LADY GAGA risked a serious wardrobe malfunction when she appeared to have stepped out minus her underwear in New York City today.

Lady Gaga flashed the flesh while out in New York today

The 30-year-old singer dared to bare as she seemingly ditched her knickers and went commando in a pair of cut-away denim shorts.

The Perfect Illusion singer flashed a little more than she bargained for in the minuscule numbers as she exited her car and sashayed into an adjacent building.

Gaga – real name Stefani Germanotta – put a Western spin on the ensemble by pairing the tiny denims with a pink leather jacket and a cowgirl hat.

Flashing the flesh once more, the chart-topper layered the cropped jacket above nothing but a skimpy bra.

She finished the look with outlandish thigh-high boots that were rendered in a ripped, acid wash, denim fabric.

In true superstar style, Gaga shielded her eyes beneath over-sized aviator shades, and pulled her trademark blonde locks into an easy ponytail.

The Grammy-winner appeared to be having a busy day as she stopped by her parents’ Italian restaurant in the city, before visiting radio DJ Howard Stern’s studio.

During the interview, Gaga silenced rumours she is enjoying a romance with A Star is Born co-star Bradley Cooper.

“It’s not like that,” she said. “Bradley is a household human being in every way. I can’t tell you the level of professionalism I experience with him working.

“I think more than anything we have a very honest and authentic relationship in that we’re really friends.”

Asked if the possibility of love scenes could ignite sparks between the pair, Gaga affirmed: “Absolutely not.”
