Lady Gaga gave a closer glimpse of her eye-catching engagement ring from fiancé Michael Polansky, during the Apple TV+ special: A Very Carpool Karaoke Christmas.
The Poker Face songstress, 38 - who revealed her engagement to the tech entrepreneur earlier this year at the Paris Olympics - could be seen wearing the 8-carat diamond piece as she joined Apple Music's Zane Lowe in the segment.
The host took over James Corden's spot in the holiday special - which officially began airing on the streaming site on December 15.
While Lowe drove around the streets of Los Angeles, the Joker: Folie à Deux actress sat in the passenger seat to sing some of her hits as well as Christmas classics.
At one point, she threw her hands to her face and flashed the oval-shaped, diamond sparkler - which is estimated to be worth between $500K and $2 million, per Page Six.
The Grammy winner donned a long-sleeved, black dress with dramatic, puffy sleeves and her long, black locks flowed down straight past her shoulders.

That is a very large diamond
Gaga - whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta - first sparked rumors that she was engaged to Polansky earlier this year in April.
At the time, the star was seen strolling through L.A. while wearing the massive ring on her left hand - but the pair had yet to confirm the speculation.
However, it wasn't until the 2024 Paris Olympics in July that the singer revealed that Michael had popped the big question.
In a TikTok clip that went viral, the actress could be seen introducing Polansky as 'my fiancé' while talking to the French Prime Minister, Gabriel Attal.
And back in September, Gaga explained on The Graham Norton Show that she had initially wanted to keep the engagement a secret.
'He proposed on April 1st, and I thought he was joking,' the Just Dance performer said of Michael.
'Then when we went to the Olympics, we were filmed saying hello to the Prime Minister and I was caught on camera saying "This is my fiancé." I had wanted to keep it a secret!'
That same month, the star gushed about wanting to start a family as she discussed her 15-year goals during an interview with BuzzFeed Canada.

'I'm so happy to be in love, and I'm so excited to have a family,' Gaga expressed. 'So that's definitely number one.'
'I just want to keep growing too, and it's kind of fun to embrace the challenge of being a 38-year-old pop star and figuring out who I want to be now and what I want to say.'
The songstress added, 'I really love women and I want to be a voice that deserves to be part of that community.'
And three months earlier while at the Los Angeles premiere of Joker: Folie à Deux, Gaga sweetly told People, 'I just love my fiancé so much.'
'He's my best friend. He's my partner, and I just feel like when you are with your best friend, everything changes.'
She also shared how Polansky worked on her album, Harlequin, as an executive co-producer.
The House Of Gucci actress expressed how the pair were 'excited' for the collaboration and added, 'It's just the first time that we decided to fully go into it and do it. It just felt right. We were all warmed up and ready to go.'
Back in October, Gaga appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to share how Polansky popped the big question - but revealed that he did not get down on one knee.
'He proposed on April 1st, and I thought he was joking,' the Just Dance performer said of Michael; seen in September in Venice
'We went on a trip together and we went rock climbing. We'd been rock climbing before, which was super fun. He didn't propose to me at the top. We climbed up to the top, and we looked around, and we took some photos.'
'We went back down and we were just walking back to the room. It was very Michael to ask me if he could ask me.'
The star added, 'He wanted to know if it was okay to propose before he proposed. I was like, "Yes! It's so okay!"'
When Kimmel questioned with the businessman got down on one knee, she replied with, 'He didn't. I'm a modern lady. I like what he did.'
In regards to wedding plans, the singer expressed, 'I don't know what we're going to do. We're not exactly sure yet.'
'We actually talk a lot about just going to a courthouse just the two of us and [then] ordering Chinese food. But also, knowing me, it could become like a circus with unicorns.'
In December 2019, the songstress was first linked to Polansky when the two were seen celebrating New Year's in Las Vegas.
'I'm so happy to be in love, and I'm so excited to have a family,' Gaga expressed. 'So that's definitely number one'

And in early 2020, the pair confirmed their budding romance by sharing a kiss in Miami and the Grammy winner went Instagram official with Michael soon after.
The star uploaded a snap at the time as she snuggled close to her boyfriend while sitting on his lap.
In the caption, she had written, 'We had so much fun in Miami. Love to all my little monsters and fans. you're the best!' followed by a red heart emoji.
Last year in March, rumors arose that Lady Gaga and Polansky had gone their separate ways, with a source telling Radar Online at the time, 'They broke up a few months ago. It was amicable. They're still friends.'
But later that same year, the pair proved their romance was going strong when they were spotted in Las Vegas together and also stopped by a SNL after party.
Earlier this year in February, the lovebirds attended the Super Bowl in Las Vegas and sat next to each other in a VIP suite at Allegiant Stadium.
A few months ago, Polansky was also spotted supporting Gaga as she prepared for the release of the sequel to Joker (2019).
He was seen by her side at a few screenings of the film, such as at the 81st Venice International Film Festival in September. As they walked the red carpet, she also flashed the massive engagement ring.

Apple TV+'s Carpool Karaoke Christmas special already dropped on the streaming site this past weekend on December 15 - and will be available worldwide starting on December 20.
Lady Gaga is just one of the celebrity guests in the episode alongside Dua Lipa and Chappell Roan.
Zane Lowe visited Los Angeles, Tokyo and Springfield, Missouri as he had the chance to belt out songs with the stars.
James Corden originally hosted the lighthearted segment which officially launched in 2015 and came to an end in 2023.
However, the British-born star made a cameo in the holiday special to hand over the keys to Lowe.
Corden stated, 'I've entrusted Apple Music's very own, the brilliant Zane Lowe, to drive our superstars to work and reminded him it's so important to keep his eyes open while he sings. We can't wait for everyone to see.'
The new host of the segment also added, 'This was hands-down the most fun I have ever had in a car.'
'I'm very grateful to James for trusting me behind the wheel of a very expensive car with three of music's most exciting artists, and I'm honored to be part of bringing this special A Carpool Karaoke Christmas to fans all over the world.'
