    The lookalike singer and designer were pictured together with Lady Gaga's dog on a hotel balcony in Italy

    Looking more like mother and daughter than fashion designer and muse, Lady Gaga and Donatella Versace strike a pose on a balcony in Milan.

    The superstar singer was the star guest at a private dinner party hosted by Donatella at the Palazzo Versace in the Italian fashion capital and decided to give the throng of fans waiting outside a glimpse of the twosome.

    With their matching long, ironed, bleach blonde hair and Versace outfits, the pair posed for a series of pictures together on the balcony – think kissing one another, throwing roses to their fans down below and cuddling Gaga's fluffy dog, Fozzi Bear.

    As well as the balcony ensemble, the pop star was pictured wearing a black dress adorned with Versace's signature giant safety pins and embellished cowboy boots outside the luxury hotel.

    Gaga then chained again, into a red figure-hugging Versace dress with cut-out sections, which she wore with a statement belt, sunglasses and a brunette wig to pose for more pictures alongside Donatella, who wore a black leather number.

    The dinner party is the latest in the Gaga/Versace love affair. As well as dressing the singer for numerous red carpet appearances, the fashion house also allowed her to wear pieces from the label's archive for her 2011 Edge of Glory video, including an S&M-inspired leather outfit and a printed jacket.
