Lady Gaga has recently ignited a flurry of engagement speculation among her fans after being seen with a striking diamond ring adorning her left ring finger. 

The sighting occurred as the Born This Way singer, currently in a relationship with entrepreneur Michael Polansky since 2019, was navigating the streets of West Hollywood, California as pictured in Page Six. 

For the occasion, Gaga, 38, opted for an elegant ensemble consisting of a long black coat, a simple black shirt, classic black pumps, and a statement Bottega Veneta tote bag valued at $4,400.

The gleam of the diamond ring was hard to miss, capturing attention as Gaga flashed a radiant smile, the ring making a conspicuous appearance from beneath her coat.
