Some people more cynical than ourselves may have suggested that Lady Gaga's attention grabbing get ups are nothing more than to generate headlines and sell records.
However, we have proof that her eccentric style was around long before anyone knew what a disco stick was.
Pictured aged nine in the latest photo to be unearthed from her childhood album, Gaga can be seen with lids thick with black eyeliner and her lips rouged, wearing a black dress which looks to be straight out of a dressing up box.
Lady G tweeted the snap last night, writing: “Me when I was 9. God bless my mother.”
Well, we should have never doubted that she was Born This Way.
