Gagaloo used to dress way more provocatively!

Lady Gaga left her NYC hotel yesterday clad in a frumpy brown dress, and we're so used to seeing her pantsless roaming the streets of the Big Apple that it's going to take us a second to adjust to this new image.

Mother Monster has gotten a lot of press lately after admitting on the Howard Stern show that she was raped by an unnamed record producer when she was 19-years-old. Her revelation makes that infamous paint vomiting performance of her song "Swine" make total sense now!

"The song is about demoralization. The song is about rage and fury and passion, and I had a lot of pain that I wanted to release. And I said to myself, 'I want to sing this song while I'm ripping hard on a drumkit, and then I want to get on a mechanical bull -- which is probably one of the most demoralizing things you can put a female on in her underwear -- and I want this chick to throw up on me in front of the world, so that I can tell them, you know what? You could never, ever degrade me as much as I could degrade myself, and look how beautiful it is when I do,'" she explained to the shock jock.

She's brave to go public with her pain!
