Famed photographer Terry Richardson shot this cover spread for Purple Mag entitled Lady Gaga x Supreme. It’s not the first time Richardson has worked with Gaga -- he was her former art director. The photo features the pop star in a [sultry pose](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela) with [smudged makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cosmetics-and-ella-gross) biting down on a [Supreme bag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golf-wang-x-supreme).
