Lady Gaga Unveils First Flying Dress [Photo & Video]

American musician Lady Gaga  unveiled a high-tech, white vehicle she bills as the world's first flying dress.

The dressed named 'Volantis' lifted her up inside a mammoth building at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where she held a launch party for her new album on Sunday.

The battery-powered dress has six booms in a hex formation. Watch video below


The 27-year-old New York entertainer said later that this was "maybe a small step for Volantis" as she calls the metal dress but "a big-time step" for Lady Gaga.

"Although she is a vehicle,” she said of the dress, “she is essentially a metaphor for me. I will be a vehicle today for their voices."

Then, in a black leotard and helmet, she donned the dress and lifted off the warehouse pavement. The dress was controlled by a technician she referred to as her “pilot.”
