Lady Gaga always proves she is a fanatic fashionista and will choose style over comfort any day, but the unpractical block heels that pop star insists on wearing have finally proved too much.

After a day of modelling for famous photographer Annie Leibowitz in New York, Lady Gaga had to be carried by her bodyguard to the last set for the rest of the shoot.

Lady Gaga carried by the bodyguard as she couldn't walk in her block heels.

The bodyguard was seen holding Lady Gaga up throughout the day as she walked around the sets in the block heels.

Lady Gaga, 25, who was carried from a car in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, was wearing a spectacular feather hat, twice the size of her head.

Her hat was paired with a sheer gold, full-length gown with a fur boa and a thin gold belt.

Lady Gaga's photographs will feature in Vanity Fair magazine

The photographs will feature in Vanity Fair magazine and are likely to be stunning, judging by Annie Leibowitz’s previous work.

Annie Leibowitz, 61, shot the 1991 Vanity Fair cover featuring pregnant Demi Moore naked, and the classic 1994 image of Kate Moss and her then boyfriend Johnny Depp on a bed at the Royalton Hotel, again in New York.

Lady Gaga today’s photo shooting took place on the streets of New York City.
