The notoriously outrageous fashion icon has been spotted in some suspiciously 'normal' looking outfits in recent months.But when she turned up to the Atom Factory VMA Dinner on Friday, Lady Gaga allayed fears that her whacky style was gone for good.
Her ridiculously high platforms and incredibly low cut top suggested that the star might be gearing up for another show stealing appearance at this year's VMAs tonight.
Gaga was in danger of baring all as she posed on the red carpet before the event.
The cut of her pillar box red jacket made it very clear that the singer hadn't bothered with a bra underneath, in fact the ensemble did little in providing any support and the singer was left looking a little deflated.
Paired with her shoes, which looked at least a foot high, this display might spark hope for some fans who have felt that her fashion choices haven't quite lived up to standard recently.
And tonight's VMAs, where Gaga is due to perform, would provide the perfect setting for a return to her classic jaw-dropping flair.
She certainly has a tough act to top.
Last year Gaga dominated headlines after turning up in a dress (with matching handbag) made entirely from meat.
With the sartorial choice which polarised opinion worldwide, Gaga stole the show, and kept tongues wagging for weeks afterwards.
Understandably, the vegetarian contingent weren't impressed.
When chat show host Ellen DeGeneres, presented her with a 'veggie bikini' on Gaga insisted that she meant no disrespect to anyone that is vegan or vegetarian, and called herself 'the most judgment free human being on the earth.'
'However, it has many interpretations. For me this evening, if we don’t stand up for what we believe in and if we don’t fight for our rights pretty soon, we’re going to have as much rights as the meat on own bones. And, I am not a piece of meat,' she explained.
Since then, Gaga made an equally controversial appearance at the Grammys earlier this year.
The singer turned up inside an egg, which she later 'hatched' from during her performance, as a symbolic interpretation of her song Born This Way.
Or perhaps Gaga's male alter-ego, Jo Calderone will make an appearance.
Gaga revealed Jo in her latest video for the single You And I- a shockingly convincing male version of herself. Using this second identity, Gaga was able to play her own love interest in the video.
She'll certainly want to show the VMA competition that she still has what it takes to keep her Queen of Pop crown
Fellow nominee Adele should prove a tough rival for the Born This Way star.
Adele has been nominated for seven awards for the smash hit from her breakthrough effort, 'Rolling in the Deep', three more than Gaga, who is to open the awards.
Nevertheless, Gaga insists that she feels no bitterness towards the Someone Like You singer.
Talking to MTV news, Gaga said: 'She's a breath of fresh air and she's so exciting and her music is adding another dimension to radio that's so important.'
Gaga is still leading the way in one respect however.
The star has been nominated for an entirely new award, entitled: Best Video With A Message, for her record breaking single Born This Way.

What's Gaga got in store for the VMAs? She recently unveiled her male alter-ego Jo Calderone in her You And I video- perhaps someone to look out for at the awards?
