What a frill: Lady Gaga greets the crowd from the MTV studios in New York's Times Square wearing a huge white frilled netting hat



Lady Gaga left her dressed-down beach days of earlier this week far behind when she got back to work to appear on MTV in the U.S. yesterday.



The 25-year-old star rocked up to the station's New York studios in her more usual out-there attire, wearing a titanic white titfer that looked like a enormous powder puff and matching white lace dress with angular hips and netting sleeves.

She was on the station to talk about her new video You And I - as well as to announce that she would be opening the stations Video Music Awards, or VMAs, on 28 August.



Writing on her Twitter last night, she said: 'Thank you little monsters for making this week so memorable.'

She continued: 'I am so excited to be OPENING THE VMA'S this year. Pinch myself everyday. Pinch myself everyday. So happy you love the new video too! What a week! #Monster4Life.'



However, on last night's show, Gaga didn't reveal exactly what she has planned for her grand opening set at the bash at the Los Angeles Nokia Theatre.



The singer's plans to top that show - and the designs for what she'll be wearing - will remain shrouded in secrecy until the event.
