The singer, who has developed a reputation for her outlandish dress sense, said her essentials include “lots of latex”.

"Wigs, purple shampoo and high heels,” she added.

But despite offering advice, Lady GaGa said she had no plans to join the hordes of people dressing up this year.

"So I'm pretty excited about going out and not dressing up, because I heard that a lot of people are dressing like me," she told a US radio station.

Instead, the singer said she would spend her evening “sloppy, like maybe face-down somewhere in a bar”.

As previously reported, Lady GaGa is due to re-release her debut album on November

A special edition of 'The Fame: Monster', which also includes eight new songs, will feature a lock of the singer's hair.
