Lady Gaga will recover from her hip operation in a 24ct gold wheelchair

Lady Gaga cancelled her tour so that she could have hip surgery after being left unable to walk.

Being Gaga, it seems she has plans to recover in style using a 24-carat gold leather-lined wheelchair!

The chair was designed by Ken Borochov, a designer in New York. Speaking to the NY Post, Ken said he enjoyed the challenge.

"I've never done a wheelchair but am always up for a challenge and was thrilled to create what I affectionately dubbed the Chariot... a chair fit only for a queen.

"I certainly wasn't expecting that phone call," he joked.

Gaga's photographer friend Terry Richardson has already taken a few photos of the creation, and it does look rather impressive.

What do you think? Do you admire Gaga's unwillingness to compromise on her personal style or is this just unnecessary excess?
