Lady Gaga Topless & Nude PHOTO For 'ART POP' & 'Applause' Promotion; Bares Her Breasts & Bum For V Magazine
The first two of Lady Gaga's four magazine covers for V magazine were released on Wednesday.
The 23 year-old singer was the first to share one of the covers, which features her topless under a pink sequins jacket. In the image, Gaga partially bears her breasts and is a brunette with short soaking wet hair. The Applause singer also dared to reveal her nether regions when she suggestively pulled down her unbuttoned skintight jeans at the waist.
She later retweeted the second cover that was initially posted on her fan site, GagaMediaDotNet.com, on Aug. 14. The cropped shot is more stylized and features Gaga as a blonde. She is sporting a sideswept platinum bleach cropped hairstyle with rainbow-hued latex jacket.
GagaMediaDotNet also shared on Twitter two images of Gaga completely nude, which will be published inside of the fall issue.
All of the images were taken by fashion photographers Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.
One of the photographers from the shoot released a nude photo of Gaga on Instagram last month and captioned the pic, "Get ready world for our pics."
V magazine's official website published an excerpt of Gaga's interview where Gaga discusses creativity and how she comes up with unique imagery.
"You have to stare at the image, you have to stare at the work," Gaga tells V. "You have to have an intense connection with it all the way to its core, and then push, push, push yourself and then say Okay, and you have that instant adrenaline feeling of Let's go."
E! Online will publish all four magazine covers at 4 p.m. EST on Aug. 14. The images can also be previewed on the network's evening news program. E! News on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. EST.
Gaga released her first single, Applause, from the upcoming album Artpop on Monday.The drop was a week ahead of schedule, and she explained why on Twitter.
"Due to hackers an abundance of low/high quality leaks...we issue this pop music emergency...monsters spread the word," Gaga said on the social media site.
She will perform the first single Applause at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awarsd on Sunday, Aug. 25. Artpop will hit stores on Nov. 11, and the September issue of V magazine will hit newsstands Aug. 29.
