After accidentally exposing her nipples as she arrived at the CFDA Fashion Awards, Lady Gaga decided she may as well go the whole hog at the after-party.

The flamboyant singer ended up removing her custom-made Mugler gown to just the sheer bodysuit underneath, leaving nothing to the imagination.

The 25-year-old had just nipple covers and a G-string protecting what little modesty she had left as she danced at the bash at The Standard hotel in New York.

The singer was clearly in high spirits after being named Fashion Icon at the CFDA Fashion Awards hours earlier.

Her revealing after-party outfit came hours after Gaga’s wardrobe malfunction on the purple carpet at the awards at the Lincoln Center.

Posing with her left arm clutching her turquoise wig, it was hardly surprising that the precarious outfit gave way.

Gaga was assisted by a minder as she arrived at Alice Tully Hall, staggering around in a staggering pair of 24in vertiginous platform heels.

Her dramatic outfit came complete with a ruffled train and with spikes running down between her derrière, begging the question as to how she sat down inside the awards show.

Lady Gaga accepted the Style Icon award from V magazine editor-in-chief Stephen Gan.

Accepting her accolade, she said: ‘All of you made me feel like a star before I was.

‘As much as this award means to me personally… I just want you to know how much this means to young Americans.’

Designer Marc Jacobs received one of the biggest honours of the night from the Council of Fashion Designers of America – the Lifetime Achievement Award.

The 48-year-old said: ‘This achievement is born of love, passion, creativity and a hell of a lot of hard work.

‘I believe we all know and feel the greatest reward is the process itself.’
