Trust Lady Gaga to ride out her injury in style.
The injured pop star commissioned Ken Borochov of the luxury brand Mordekai to create a one-of-a-kind wheelchair to recover post-hip surgery.
The result? A 24-Karat gold plated chair with a black leather seat complete with a removable leather canopy. The chair can also recline all the way back if Gaga needs to lie down.
Celeb shutterbug Terry Richardson captured an image of Gaga in her new chariot (below).
Borochov, who’s designed pieces for Nicki Minaj, Kanye West and Cher Lloyd, said about Gaga’s wheels, “I certainly wasn’t expecting that phone call and have never done a wheelchair but am always up for a challenge and was thrilled to create what I affectionately dubbed the Chariot, a chair fit only for a queen.”
The celebrity stylist had only one week to complete the project. Equal parts luxury and rock and roll, Borochov was inspired by a queen’s throne for Gaga’s chair and the leather portions were inspired by a motorcycle jacket.
Gaga underwent surgery last month to repair her injured hip that’s forced her to cancel the remainder of her world tour.
