Well it was bound to happen... Lady Gaga takes a tumble thanks to her ridiculous choice of footwear

Steady now: Lady Gaga loses her balance as she lands at Heathrow airport wearing super high platforms


For most people, a long flight means donning floppy trousers, socks and earplugs that drown out the snoring and dribbling chap next to you.

But not for Lady Gaga, who emerged at Heathrow airport fresh from New York dressed in an outfit that made her look like a cyborg from a sci-fi movie.

Not for her the hardy perennial Ugg boots or trainers. Instead, the pop star had squeezed herself into a bizarre mix of thigh-high black leather chaps and platform heel-less boots.

However, to her shame, the singer – who prides herself on her cutting edge and outrageous fashions made by her very own design team, Haus of Gaga – came crashing down as she lost her balance on the ridiculous boots.

Although she tried hard to steady herself, the 24-year-old star still tumbled over as it became clear these boots, designed by Noritaka Tatehana, were most certainly not made for walking.

Lady Gaga, who infamously wore a red PVC gown when she met The Queen, accessorised with glittering red eye patches, and teamed her boots with black pants and a black bra along with a mesh top.

She also wore a bizarre bandana tied around her bleached blonde bob, sunglasses and scarlet lipstick.

The singer has spent the better part of two years crafting an eccentric public persona.

She is causing a consternation in America after appearing on a new cover of Rolling Stone magazine clad in nothing but a machine-gun bra – and not much else.

Speaking about her avant-garde image, Lady Gaga admits in the interview: ‘When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl, then I say, "... you're Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today".’

So invested is she in her onstage persona, for the sake of her fans, Lady Gaga says she won't even hydrate during a performance.

‘I don't even drink water onstage in front of anybody, because I want them to focus on the fantasy of the music,’ she confessed.
