Lady Gaga dressed as a white witch at the Glamour Women of the Year awards last night.

The "Applause" hitmaker turned up at the elegant event in New York City in a spooky attire wearing a white lace pencil skirt, matching blazer and a sheer high-collar blouse, which she teamed with bizarre platform heels encrusted with different sized pearls. The 27-year-old singer wore a long blonde mane, which she'd severely crimped into a back-combed effect and smothered her face in a white powder to give off a ghostly appearance.

Gaga criticized her facial features and claimed she looked too artificially beautiful on the cover of this month's Glamour magazine. Speaking at the awards ceremony, she said, "I do not look like that when I wake up in the morning."

The flamboyant star - who has set up a charity, the Born This Way Foundation, to combat the bullying of youngsters - went on to explain she's not interested in fashion and music, but believes her true talent lies in bringing out the best in other people: "My true talent is not the clothes, and not the music. I really feel that what I am best at is seeing the potential in other people."
