Steven Meisel, New York

Description

This striking magazine cover portrait features Lady Gaga posed against a clean light background, styled with dramatic voluminous metallic gold ruffles framing a fitted black gown with a plunging neckline. Her signature teal-streaked dark hair is styled in a voluminous, textured coiffure, complemented by vibrant purple eyeshadow and bold red lipstick. A sparkling diamond necklace graces her neck, and delicate tattoos are visible on her upper left arm and shoulder. The lighting is bright and even, accentuating the high-contrast textures of the shiny crinkled metallic fabric against the matte black dress and smooth skin tones. Bold red and white masthead typography and cover lines frame the composition.
