She lost her beloved childhood pet earlier this week and it looks like Lady Gaga is still in mourning for her puppy.
The star dressed in an unusually conventional outfit as she emerged from her London hotel on Thursday, but with her tear stained cheeks Gaga ensured all eyes were on her.
On another round of promotional duties in London, Gaga headed to Radio 1 to chat to Scott Mills where she was quick to defend her much talked about performance on X Factor last weekend.

Speaking to Scott Mills at Radio 1 Gaga was keen to address criticism of her X Factor performance on Sunday, which sparked a number of complaints when she performed her raunchy dance moves in nude underwear.
The star was unrepentant about her choice of attire for the family show though, telling Scott: ‘It was so funny when someone told me about the complaints and all I'm thinking is like this is like art theatre clothing, you know nude clothing in modern art dances is so normal.'
'Early in my career, to be fair, I wore similar outfits to what I wore on X Factor'.

Gaga went on to admit though that her stylist Brandon Maxwell may have the hardest job in the world thanks to her attitude to clothes:
'I give diarrhoea to my stylist every day because there'll be like this huge warehouse full of clothing that's like couture from Versace and McQueen and I'm like 'I just wanna be nude, I just want to feel the spirit of the Venus, I really want to come out of the painting'. And he's screaming at me…'
Readily admitting that her outlandish outfits have their drawbacks, the star added:
'Every single day, all the time I can't get into doorways and cars. That's why I have to do my breathing to get me through!'
Dressed in a Todd Lynn full length white dress, Gaga ditched her usual towering heels to go barefoot for her walk from the Langham hotel to her car on Friday morning.

With it's backless design, the floaty dress didn't expose too much flesh but Gaga let her makeup do the talking as she strolled outside.
With a dusting of white powder covering her features, Gaga added rosy highlights to her eyes, lips and cheeks. With her powder streaked and looking uncharacteristically downcast, it looked as though the star had been crying.
Perhaps the star's tearful mood is down to the loss she suffered earlier this week, with the htimaker telling her Twitter followers on Tuesday evening that her pet dog had died:

‘My puppy Alice died. We had to put her down, cancer ate away at a little angel. My daddy is so sad, we all are, lost a member of our family.'
She continued: ‘I love being an entertainer but it is so painful sometimes to be away from home 17 years she held on, so many memories. Nothing beats family.I remember her laying my bed, she knew when I was sad, or when I was sick. I should have been there. I just pray Alice found her wonderland.’
