She hit headlines earlier this year when she unveiled her curvier figure after gaining 30lbs.

But now Lady Gaga has shed her extra weight, and showed off her new look as she stripped to a bikini while on holiday in Mexico earlier this week.

The 27-year-old singer displayed her toned figure in a floral two-piece while soaking up the sunshine with her friends.

Looking back to her confident best, Gaga smiled widely as she was photographed.

Clearly conscious of the strong sun, Gaga teamed the bikini with a wide-brimmed white hat and sunglasses to protect her pale complexion.

Later, Gaga was seen wearing a pair of wide-legged cream trousers over the bikini as she made her way back to her hotel.

The singer's footwear choice could have been slightly more sensible, however, as the singer was seen wearing a pair of black heeled court shoes, which she them removed to walk along the sands.

The heels were even more inappropriate considering Gaga's recent operation on her hip back in February for a labral tear.

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's impressive bikini body comes after some unflattering pictures of her on stage in Amsterdam last September led to the singer revealing she had gained 30lbs.

Following the shots, Gaga admitted in an interview that she had put on weight, telling Stylist magazine: 'I don't really care if people think I'm fat, because, quite honestly, I did gain about 30 pounds.'

Gaga later blamed the weight gain on her restaurant owner father's cooking.

She told radio host Elvis Duran: 'I love eating pasta and pizza. I’m a New York Italian girl. That’s why I have been staying out of New York. My father opened a restaurant. It's so amazing.

'It’s so freaking delicious, but I’m telling you I gain five pounds every time I go in there. So my dad wants me to eat at the restaurant, and I’m, like, I’ve got to go where I can drink green juice.'

Gaga added: 'I really don’t feel bad about it, not even for a second. I have to be on such a strict diet constantly. It’s hard because it’s a quite vigorous show, so I tend to bulk up, get muscular, and I really don’t like that. So I’m trying to find a new balance.'
