The album cover for her new record ARTPOP is haunting enough.
But Lady Gaga surely would have given onlookers a rather large fright if she had encountered them on the Los Angeles streets on Monday.
Once again the songstress was out to shock as she stepped out wearing almost identical face paint to what she wears on the cover of her new album.
With a white background splashed with several different colours, the 27-year-old cut a rather ghostly figure with the aid of her make-up.
The look was further accentuated by Gaga's very dark brown hair and Gothic all-black attire consisting of a black pleated skirt, matching blouse Juan Mata World Cup Jersey , blazer and sky high lace-up ankle boots.
