She never does anything by halves.
And remained true to form on Monday, when the pop superstar turned the red carpet into her own personal stage, stripping off layer after layer of haute couture clothing, all the way down to her sequined underwear.
The 33-year-old’s outfit metamorphosis began with a massive Brandon Maxwell-designed magenta gown, the gigantic train of which was at one point was dramatically fanned out by several attendants.

She lives for the Applause! Lady Gaga performs a dramatic strip tease on the red carpet of the Met Gala on Monday
Joined by her Haus Of Gaga fashion director Brandon Maxwell, the Academy Award nominated actress hit the A-list event in a manner destined not to be soon forgotten.
The gown -which bore a striking resemblance to the bright dresses worn by British artist Grayson Perry- featured a massive train which was carried by several attendants.
A huge magenta bow perched atop the Poker Face hitmaker’s blonde bob wig completed the look.
However this was just the start of Gaga’s -whose real name is Stefani Germanotta- transformation, as she soon stepped out of the colossal garment, revealing a relatively simple strapless black dress underneath.

The new stage of Gaga’s outfit showed off the A Star Is Born actress’ toned arms – and many tattoos.
The New York, New York born stunner was quickly handed a black umbrella that matched her outfit, which Gaga promptly opened up and held aloft.
This outfit too was short-lived though, as the Judas songstress soon ditched it in favor of yet another magenta dress – this one a slinky, form-fitting dress worn over chunky platform heels.

Feted: The Met Gala is the annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute and is the most glittery and exclusive event on the New York fashion calendar
Best of the best: It is famous for attracting luminaries of Hollywood, of fashion, music, sports, TV and the stage for an evening of fashion and charity to mark the museum’s spring exhibit
The Met Gala is the annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute and is the most glittery and exclusive event on the New York fashion calendar.
It is famous for attracting luminaries of Hollywood, of fashion, music, sports, TV and the stage for an evening of fashion and charity to mark the museum’s spring exhibit.
This year, the exhibit and gala are dedicated to the idea of ‘camp,’ as defined by Susan Sontag’s 1964 essay Notes on ‘Camp.’
The Met Gala, formally known as the Costume Institute Benefit, is always chaired by a team of high-wattage celebrities, and this year is no exception.
It girl: The event is chaired by pop star and actress-of-the-moment Lady Gaga, tennis star Serena Williams, and singer Harry Styles, along with Gucci designer Alessandro Michele and, as always, Vogue editor Anna Wintour
Ticking all the boxes: Wintour said she believes this year’s Met Gala to be about ‘self expression’ and ‘individuality’, noting that she wanted to see ‘outrageous, fun, tongue in cheek’ fashion on the red carpet

The new theme seems decidedly more lighthearted than last year’s hugely successful Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination, about the relationship between fashion and Catholicism.
That sumptuous, sprawling show drew more visitors than any Costume Institute exhibit — more than 1.3 million to the Met’s main Fifth Avenue location, and nearly 200,000 to its Cloisters branch — and indeed was one of the most attended shows in the museum’s history.

Coquettish: Gaga strikes a feline pose on the steps of the illustrious event
‘Fashion is the most overt and enduring conduit of the camp aesthetic,’ said Andrew Bolton, curator in charge of the Costume Institute and creator of its blockbuster shows. Bolton said the 2019 show would ‘advance creative and critical dialogue about the ongoing and ever-evolving impact of camp on fashion.’
The exhibit will feature approximately 175 objects, not only clothing but also sculptures, paintings, and drawings.
Designers to be featured in the show include: Cristóbal Balenciaga, Thom Browne, Gucci, Marc Jacobs, Charles James, Christian Lacroix, Karl Lagerfeld, Prada, Versace and many more.
The Camp: Notes on Fashion exhibit will run from May 9 through Sept. 8.
