Santa's little helpers! Lady Gaga and fiancé Taylor Kinney dress their pups in festive outfits as they exit Billboard event in NYC

It was a big day for Lady Gaga as she was awarded the Billboard award for Woman of the Year. 

So it's no surprise the singer was surrounded by her nearest and dearest on Friday when she left the Billboard Women In Music luncheon in New York.

Not only was Gaga's fiancé Taylor Kinney there for support, but her two French Bulldogs Asia and Koji came along dressed in festive attire.

The couple took a pup each as they made their way out of Cipriani 42nd St. 

The songstress held Koji as she showed off a billowing blush gown and black suede platform heels.

Gaga had even had time to change her wig and was seen in a sleek long style with soft waves compared to her earlier look which included a choppy fringe.

Making it a complete family affair, Gaga's parents Cynthia and Joe were there to support the star as well as her grandmother Angelina.

As she arrived at the event in the morning, Gaga braved the chill in nothing but a white satin bralet with long skirt.

Her husband-to-be sported a black tux with matching shirt and bow-tie, looking handsome with a dusting of stubble.

On Thursday Gaga gave a candid interview about how her life changed after being sexually assaulted as a teenager. 

The chart-topping singer was raped at the age of 19 and admitted the incident had a profound impact on how she's lived her life ever since.

While promoting The Hunting Ground, a documentary on campus rape, she told TalkTimes on Thursday: 'The only person in this scenario that can heal you is yourself, and that is the complicated process.' 

Gaga, now 29, said she kept the harrowing incident to herself for years, admitting she didn't know how to cope with the emotional turmoil.

'I didn't tell anyone for I think seven years,' she explained. 

'I didn't know how to even think about it, I didn't know how to accept it, I didn't know how to not blame myself or think it was my fault. It was something that really changed my life. It changed who I was completely. It changed my body, it changed thoughts.'

Gaga also admitted there were times she blamed herself for the attack.

She shared: 'After it happened, I'm like, 'But what did I do in my life to bring this upon myself?' There was some sort of maybe religious guilt attached to it that I had somehow inspired the violence.

'Because of the way that I dress, and the way that I'm provocative as a person, I thought that I had brought it on myself in some way - that it was my fault.'

Gaga joined a host of female performers at Cipriani on 42nd Street for the Billboard event, including Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez and Ciara.

She performed a tribute song to other victims of sexual assault, Til It Happens to You, at the luncheon.

She was named Billboard's Woman of the Year and received the honour after an introduction by her mother, Cynthia Germanotta.

Accepting the award, she told the crowd: 'It's really hard sometimes for women in music. It's like a f*cking boys club that we just can't get into.'

'Women provide a wisdom to music that is very unique and special,' she continued. 

'It is a perspective no one else can have because we bear life. And because we go through things no one else goes through. And because it's right. Because we're all equal.'

She ended her speech with a message to those who doubted her, saying: 'I couldn't wait to prove you wrong.'
