Lady Gaga takes the plunge in a daring low cut number slashed to the thigh

But Lady Gaga opted for a different kind of daring today as she left her Los Angeles hotel.

The 25-year-old star strolled along in a clingy black dress with a plunging neckline and slashed to the thigh, teamed with her trademark towering platform heels.

Gaga’s hair was platinum and long, and she wore sweeping eye shadow, bright red lipstick and a beauty spot.

The singer was heading out to perform a concert in Hollywood on the late night Jimmy Kimmel Show.

She stopped and waved to the faithful fans who had been waiting patiently outside the Château Marmont Hotel in West Hollywood.

Earlier, the singer had sent out bags of McDonalds takeouts to the group, who she nicknames ‘Little Monsters.’
