It should be known that LADY GAGA never does anything halfway, so you should also not be surprised by her hair-raising September cover of the ultimate fashion magazine, our beloved VOGUE.
Lens by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, the pop star poses on the cover of the 916-page issue, which also marks its 120th anniversary, wearing a gorgeous metallic purple off-the-shoulder mermaid gown by Marc Jacobs.
The soaring ribbon adorned cover is a great departure from past issues, but does it "fly" with you? If not, let's pay attention to the inside where Gaga is styled in a furry ensemble of Fall/Winter 2012 fashion.
Well...kind of... she's also totally-err-mostly naked in a photo or two.
Again, this should not be a surprise.
