Lady Gaga Sunbathing In Cheeky Bikini Shamed For 'Showing Everything'

Lady Gaga went buns out for a jaw-dropping bikini pose in 2021, showing off her carefree spirit as she lounged around in the sunshine. Stripping down to a tie-dye bikini, the 38-year-old highlighted her pert rear and toned legs on an ocean-facing path, largely delighting her Instagram followers but sparking backlash elsewhere. When users on The Daily Mail saw the photos, they shamed the Haus Labs founder for displaying so much skin, with one fan even frowning on her for "showing everything." Fans would likely agree that while Gaga's thong bikini was cheeky, it was far from fully exposing.

Scroll for the photos. Lying with her back to the camera and from a concrete path, Gaga soaked up the California sunshine while modeling a multi-tonal swimsuit in splashes of blue. Flaunting her incredibly fit figure, the "Bad Romance" hitmaker showed off her shapely waistline and legs, drawing the eye to her peachy backside as she braved that butt-baring thong.

Propping herself up with her forearms and letting her brunette locks hang down in one photo, Gaga showed hints of her makeup-free face, looking relaxed and a million miles from her usual stage-ready self.

Enjoying a dry area with splashes of water on the concrete, Gaga suggested that she might have been for a swim, with the second photo upping the ante a little as the singer hoisted her hips up for an even more glamorous pose. A mermaid emoji was the only caption as fans left Lady Gaga over 3 million likes. The post also snagged celebrity likes from singers Rita Ora, Noah Cyrus, and Bebe Rexha.

Thinking that Gaga was behaving in a self-obsessed manner, one user accused the star of paying outlets to circulate her photos. "She loves the attention - paying for articles here almost daily," they said.

Another, meanwhile, replied:

"Funny how 'celebrities' complain they've been used, treated like pieces of meat etc but then go on to show everything they've got at every given opportunity." Also deeming the pop sensation a hypocrite was the fan replying: "Don't objectify me BUT at the same time look at my bum." Lady Gaga is known for celebrating female empowerment. Likewise, for her candid and vulnerable reveals regarding her past experiences as a victim of sexual violence.

More recently, Gaga has been making headlines for the fall 2024 release of her latest Joker: Folie à Deux movie. In the summer, she made Paris 2024 Olympics headlines and continues to remain a talking point for her sightings with fiance Michael Polansky. Fortunately, some positive feedback was left on the bikini snaps. "I just absolutely love her, She's been inspirational and inspiring despite her own Demons. Sooo much looking forward to more material always from her," one fan gushed.

Gaga is followed by over 57 million on her Instagram.
