The Shallow singer stunned in a gigantic yellow diamond, which was previously worn by Audrey Hepburn in the classic 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Lady Gaga turned heads at the Oscars when she turned up on the red carpet wearing a stunning 128.54-carat diamond necklace from Tiffany & Co.
The A Star is Born singer, who performed the film's Oscar-winning track with co-star Bradley Cooper after it won the Academy Award for Best Song, accessorised the blinging necklace with a black Alexander McQueen evening gown.
However, the gigantic yellow diamond has an incredible story of its own - it was once worn by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Breakfast at Tiffany's is a romantic comedy starring Audrey Hepburn as a New York socialite looking for a rich man to marry.

Gaga's appearance in the show-stopping piece of jewellery marks the first time the diamond had been seen on a red carpet.
Reed Krakoff, Tiffany & Co. Chief Artistic Officer, said: “Lady Gaga is the ultimate creator, innovator and rule breaker, and I’m thrilled that she will be wearing the legendary Tiffany Diamond on the awards show red carpet for the first time since it was discovered 141 years ago."
