Lady Gaga stunned onlookers by performing a strip tease at the Met Gala 2019 on Monday night (07.05.19).
The singer-turned-actress made heads turn on the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art pink carpet in New York, when she stepped out wearing a voluminous fuchsia-pink Brandon Maxwell gown accompanied by five dancers, the fashion designer and A-list make-up artist, Sarah Tanno.
To celebrate this year's theme, Camp: Notes on Fashion, Gaga, 33, arrived in the iconic pink cape dress, which featured a giant bow and 25-foot train, and changed into four more looks using the red carpet as her very own stage.
The 'A Star Is Born' actress - who used an umbrella, sunglasses, and 1980's mobile phone as props - unzipped the bow-embellished look to unveil a black corseted ball gown underneath, and later slipped off the dress to reveal a Barbie-pink column gown, that featured a 28 carat diamond butterfly choker from Tiffany & Co's Blue Book collection.
For her final look, Gaga bared all in front of cameras wearing a black crystal embellished underwear set, fishnet tights and platform boots, whilst pulling along a custom Haus of Gaga drinks trolley.
In an emotional Instagram post following the event, Maxwell thanked Gaga for a "decade of friendship" and being his "date" to the extraordinary party.
Maxwell captioned a photo of the singer with the words: "Wow, what an incredible night. I was blessed to even be invited! Thank you to Anna Wintour @voguemagazine for just being super kind. Thank you to my date @ladygaga for a decade of friendship and for making me truly believe I could have the life I dreamed of. Thank you to @sandraamador.xx & @tomeerebout for your years of friendship and fearless vision.
