Lady Gaga looks like a million bucks—thanks to her 24-carat gold-plated wheelchair!
On March 12, photographer Terry Richardson posted a new picture of his pal, who recently had surgery, to her social media website Little Monsters.com. In it, Gaga's holding court in her new ride. And the 26-year-old was spotted in the new set of wheels the same day outside her New York City hotel.
