Leave it to Lady Gaga to make an arrival at the 2011 Grammy Awards, creating a stir on the red carpet before anyone even saw her face: The pop star arrived Sunday afternoon in a massive egg toted on the shoulders of nubile men and women clad in gold.

Security motioned everyone to clear the area. Publicists and artists mounted the media sidelines as Gaga’s minions passed. Screams erupted after it became known who was inside.

(The little black dot on the back of the translucent egg appeared to be some sort of camera lens.)

First the meat dress, now an egg sarcophagus? Lady Gaga may be many things, but clearly she’s no vegan.

Updated, 3:49 p.m.: ‘Lady Gaga is in creative embryonic stage and won’t be born until her performance this evening,’ supermodel nurse Anne V told E! News, chatting about what Gaga was up to in her egg-shaped ‘womb.’
