Double take: Lady Gaga arrived at Carnegie Hall in New York for a charity benefit last night looking just like Nanny McPhee


Lady Gaga leaves no stone unturned in her search for style inspiration.

And last night the eccentric star apparently found it in the form of Emma Thomson's famous children's character, Nanny McPhee.

The Paparazzi singer arrived at Carnegie Hall in New York for a charity benefit in a dramatic black gown that mirrored magical time-travelling nanny's trademark cloak.

Her hair, which appeared to be a shade of grey, was pulled back into a matronly bun too.


Gravity defying: The singer was wearing strange black boots that had her walking on her tippy toes


Thankfully, there were no warts in sight and Lady Gaga gave the look her own twist with a pair of gravity defying tippy toe boots.

Later she changed into a white confection as she joined Sting on stage at a benefit concert for the Rainforest Fund's 21st Birthday Celebration.

The pair were then joined by Dame Shirley Bassey, Debbie Harry and Bruce Springsteen for a rousing rendition of Don't Stop Believin' by eighties group Journey.

The 24-year-old star wore a delicate-looking white dress that appeared to be constructed from layers of thread wrapped around her body.


Duet: Sting and Lady Gaga perform Stand By Me together during the Rainforest Fund's 21st Birthday Celebration benefit concert at the Carnegie Hall in New York


Fundraising: The stars got together to raise money on the 21st birthday of Sting's Rainforest Foundation


She also wore a matching white floral headpiece for the performance of Stand By Me, for which she played the piano.

Amusingly she had to remove one of her huge shoes in order to be able to operate the piano pedal.

The night also saw individual performances from the stars, with Elton John covering Madonna's Like A Virgin to great effect playing on his reputation as a diva queen surrounded by half-naked male dancers.


The price of fashion: Gaga removes one of her oversized shows so she can operate the pedals on the piano


Dream team: Sting, Debbie Harry, Lady Gaga, Elton John, Dame Shirley Bassey and Bruce Springsteen get together to sing Don't Stop Believin'


Mary J.Blige also made an appearance to perform a duet with Sting and actress Kate Hudson was amongst the celebrity contingent who lent their support to the event.

Meanwhile, Blondie star Debbie Harry arrived at the event in one of the Big Apple's famous yellow taxis.

The event was produced by Sting's wife Trudie Styler, who co-founded the Rainforest Foundation with her husband in 1989.


Boy, oh boy: Elton John performed with a group of dancers who wore nothing but underwear


Camping it up: Sting and Elton John get dressed up as they perform together


Since then the Foundation has been supporting indigenous peoples and traditional populations of the rainforest in their efforts to conserve their land and defend their rights.

Earlier this week Lady Gaga picked up four ECHO Awards in Berlin.

She was given the accolades for Best International Female Artist, Best Single Of The Year for her single Poker Face and Best International Newcomer.


Sting


Starry night: Sting got in tune with Mary J Blige while Elton and Debbie Harry share a hug


Gaga wore a long black crepe dress and with a black veil covering her face at a photocall at the O2 World Arena in the German capital.

The singer will no doubt be exhausted after performing in Berlin and Hamburg earlier this week as part of the European leg of her Monster Ball tour.

Her appearance in New York took place during a three-day break from her tour before she heads back to Europe - hitting the Netherlands before travelling to Belgium and France and then bringing the tour to the UK on May 27.

Messy: Pixie Lott arrived at the New Image hair salon in Shenfield, Essex, on Friday with her hair scraped back into a scruffy bun


She arrived at the hair salon with her hair scraped back in a messy bun.

But just hours later, Pixie Lott emerged from the New Image hairdressers in Shenfield, Essex, with her long blonde locks tamed into a trendy long style.

Wearing a backless cream dress from her own range for Lipsy, Pixie looked fresh and summery - despite the black biker boots she chose to accessorise the outfit.


Sleek: But she later emerged with glistening hair which had been tamed into a glamorous style


The 19-year-old singer was ensuring she was fully groomed and preened before taking to the stage at Birmingham's LG Arena on Friday night to support Rihanna on the first night of her UK tour.

But while Pixie could have chosen any hair salon to make sure her locks were in tip-top condition, the Mama Do singer opted to visit a hairdressers in the town of Shenfield, Essex - just two miles from her hometown of Brentwood.

Pixie shot to fame after releasing her debut single Mama Do last June. She has since had a string of hit singles including Boys And Girls and Cry Me Out


Support act: Pixie wore a sheer black dress as she performed before Rihanna in Liverpool last night


Rihanna's decision to ask Pixie to support her on her The Last Girls On Earth tour has secured Pixie's place as the new princess of pop, and the teenager is enjoying every second.

After performing before Rihanna in Liverpool last night, Pixie - who wore a sheer black dress for the occasion - excitedly tweeted: 'Ahh man liverpool it was the tops! I loved the crowd u lot r the besttttttt.

