Lady Gaga takes the bull by the horns in matador-style outfit for Cannes performance

Lady Gaga takes the bull by the horns in matador-style outfit for Cannes performance - She may be in France for the Cannes Film Festival.

But Lady Gaga opted for a decidedly Spanish theme as performed on French television show Le Grand Journal today in a matador-style ensemble.

The 25-year-old singer was clad in an intricate black and gold outfit, which was sheer from the stomach down.

She finished off the look with a bright red cape, reminiscent of matador's flag, which was attached to her hair and fastened around her arms.

Earlier she went to a soundcheck, wandering around the stage in black lingerie, tights and studded leather boots.

Gaga had done away with her fox-inspired hairdo, which she was sporting yesterday, and instead was wearing a Cruella De Vil-esque platinum blonde wig with a black fringe.

The New York-born star is currently promoting her second album, Born This Way, which is set for release later this month.

Next stop on the tour is London, where she is set to perform a secret show this week, ahead of her show at Radio One's Big Weekend in Carlisle on Sunday.

The Born This Way singer has certainly been jetting around of late.

At the weekend, she played the Robin Hood Foundation Annual Gala in New York, just days after performing in Mexico City and jetting to Los Angeles to mentor young hopefuls on American Idol.

And it's not just hairdos that the star produces at great volume.

It has been confirmed today that the star will be released single Hair next Monday - after released track Edge Of Reason this week along with the video for single Judas, which cost an estimated £6.2million.

The star said of her fans' responses to Edge Of Reason, reportedly inspired by the death of her grandfather: 'Been crying reading all your beautiful messages for my new song. It means so much to ME.' ( dailymail.co.uk )
