Outrageous singer Lady GaGa clearly struggled to decide on the perfect outfit for her appearance at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards in New York last night.

So instead of opting for just one outfit the eccentric singer changed an amazing five times as she performed at the ceremony in Radio City Music Hall where she received an award for Best New Artist.

Gone GaGa: The outrageous singer’s bizarre blood-red lace dress and mask combination was one of six outfits she wore to the MTV 2009 Video Music Awards in New York last night

As well as her trademark futuristic leotards, the ‘Pokerface’ singer who arrived at the show with Miss Piggy’s paramour, Kermit the Frog, donned a number of bizarre ensembles for her moment in the spotlight, notably a red lace mini dress with matching mask and headdress.

As she stepped onstage to accept her award from rapper Eminem it was clear that underwear was not one of the priorities for her wardrobe, as she failed to wear a bra underneath the revealing dress.

Lady in red lace: GaGa wore the dress with matching mask, which she removed to thank ‘God and the gays’

Famous for stepping outside in nothing more than a pair of Lycra panties, GaGa arrived on the red carpet in a Victorian-style high necked dress with feathers, a golden mask straight out of ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ and a golden neck brace.

Later she took to the stage for a raunchy performance complete with blood-spattered vest, white knee-high boots paired with an asymmetrical lace belly-baring top and white underwear.

To accept her Best New Artist award she donned the striking red lace outfit, including a mask covering her entire face.

Drama: GaGa arrived at the ceremony wearing a high-necked Victorian style dress bedecked with feathers, and after the show wore a padded corseted playsuit and black glitter boots

However, she had to remove the lace mask and accompanying hat in order to be heard when she gave thanks to ‘God and her gays’.

Then when Beyoncé won Video of the Year and graciously invited Taylor Swift onstage to properly accept her award for Best Female Video after she was rudely interrupted by rapper Kanye West, the camera panned to Gaga wearing what looked like a white wreath-type head wrap.

It’s been an astonishing year for the new artist who has garnered column inches mainly for her fashion choices rather than her raunchy pop music.

Last night’s ceremony was opened by Janet Jackson who paid tribute to her brother, Michael with a stunning performance of their duet Scream.

Russell Brand hosted the annual awards in front of celebrities including Katy Perry, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Swift and Eminem.

The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards will be shown on MTV at 9pm tonight.
