But Lady Gaga appeared to have channelled famed
Botocelli painting, The Birth of Venus, as she made a typically low-key arrival
in Athens, Greece, on Wednesday night.
Carried by two Lycra-clad hunks as she made her way
through the crowds, the 28-year-old pop princess was clad merely in a skimpy
shell bra and a racy thong while stepping off her private plane.
The 5ft1in crooner finished off her mermaid-style ensemble with a curly platinum blonde wig and glittery 9-inch platforms.
Two dancers hoisted the Do What U Want hitmaker on
their shoulders and paraded her before a crowd of her devoted Greek little
monsters.
'Thank you for the beautiful warm welcome Athens,' she
later tweeted.
'We come in the spirit of love, music, and to celebrate your beautiful history. Where classical art began. We belong together. #ARTPOP #artraveAthens.'
Gaga made sure to share three nearly nude Instagrams
from the fancy bathroom of her royal suite in Athens as soon as she arrived.
The 28-year-old pop diva wore nothing aside from a
sparkly pink thong while reclining on a blue marble shower bench.
'Aphrodite Lady Shower Greekini, feeling frisky!'
Mother Monster tweeted to her 42.2 million followers.
'Bathtime. "The Royal Suite" fit for a Goddess, or you know, a downtown New York gal with big dreams, and a lotta nerve.'
Lady Gaga will bring her ArtRave: The Artpop Ball to
the city's Olympic Stadium this Friday.
And Interscope Records will finally drop her album of
jazz standards with Tony Bennett, Cheek to Cheek, on September 23.
