Racy Tan Editorials

Lady Gaga is an Orange Poodle in V Magazine

In addition to the innovative cover, the new issue of V Magazine features Lady Gaga in an editorial by Mario Testino looking like an Oompa-Loompa with an orange tan the shade of Valentino.

The excessive tan is coupled with peculiar and racy styling by Nicola Formichetti, with Lady Gaga wearing fur that made her look like a poodle. A very tan, shaved poodle…

Somehow, everything works well together, the tan, the weird style and vividly bright colors of Testino.
