The Lady Gaga ELLE UK covers add to her collection of eccentric shoots. She started the year with a big bang, and it appears she means to leave with one as well. Although these covers are classic Gaga, they are still more subtle than her Vanity Fair cover and spread, not to mention the Guinness World Record Visionaire 61 issue.
Shot by photographer Matt Irwin, these two Lady Gaga ELLE UK covers will be featured on the magazine's January 2012 issue. On both, Lady Gaga sports a cropped platinum coif, natural makeup and a masquerade-like outfit. Although this eccentric shoot is nothing new for Lady Gaga, she still manages to wow audiences with her constantly updated style.
