Elevation! Lady Gaga

Elevation! Lady Gaga puts on a very leggy display in fishnet tights and 12 inch Alexander McQueen heels as she hits U2 gig with fiancé Taylor Kinney

Her fiancé Taylor Kinney has already gifted her with a ten-carat, heart-shaped diamond engagement ring.

And on Sunday night Lady Gaga showed off her latest lavish present from her hunky husband-to-be, strutting out of her New York hotel in her new 12-inch Alexander McQueen heels.

The singer pulled out all the stops as she headed to U2's Madison Square Garden gig with Taylor, where the Born This Way singer took to the stage in another pair of her new favourite heels, bought for her at auction by her devoted fiancé.

The 29-year-old star showed off her eccentric sense of style as she strutted out of her hotel, showing off her long legs in a pair of fishnet tights and little else.

Gaga added black underwear and a skimpy top to her look, covering up with a statement coat from Alexander McQueen, which featured graffiti writing sprawled across the back.

Her hair and makeup were equally striking with a platinum blonde hairpiece adding plenty of volume.

Gaga added some sparkly eye decoration, finishing off the glam look with plenty of eyeliner and a glossy lip.

A pair of round retro sunglasses added to the look, but the most standout accessories were Gaga's sky-high heels.

The green snakeskin pair were in the same style as the height-enhancing heels that the fashion-lover first wore five years ago at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards.

When she hit the stage at U2's New York gig on Sunday, the singer wore another version of the handcrafted shoes as she joined Bono and co for a rendition of Ordinary Love.

Gift: Gaga's snakeskin designer heels were a present from Taylor who bought her three pairs of the shoes from her favourite designer at a charity auction

The two designs plus another pair of heels were a present from the star's doting fiancé Taylor, who bought the designer shoes for $295,000 at a Christie's New York auction last week, reports Footwear News.

A delighted Gaga couldn't wait to show off her new shoes on Instagram over the weekend, sharing a photo of herself posing on her NYC balcony as she thanked her man in the caption, calling him the 'best fiancé ever.'

As well as putting a smile on Gaga's face, kind-hearted Taylor also contributed a huge sum to charity with his purchase, as profits from the auction went to UNICEF, which has earmarked the money to help earthquake victims in Nepal.

He filed for bankruptcy this week but that hasn't stopped 50 Cent from living the high life.

The 40-year-old rapper was spotted grabbing a first class flight out of JFK Airport in New York on Thursday and looked happy and relaxed as he made his way to Radio One studios in London the following day.

Despite his financial woes, 50 Cent flashed a thumbs up and even cracked a smile for waiting photographers.

His scheduled appearance in the British capital - which had long been planned before his bankruptcy came to light - is to take place just one day after further details of his financial troubles emerged.

As well as the other millions of dollars he owes, it has been reported the rapper even needs to pay back a substantial amount of money to a member of his own family - his grandfather.

In documents obtained by TMZ, it was revealed that the music star owes his grandfather $1,737.33.

This is in addition to $137,880 to Bentley and $64,909 to American Express, among several others.

He owes in total, as was revealed in a federal Bankruptcy Court filing on Thursday, $28m, with his biggest creditor being Sleek Audio.

The Florida-based headphone company are owed $18,428,257 from the rapper - who is thought to be one of the wealthiest hip hop stars in the world - after winning a judgement over him stealing a design.

The In Da Club hitmaker filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy on Monday, listing his assets and liabilities at between $10million and $50million to a federal bankruptcy court.

The bankruptcy filing, which would protect 50 Cent from paying creditors, came days after a jury ordered him to pay $5 million to a woman who appeared in a sex tape that went online in 2009.

And he commented about his financial situation during an appearance on Conan O'Brien's chat show on Wednesday.

What he owes: The rapper owes a total of $28 to a range of creditors, including $18,428,257 to Sleek Audio over a court order in regards to a headphone design

The rapper was asked about the chapter 11 filing and he replied: 'Yeah, I need protection.'

Fiddy went on to explain the price of fame and the mark that fortune leaves on a person for others to take aim towards.

50 Cent explained: 'You get a bullseye painted on your back when you're successful, and it's public to know you've become the ideal person to have lawsuits for.'

In the aforementioned sex tape, 50 Cent poses as his alter ego Pimpin' Curly, sporting a wig and speaking in an artificially high voice, as he narrates the Florida woman's sexual encounter and mocks fellow rapper Rick Ross, who has a child with her.

That was not the only controversial topic the Candy Shop rapper touched on as he discussed poking fun at fellow rapper and mogul P Diddy after he allegedly got into a fight with his son's football coach.

Shortly after the reports of the incident between the 45-year-old rapper - real name Sean Combs - and the UCLA coach happened, 50 was quick to post videos and memes shedding light on the situation.

Revealing: The 40-year-old rapper claims that he needed protection due to his success as 'it's public to know you've become the ideal person to have lawsuits for'

50 explained: 'I poked fun at it because it didn't seem like a real serious thing.

'It starts bad in the news and kind of makes its way to something positive and no one reports it when it starts to become positive.

'And as it started to, you know, work its way out, I felt better about poking fun of it.'

Off the hook: On the show 50 also addressed poking fun at Diddy who recently landed into hot water over an alleged altercation wtih his son Justin's football coach at UCLA

Two weeks ago Diddy escaped being charged with aggravated assault as Los Angeles County district attorney spokesman Ricardo Santiago said the office decided instead to turn the case over to the Los Angeles city attorney's office, which could file lesser misdemeanor charges.

Regardless of how serious his financial and legal issues are 50 seems to have a good sense of humour about it as he posted a photo of himself posing with a Smart Car on Instagram Tuesday.

He claimed that his Southpaw co-star Jake Gyllenhaal snapped the photo which he captioned: 'Times are hard out here LMAO'.
