Lady Gaga dropped jaws everywhere when she arrived at the 2017 Grammy Awards red carpet in one of her most daring looks yet.

The 30-year-old superstar wore a Metallica-inspired barely-there black leather top with embellished sleeves, leather short shorts with chain detailing, fishnet tights and black platform thigh-high boots.

Read on to see fan reactions to the skin-baring outfit, and why some are saying it was the perfect retort to body shamers.

While some are writing the look off under "she's just being Gaga," others are saying that the flashy outfit was in response to body shamers during the Super Bowl LI Halftime Show, where people harassed her on social media, calling her "chubby," among other things.

​

Gaga herself took to Instagram the day after the Super Bowl to clap back at body shamers, saying, "I heard my body is a topic of conversation so I wanted to say, I'm proud of my body and you should be proud of yours too. No matter who you are or what you do. I could give you a million reasons why you don't need to cater to anyone or anything to succeed. Be you, and be relentlessly you. That's the stuff of champions. thank you so much everyone for supporting me. I love you guys. Xoxo, Gaga."
