normal weird and bizarre wardrobe that she usually steps out in that she almost went unnoticed.



And in fact, she probably wouldn't have looked out of place on a night out with The Only Way Is Essex girls.



One thing's for sure, she looked stunning, elegant and absolutely gorgeous as she smiled demurely at the cameras as she made her way to her car.





Yes, it's really me: Gaga flashes a smile for the cameras as she head home from the studio

'I couldn't speak for 48 hours': Lady Gaga reveals her devastation after learning of Amy Winehouse's death

By SARAH FITZMAURICE

I couldn't speak: Lady Gaga reveals how devastated she was when she heard about Amy Winehouse passing away

Lady Gaga has revealed she was so devastated by Amy Winehouse’s death she couldn’t speak for 48 hours.

The Judas singer appeared on The View chat show, which aired in the U.S. earlier today, and spoke of her grief, even though she never met the Back To Black singer.

She told the panel: ‘I am just so devastated and so sad and I really could not speak for 48 hours straight I was in such shock.’


'Most lovely and kind': Lady Gaga revealed how much she loved Amy, despite never meeting her, as she appeared on The View chat show

Lady Gaga then went on to explain how a lesson should be learnt from the death of the singer, who she described as ‘the most lovely and nice and kind woman’.

She told the ladies of the ABC panel: ‘I think the most unfortunate thing about it all is the way that the media spins things, like we can learn from Amy's death.

‘I don't feel that Amy needed to learn any lessons. I felt that the lesson was for the world to be kinder to the superstar.’


Black and white: The 25-year-old singer donned a dogtooth patterned outfit for her interview on The View where she gave some frank responses and spoke about Amy Winehouse

‘Everybody was so hard on her, and everything that I knew about her was that she was the most lovely and nice and kind woman.’

The outspoken singer also said: ‘You know, you can't have it both ways. You can't enjoy listening to someone sing sad songs about the blues and heartbreak and then not expect them to be truly heartbroken.’

Lady Gaga, who is currently on a promotional tour for her new single, spoke about Amy just last week on Omaha 94.1 Radio during an interview where she revealed she was often mistaken for the soul singer before she herself found fame.


Drug problem: The panel discussed the Back to Black singer's battle with drugs and Lady Gaga spoke out about how she managed to quit hard drugs

After hearing the news of Amy’s death Lady Gaga took to Twitter and posted: ‘Amy changed pop music forever, I remember knowing there was hope, and feeling not alone because of her. She lived jazz, she lived the blues.’


Take it away: Lady Gaga jumped on the piano and started singing to the audience and talk show hosts


Gaga, who has admitted to using hard drugs in the past, said she no longer did drugs apart from being an occasional user of marijuana saying ‘I am a little bit part of the green club’.

She explained how she stopped using hard drugs when her father called her out.

She said: ‘My dad was like, “I know what you're doing, and just so you know, I did it and I lost every friend and everything that I ever had while I did it.” He shared with me his life story and his struggle, so that was what ultimately changed my life. Honestly it was the best thing that happened. I never went back.’

Emotional: Lady Gaga is overcome while judging an episode of So You Think You Can Dance

This is the moment Lady Gaga broke down in tears as she watched contestants on US TV show, So You Think You Can Dance.

The Poker Face star appeared as a guest judge on the Fox network show. And she was overwhelmed by emotion when she watched Marko and Allison's routine, set to the Jeff Buckley song, I Know It's Over.

It led Gaga to admit she regrets some things she did while growing up, and she began to cry.

Film director Rob Marshall was also on the judging panel, while Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi, were in the audience.

Gaga also praised the diminutive Jordan, who she told to have and added: 'It’s no secret that I’m quite short.

Gaga then lifted her leg on to the table, showing off her 12-inch platform heels.

She joked that they were a 'fashion catheter' so she doesn’t have to get up and go to the bathroom during the show.

The singer tweeted before the show: 'At So You Think You Can Dance getting ready. I'm so excited! Tune in live tonight, I'm so excited! Everyone here is so darling!'

Yesterday Gaga took a break from her promotional tour to enjoy a night off at the Chateau Marmont in west Hollywood.

‘I just remember feeling like I wasn't alone because she was so different.’

Amy’s family and friend’s gathered to say their goodbyes to the singer at the funeral service at the Edgwarebury Cemetery in north London today, before making their way to Golders Green crematorium.
