Not deterred by the icy Arctic temperatures that have hit North America this winter, Lady Gaga and her beau Taylor Kinney, who recently became engaged, braved the freezing temperatures of Lake Michigan in Chicago for the annual Polar Plunge.

The event aims to raise funds for the Special Olympics. While Lady Gaga’s appearance was actually a surprise, Wedding Crashers star Vince Vaughn  was also in attendance, as the guest of honour.

Gaga hopped on the back of her new fiancé Taylor, who was also accompanied by his Chicago Fire co-stars David Eigenberg and Randy Flagler.

Vince Vaughn meanwhile stumbled and fell into the icy waves, but everyone involved put the Ice Bucket Challenge phenomenon that swept the world last year, to shame!

Given that Gaga even said that her wig froze, it must have been insanely cold! Lady Gaga may have worn some crazy outfits and wigs before but that was taking it to a whole new level!
