The cover photo for the Lana Del Rey GQ UK 2012 Woman of The Year issue was recently released, and today the full photo editorial is out. Needless to say, these photos are a tad racy, but they have definitely caught viewers' attention.
Shot by GQ photographer Mariano Vivanco, Lana Del Rey can be seen in this October issue getting pretty friendly with a window curtain, standing atop a lavished golden balcony, getting groped by a man in a suit and at times, completely nude.
This sexy and intimate editorial is the first risque shoot the singer has done. It may be an attempt to get more attention, but it is understandable why she was chosen to be this year’s Woman of the Year. Lana Del Rey single handedly became an iconic name in just under a year with only one major album.
