It was if Halloween had come early to the AsiaWorld-Arena yesterday as Lady Gaga fans donned platinum wigs, black leather vests, sky-high stilettos and fake blood to celebrate the singer's Hong Kong debut.
Fans arrived early to claim spots in the Monster Pit - the special zone reserved for a handful of those holding HK$1,580 and HK$1,280 standing tickets and, in the words of Gaga's website, are 'dressed to ball'.
Some took time off work and others skipped school, all for the chance of getting up close to the pop queen.
Hours before the show, Little Monsters - the name Gaga gives to her loyal devotees - were busily painting each others' faces and colouring their hair.
Andrew Lee Pat-shuen, 19, was first in line for admission.
He arrived at the venue at 4am on Monday wearing 13-centimetre stilettos and a blonde pigtail wig.
