On Sunday, Gaga joined her fiance Taylor Kinney at Chicago's North Avenue Beach and jumped into the chilly waters as part of the yearly Polar Plunge to benefit the Special Olympics.
Her hair froze.
"Feels so good to do things for a good cause like the Special Olympics." Gaga wrote on Instagram. "It's great [to] donate money, but also great to donate a gesture of love for those who deserve to be showered with it."
Most importantly though, this was perhaps the first time ever that Gaga has been photographed out in public in sweatpants and a T-shirt.
In 2013, Gaga appeared on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live and The Daily Beast quoted her telling host Andy Cohen that flip flops were a "gateway drug" to sweatpants and no sex, as well as the "downfall of many relationships."
