Lady Gaga does not let the small matter of sub-zero temperatures and snow get in the way of her outlandish fashion outfits.

The Born This Way singer paraded around the streets of New York today wearing a skimpy leotard which showed off much of her backside during the cold front.

Gaga just had a studded leather jacket and at least five pounds of weave styled into a beehive on her head to keep her warm.

The Bad Romance star was in the middle of filming an HBO special in her native city and did not seem concerned at all about the freezing weather.

She also adeptly strolled around in heel-less platform shoes that she famously fell over in while walking through an airport last year.

She accessorised her outfit with fishnet tights, heavily spiked gloves and pointed nails which were adorned with brass ornaments.

Lady Gaga continues to cause controversy every times she walks out of her front door.

She turned up to the prestigious Grammy Awards last week cocooned in an egg for her parade on the red carpet.

And on her current Monster Ball Tour she gyrates around in a see through rubber dress with just crosses to cover her nipples and wears a nun’s habit for her headdress.

Quite happy to show off her toned physique, Gaga recently revealed that her boozing helps her to stay slim.

The Paparazzi songstress said that she drinks alcohol when she works out and claimed that she is ‘on the drunk diet’.

‘I live my life as I want to, creatively. I like to drink whiskey and stuff while I’m working,’ she added.

‘But the deal is, I’ve got to work out every day, and I work out hung over if I’m hung over.’Gaga, 24, told a US radio station.

‘And it’s about the cross-training and keeping yourself inspired. I have to say, I do a ton of yoga’, Gaga revealed.

Her boyfriend, bartender Luc Carl, recently signed a deal to pen a book titled ‘The Drunk Diet’.

It tells how he lost 40 pounds ‘without giving up his principles of being a hard-drinking party maker’.

According to publishers, the tome will be based on Mr. Carl’s ‘whiskey and 5am cheeseburgers’ lifestyle, which surprisingly helped him achieve a more chiselled physique.

They say the manual will provide ‘a real shot of hope for all those sad, pudgy little rock stars out there looking to change their lives’.

But Luc, who manages New York City rock bar St. Jerome, on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, goes beyond suggesting the methods have helped him shed pounds.

He also claims he’s more fit as a result, and says he even ran up the Empire State Building in a head-spinning 17 minutes after drinking himself thin.

Luc and his pop star girlfriend first began dating back in 2005 but the pair split soon after she found fame.

They were reported as having reunited last year, after pictures of the couple kissing surfaced in several media outlets.
