Lady Gaga staggers out in her signature high heels after recovering from hip operation

It must have been agony - months of wearing flat shoes for the flamboyant, platform heel loving star.
But Lady Gaga, 27, has been reunited with her favourite heels as she hit the town in New York in her trademark super high boots.
Gaga's re-emergence comes after she was seen wheeling around the Big Apple in a gold wheelchair, and then kitten heels.

Reunited and it feels so good: Lady GaGa was back in her platform heels in New York as she attended a fashion party last week

A brief appearance at the premiere of The Great Gatsby revealed a severe short crop, but it seems that was a side show for the main event as she attended the Versace Versus party back to her usual self complete with long blonde hair and Frankenstein height boots.
The singer wore an asymmetric babydoll style minidress, presumably by Versace, which she accessorised with a yellow fur clutch.
However she didn't look completely confident, as she reached out to a pole for balance.

Gaga clearly can't wait to get back into the mix after being out of action for almost four months, as she reportedly played partygoers at the fashion event snippets of her new album.

The singer has been lying low since undergoing an operation on her hip to deal with a labral tear in February. She was forced to cancel her Born This Way Ball tour and doctors told her to take six months off.
She revealed on Twitter that she dealt with chronic pain for several months prior to seeking medical help, but chose to ignore its effects rather than disappoint her fans.
Gaga has kept a low profile throughout her recovery, but was photographed in Chicago, Illinois, for her birthday last month.

Riding around: Lady Gaga, shown in April, was confined to a wheelchair during her recovery

She was seen in a wheelchair while visiting boyfriend Taylor Kinney, who works on location in the city filming the NBC drama Chicago Fire.
But clearly she couldn't wait to dig out her boots as she enjoyed a night out.
However Gaga's re-emergence in heels may be somewhat premature - as doctors have banned the singer from performing until September.
Friends said the decision had left her crushed. A source told The Mirror: 'She has a bunch of projects she wants to roll on but she needs ­clearance from doctors. It’s really frustrating for her. She won’t be back in action until September.'

Feeling the pain? Gaga has been suffering pain since her operation in February

In another of her infrequent appearances, the singer - whose real name is Stephani Germanotta -  showed off a platinum blonde bob in April as she enjoyed a night at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood.
The Born This Way hitmaker was wearing white power, heavy blush and winged eyeliner and a white top with plunging back.
Accompanied by a blonde friend, Gaga looked rather sleepy as she rode home in the white convertible.

As she is taking time out of the spotlight to recuperate from her injury, Gaga was probably enjoying the rest from her dramatic hairstyles or wigs we often see her sporting.
She previously admitted in an interview that she has to get her hair cut short quite regularly because her locks are in such bad condition from all the chemicals and dye she uses.
The natural brunette told People magazine two years ago: 'I have to get a chemical haircut because my blonde hair is falling out.'