'I love this whole tour ting thats goin on right bout now, haha!'

Katy Perry goes kaleidoscopic for night out clubbing with Russell Brand as sexy single cover is revealed

Protective: Russell Brand keeps his arm firmly around fiancée Katy Perry as they leave Trousdale nightclub in Los Angeles


While some women shy away from bright colours and bold prints, Katy Perry has never been afraid to experiment with fashion.

The 25-year-old showed off her unique sense of style last night as she enjoyed a night out clubbing in New York with her fiancé Russell Brand.

And Katy wasn't the only one to be excited by her trendy ensemble of a kaleidoscopic-style dress and matching purple heels, as Russell couldn't keep his hands off his bride-to-be when they left Trousdale nightclub


Stylish: Katy wore a colourful dress for the evening out while Russell stuck to black


The pair were out celebrating the upcoming release of Katy's new single California Gurls, which also features Snoop Dogg.

The track will debut on U.S. radio on May 25 before its release, but has already been leaked on the internet - to the delight of many of Katy's loyal fans.

While some have likened Katy's new sound to Ke$ha, others have labelled the track the 'anthem of the summer'.

And it seems Katy is determined to get into the summer spirit early, as she took inspiration from the bejewelled bikini she wears on the cover of the single for last night's look.


Sexy: The cover of Katy's new single California Gurls shows the singer wearing a bejewelled bikini and bright blue wig


She also tweeted earlier this week: 'Having a dance party in car right now in Times Square dancing 2 my song California Gurls... We're gonna have so much fun this summer! Gahh!'

However, while Katy opted for a colourful dress, Russell stuck to his wardrobe staples of a black t-shirt and jeans - teamed with a pair of sunglasses to ward off the paparazzi's flashes.

Katy and Russell are said to be planning to marry in India later this year, with celebrity guests at the ceremony including Rihanna as Katy's maid of honour.


Trendy lady: Katy wore a short skirt and her favourite purple heels on a shopping trip in New York on Thursday


And Katy, who is thought to be planning to wear a wedding dress which shows off her flat stomach, has already started preparations - including a pre-wedding diet and exercise regime.

She said recently: 'I'm preparing a little bit here and there. I have to stop eating McDonald's and start my dance classes!'

Rude girl Rihanna squeezes into VERY revealing PVC body on first night of UK tour

Risque: Rihanna wore a variety of sexy outfits including this PVC leotard with matching boots


Rihanna wowed fans as she kicked off her UK tour in Birmingham last night, despite being over an hour late.

The 22-year-old star finally made it on to the stage at the LG Arena more than an hour after she was expected to start the show.

But at least Rihanna had a good excuse for being late - she is said to have spent the time searching for a makeup mirror in her dressing room.


Coordinated: Rihanna looked as though she was thoroughly enjoying herself as she kicked off the UK leg of her Last Girl On Earth tour


However, the singer's late arrival on stage didn't seem to bother her thousands of fans who had travelled from far and wide to see the Rude Boy star in action.

And they certainly weren't disappointed.

Rihanna kept things sexy and fresh with a variety of risque outfits including a PVC high-cut leotard, a white ribbon bodysuit and a plunging sparkly one piece.

But the singer did maintain her dignity by wearing a nude bodysuit under her more revealing costumes.


Revealing: The Rude Boy singer wowed ans with this spiderweb-style bodysuit


Having a ball: Rihanna laughed and clapped as she was cheered on by fans at Birmingham's LG Arena

And the singer also had some interesting props for the performance - including a Mickey Mouse style hard hat and pink tank, which she rode on to the stage.

Rihanna performed a selection of her hit songs including Rude Boy, Disturbia, Take A Bow, Te Amo, Russian Roulette, Good Girl Gone Bad, Umbrella and Rehab.

She was also supported by British singer Pixie Lott, who took to her Twitter page after the show to tell fans: 'The show was amaaazinn cant wait for more'
Rihanna's two-week Last Girl On Earth tour will take in venues in Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Nottingham, Newcastle, Glasgow and Belfast.


Heavy artillery: Rihanna straddles a pink tank wearing a Mickey Mouse hard hat for one song


Biker girl: She accessorised her sparkly bodysuit with some biker boots


She has also signed up to perform at the Capital FM Summerball, which takes place at Wembley Stadium on June 6.

Other stars performing at the huge concert include Usher, JLS, Cheryl Cole and Justin Bieber.

But while Rihanna is clearly in her element performing to fans worldwide, there is one person she misses when she is away from her hometown of Los Angeles - her boyfriend Matt Kemp.


Essex girl: Pixie Lott was the support act for Rihanna's show


She said recently: 'I’m touring and shooting videos for my next single so it’s going to be seven weeks before I see Matt again.

'We have to make do with Skype and phone, but I miss him. I can’t wait to see him again. It’ll probably be when I get back to America that we can hook up properly.'
