The Lady Gaga x Terry Richardson photo shoot took place in front of a Chanel store in Finland.
The photo shoot took place order to entice Finnish fans -- or little monsters -- for the star's upcoming Born This Way Ball tour concert. The dramatic greeting was ensued in a very guerrilla manner in which Mother Monster herself spontaneously posed outside a Chanel store. It just so happened that superstar photographer Terry Richardson was there to capture the eccentrically attired superstar.
Lady Gaga sported an all-black outfit, doing justice to her signature avant-garde style. The look was completed by avian-like feathered headwear that made her resemble and elegant raven. The contrasting monochromatic finish completed the overall effect. This antic made for a very Gagaesque show of theatrics that her fans have come to love her for.
