But the chameleon chameleon managed to transform herself in a very different way last night, when she dressed as late film icon Marilyn Monroe.
The superstar singer curled her hair and wore lashings of red lipstick as she paid tribute to Marilyn on what would have been her 86th birthday.

The 'Born This Way' singer, who is currently on the Japan leg of her world tour, managed to find the time to self style herself in the Marilyn-esque way.
She wrote to her followers on Twitter who she calls her Little Monsters: '#HappyBirthdayMarilyn They'll never take our blonde hair and lipstick.'
Her Marilyn tribute comes as the Hollywood Reporter reported Digicon Media s planning to 'revive' Marilyn Monroe for a live concert later this year.
The performance will incorporate the same technology used during the surprise performance by the late Tupac Shakur at this year’s Coachella Music Festival.
Gaga like the late Monroe, has become an iconic figure who is never too far away from controversy.
As well as sharing the 'blonde bombshell' and 'troubled star' labels previously, both women also chose to perform under stage names rather then reveal their true identities.
The star is currently on the road touring her latest album Born This Way, which includes dates in London and across Europe.
