Reptilian chic: Lady Gaga appears far from comfortable in peculiar leather ensemble as she arrives at LAX ahead of 12-hour flight to Tokyo

She rode into the AMAs on Sunday night on a giant white puppet horse, wearing a lilac gown, before swapping into a dazzling strapless silver number for the ceremony, a sequinned leotard for her performance and then a skin-tight crystal-covered bodysuit for the afterparty.
The following morning, Lady Gaga unsurprisingly donned yet another striking ensemble as she arrived at LAX for a flight.
Hardly dressed appropriately for her transcontinental expedition, the star was clad in what can best be described as Alien meets a scaly fish.

High flyer: Lady Gaga rocked up to LAX on Monday morning clad in yet another out-there creation, just hours after riding into the AMAs on a giant white puppet horse

Showstopping: The singer made quite the entrance as she emerged in the striking ensemble, consisting of a sheer maxi-skirt and leather top with voluminous round shoulders and intricate cut-out detail that flowed into a fish-like tail

The 27-year-old drowned her petite figure in the black creation, which consisted of a sheer maxi-dress and a leather top with voluminous round shoulders and an intricate cut-out design down the torso that culminated in a long tail-like train all the way down to the ground at the front.

The elaborate number didn't feature any arm holes, leaving the singer's hands to poke out from under the hem at the sides, while she teamed it with towering black platform boots.
The Applause hitmaker was still wearing her hair in the same long, sleek platinum blonde style that fell down to her waist as the night before.

Easy does it! The 27-year-old carefully slid out of the passenger seat, ensuring she didn't get her towering platform heels caught in her dress

She appeared to be wearing very little make-up, with just a rosy hue on her lips and bronzed cheeks, while she kept her eyes covered by large kooky round black sunglasses.
'Getting ready to leave for Tokyo! I can't hardly wait! *packing extra rhinestones* for Japanese little monsters here I come! Xx,' she tweeted in the early hours of Monday morning, ahead of her flight.
As always, Gaga took the time to take photos and sign autographs for fans, who had gathered for a glimpse of the icon.

She pulls up well: The star was remarkably fresh-faced following her late-night revelry the evening before, wearing little make-up apart from a rosy hue on her lips and some bronzer, though she kept her eyes covered under dark round shades

Blondes have more fun: The Applause hitmaker was still wearing her hair in a long, sleek platinum blonde style that perfectly complemented her porcelain skin tone

However, as she lifted her arm to pull a claw pose with one lucky fan, the songstress's top lifted up to accidentally expose her black thong underneath - not that it's anything we haven't all seen before.
It's not known whether or not the performer actually endured the roughly 12-hour flight in her bulky garb or if she changed into something more comfortable - pyjamas, perhaps? - but it's certain she'll emerge in Tokyo in yet another stunning, jaw-dropping creation.
Despite her jam-packed evening, during which she performed her new song, Do What U Want, with R Kelly, the star still managed to look rested and was in good spirits as she made her way through the airport just a matter of hours later.

And what is a trip to the airport without a little duty free shopping?
