'Let the countdown begin': Lady Gaga models vintage lace and a slinky white slip as she dances to German hard rock in latest AHS: Hotel teaser
Lady Gaga is known for her dramatic style, and with the newly released teaser for the upcoming American Horror Story: Hotel, it seems her character is no different.
In just 30 seconds the 29-year-old singer shows off four eye-catching ensembles, as she dances along to the fittingly unsettling sound of German industrial hard rock band Rammstein.
She is joined by a group of Omen-esque children who seem to be under her rule, which judging by the ominous footage, may not always be so benevolent.

Lady in white: Lady Gaga models four eye-catching ensembles in just 30 seconds as The Countess in the latest teaser for the upcoming American Horror Story: Hotel
Lady Gaga - whose real name is Stefani Germanotta - begins the video by exiting a vintage elevator in a stunning, lacy white gown.
The old-fashioned, demure frock features sheer panels along the front and sleeves, decorated with a shimmery, floral pattern.
The sophisticated dress is finished off with a large, silver embellishment on the chest, which coordinates with Gaga's - in character as The Countess - sky-high silver heels.
Making an entrance: The star makes quite the impression in her demure ensemble as she angrily grasps at and shakes the elevator door as the clip begins
Demure: Lady Gaga - as The Countess - looks gorgeous in a long-sleeved white gown with sheer panels embellished with floral detailing as she slowly walks down a brightly lit, white corridor
With her pinned-up curls and bright red lips she can be seen walking down a hallway as undead-looking children begin to appear on platforms that slowly roll out as if from secret passageways.
Meanwhile, lights flash, cutting to the same room - now dark and highlighted with a foreboding red tint - to show The Countess dressed in a form-fitting black gown with fur-lining along the collar as she continues to saunter down the same walkway.
The picture continues cutting back and forth until The Countess is then seen reading to the children, who sit encircled around her.
Not alone: The performer is slowly joined by a group of undead-looking children, who appear as if from nowhere as she saunters down the hall
Alternate view: As the lights flicker another view of the same hall is offered, one cast in a red glow, in which The Countess wears a figure-hugging black gown with a fur-lined collar
Some normalcy: For a brief moment The Countess can be seen reading to the children, before a more frightening persona is revealed with slashing hand motions and sinister glances at the camera
The wholesome image is intermixed with shots of her lounging in a skintight, black leotard, or sashaying in the figure-hugging black dress.
The star - who has changed her Instagram bio to read: 'The Countess Owner of 'Hotel' Cortez in Los Angeles' - then appears to be underground, as she sports a slinky, spaghetti strap white slip dress while holding onto glowing red leashes seemingly attached to the children.
It doesn't seem to be all bad for the kids though, as the strange scene then turns into a dance party, with The Countess shimmying along with a white, fur stole as the children dance as well.
Thigh's the limit: Another look showed off the hitmaker's toned legs as she lounged in a dark room, cast in a red glow
Under her command: The group then appeared to be underground as the hotel owner donned a slinky, white slip while holding onto bright red leashes that appeared to connect to the children
Showing off her moves: However, the frightening scene then devolved into a dance party, with The Countess shimmying in her spaghetti strap dress as she held onto a white, fur stole
The video plays up the red, white, and black motif as images of scissors, a child running away, and then red marbles rolling along a white floor are shown, before it ended with a few final glimpses of the stunning hotel owner.
Lady Gaga took to Twitter on Wednesday to share the new teaser, writing - along with a knife and lipstick kiss emoji - 'Let the Countdown Begin #AHSHotel #3weeks - The Countess.'
She also gave fans a peek into the inspiration behind her glamorous character, sharing: '.@TheRealDaphne not only the glove in both black&silver but my inspiration for The Countess PERIOD. Daphne Guinness.'
Playing with color: Red, white, and black appeared throughout the teaser, creating contrast and creepy imagery such as this shot
Queen bee: The final few shots of the video were saved for The Countess herself, who showed off a detailed silver glove with embellishments
Blood-thirsty: The dangerous character has been described by series creator Ryan Murphy as 'a very wealthy social doyenne who is consumed with art, fashion and people and has a nefarious plan that is revealed in the first episode that plays out over the season'
Gaga revealed that the famous artist and heiress inspired the style for The Countess, the blood-thirsty hotel owner she'd be playing alongside Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett and Matt Bomer in the new season.
Earlier this month, series creator Ryan Murphy spoke with Billboard about her character, who is 'a very wealthy social doyenne who is consumed with art, fashion and people and has a nefarious plan that is revealed in the first episode that plays out over the season.'
The upcoming fifth season of American Horror Story will debut on FX on October 7.
