Lady Gaga Looks Born to Pose For the Cover of Vogue

February 10, 2011

1 / 7

Lady Gaga went with pink hair and a gown for the cover of March's Vogue, shot by photographer Mario Testino, which is available on newsstands on Feb. 22. She's prepping for the release of her third album, Born This Way, and spoke with the magazine about her personal style, including the infamous meat dress, living overseas, and her manic touring schedule. Her first single from the record is scheduled to drop on Friday, and she's slated to perform during Sunday's Grammys. Lady Gaga's nominated in five categories, including album of the year and best pop collaboration for her project with Beyonce Knowles, "Telephone." Here's more:

On her ambition: "I was a strange, loud little kid who could sit at the piano and kill a Beethoven piece. Speaking purely from a musical standpoint, I think I am a great performer. I am a talented entertainer. I consider myself to have one of the greatest voices in the industry. I consider myself to be one of the greatest songwriters. I wouldn’t say that I am one of the greatest dancers, but I am really quite good at what I do. I think it’s OK to be confident in yourself."
On living in London: "I have a very broad taste in music, and the English don’t differentiate the rock star from the pop star. It’s all the same thing. . . The fashion community in general got me much earlier than everyone else, but actually, I felt truly embraced by this London cultural movement, that McQueen, Isabella, Daphne Guinness wing of the English crowd. I remember when I first started doing photo shoots, people would say, 'My God, you look so much like Isabella Blow, it scares me.' And McQueen used to say, 'Oh, my God, your boobs!' He actually grabbed both of them and said, 'Even your boobs are like hers!'"
On her wardrobe choice and the meat dress: "It’s not about a choice, it’s about a lifestyle that I live and breathe. . . There is this assumption that women in music and pop culture are supposed to act a certain way, and because I’m just sort of middle fingers up, a-blazing, doing what my artistic vision tells me to do, that is what is misunderstood. People are like, 'She dresses this way for attention.' Or like, 'Ugh, the meat dress.' People just want to figure it out or explain it. The truth is, the mystery and the magic is my art. That is what I am good at."

I take all of her words with a grain of c*ke (her drug of choice)...I actually don't mind her, she's got an unfortunate face and horribly saggy t*ts, cut her some slack

She is in denial. Her voice is average. Dancing sucks. Shes a master manipulator though. She has convinced all the idiots out there her music is more than trashy pop. If Christina Aguilera said she had a fantastic voice people would call her an arrogant bitch.

Don't think she'll be relevant for much longer. Most people are over her whole shtick and she's not pretty enough to show up looking normal.

Wow. Is this PerezHilton?

I don't like her music. I feel like I'm being brainwashed. Her videos are based on that Illuminati crap and that's crazy enough to avoid her altogether. I just think of her as a fool i dont care wha she looks like. nobodys talking about anything useful. just her. whats she doing for anybody besides making herself ans akon a rich man? yuck is right

I would think the worst was that she was on stage with no panties and her peni* was showing. wait, that was true.

I think she looks amazing! C'mon people she's not supposed to look conventionally beautiful, when has she ever done that? She's polarizing, you either love her or you don't. And this is exactly what she wants...to get people talking, and it always works! She looks like an alien princess! BRAVO

I like her music, but she's really getting on my nerves. I remember in an interview a while ago, she said the worst rumor about her was that she was from Yonkers. She was soooo offended. I am from Yonkers, and was so taken aback that she had such a response to that 'rumor,' especially considering all the talented people coming from Yonkers...Mary J Blige, Stephen Tyler, Ella Fitzgerald...geez Gaga! Chill!

It's like magic how a comment will just "pop" up Loooooong after it's posted. with no rules broken. I imagine it's like living in Iraq or something.

You can censor all you want. lol I can't stand this "It" girl. Lady G.A.G.

It's so nice and refreshing to hear one so modest and humble, isn't it?

Your censoring tactics are pitiful. She's a freakshow and only certain people appreciate her for her grand show of craziness. But you shouldn't censor opinions cause you owe someone the favor (or job) of making her look good.

I don't want to understand or explain it. I want "It" to go away. But then I like "bran flakes" music, not sugar-saturated with a toy compass that doesn't work, in the box.

lol, she needs to get over herself. If anyone else was saying this, people would be all over them.
