Lady Gaga dazzles in yellow ballgown at Elton John's Academy Awards party

Lady Gaga wowed in a ballgown at Elton John's Academy Awards party on Sunday night.

The House of Gucci actress stepped out at the music icon's viewing event, held in support of the Elton John AIDS Foundation, in West Hollywood prior to heading to the Dolby Theatre for the official ceremony.

Gaga walked the white carpet in a stunning custom-made pale yellow tulle draped gown and Tiffany & Co. jewellery, and took time to pose for photographers alongside Elton's husband David Furnish.

At one point, the Born This Way hitmaker was also joined by Elton and David's sons, Elijah, nine, and Zachary, 11.

Gaga went straight to the Academy Awards ceremony, skipping the red carpet.

She served as a presenter at the star-studded bash, and also helped Liza Minnelli unveil the winner of the Best Picture prize - which went to coming-of-age movie CODA.

For that part of the night, Gaga opted for a chic tuxedo, complete with a bowtie.
