It’s crazy hot in New York at the minute, with temperatures balancing out around the 90 degrees fahrenheit mark. 

But even so, Lady Gaga perhaps took her attempts to cool to the extreme by stepping out in a tiny black lacy bra.

The anti-wallflower wore just a frilled balconette bra with a tiny black skirt and a pair of her trademark boots, and if she wasn’t Lady Gaga, she may well have been pulled aside for flashing.

Barely decent: Lady Gaga stepped out in New York on Thursday just wearing her bra, a tiny skirt and boots

There are different rules for the 27-year-old star, however, so she was allowed to flash away as she strutted down the New York sidewalk.

Then, perhaps unsure as to whether she’d garnered enough attention, Gaga hopped into her car and stuck her giant boots out of the window to air.

For good measure, she shoved a cheeky monkey toy up into the car window.

What a transformation: Gaga, sucked in stomach or no, is much thinner now than she was

  Gaga set to perform first major gig since surgery at the iTunes festival in London.

Gaga was in a wheelchair and recuperating since undergoing hip surgery in February.

According to Britain’s Sun newspaper, Gaga’s team are spending £500,000 on the production at the iconic venue.

A source told The Sun: ‘The gig in Camden has a huge budget and is likely to be the first anyone sees or hears of her album. The Haus Of Gaga team have been working in secret on costumes and stage sets for the show from their base in Paris.’

‘Gaga’s dancers have also been rehearsing but she’s only told her closest friends about the new direction she’s taking. The music is going to be a big departure and Gaga’s dreamed up a whole new image for the album.’

A spokesperson for the singer was unavailable for comment.

The show will be part of the iTunes festival and Gaga will join the likes of Justin Timberlake, Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys and Elton John over the event’s 30 nights of shows.

Gaga has sparked speculation she has recently undergone a nose job, after it appeared more streamlined at a recent Gay Pride event.

The  singer took to the stage to speak at the celebration in New York and her nose appeared to be slimmer and smaller.

A spokesperson for Gaga refused to comment on the claims.

Gaga has spoken out about her looks and in a past interview claimed she would never go under the knife.

Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar in 2011 after sporting prosthetic horns and claiming they were her ‘bones’ she said: ‘I have never had plastic surgery, and there are many pop singers who have.’

‘I think promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification.’

She continued: ‘And how many models and actresses do you see on magazine covers who have brand-new faces and have had plastic surgery, while I myself have never had any plastic surgery?’
