Famed for her outlandish outfits and antics, Lady GaGa opts for a tamer look in the October issue of Harper’s Bazaar.
Pop’s reigning tour de force was snapped by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin for the black and white shoot, which serves as the latest high-profile promo spot in support of her ‘Born This Way’ LP. Released in May, the album has sold 1.4 million copies to date.

YASSSS
Sadly I haven’t heard from Gaga in a few days (besides these)…..
(when I refer to these,I mean this and the 9/11 thing)
I was waiting for someone to tell her: “No you can’t wear a f****** mask! You can’t dip your face in pearls and powder! You can’t wear a 500lb hat! You’re going to take a f****** picture and leave all the extra s*** at home!”
She looks good. Nice pictorials. When someones always always doing a lot a very simple approach can be mind-blowing.
I hope it’s a good interview. Especially considering the ‘bares all’ advertisement. Unfortunately in a lot of her interviews it’s a bit of a shield, defensiveness, arrogance and bs. No real meat and potatoes from her in quite a while.
She looks good…I like it !!!
Raw, Emotional, Seductive like it very good photos !
Just UGLY…. she needs to put something on to cover all that mess of a face
OK, I don’t mean to throw shade, because I have nothing against her, but she has been promoting and trying to create buzz for a year (including all the interviews about her recording and all the snippets of remixes etc etc), she had the most expensive videos any artist right now has, she had the heaviest promotion any act can ask for and she hasn’t surpassed 1,5 million yet??Her label shipped 2,1 million THE FIRST WEEK and they still haven’t been sold…?No shade, but I’m shocked!
WTF is this pic :

gaga ….. stop getting on my nerves ! i once loved u ! but plz !! that’s not good ! you are losing fans every f*****’ day ! WAKE UP GAGA ! don’t u see what you are doing ?!! how tired you look now ?! and you are still trying too much to be different/unique , ok ! we knew that since the meat dress , can we move on from that point ?!!!!
gaga … you are losing your fans !
@ASAP :
A f*****’ co-sign ! that’s what i’m talking about ! she’s losing her fans ! literally ! i’m worried about her ! i a a big fan myself since her red & blue album ! but damn ! she’s about to lose me
But.. still in love with JUDAS baby. :X
SHE LOOKS OUTSTANDINGLY BEAUTIFUL HERE!
I LOVED IT SHE SAID THAT PEOPLE MAY SAY SHE LOOK NATURAL, BUT THIS WAS “STAGED TO LOOK NATURAL”.
CAN’T WAIT FOR THE 4 REMAINING YOU AND I FASHION FILMS!
@POP I don’t think she’s losing her hardcore fans tbh, but she isn’t attracting any casual fans and not gaining any new ones (which is not good).I think that this era has been very rushed and try-hard.She should have taken an extended break to live life and get new ideas, because now she seems desperate and tired.She was touring after the lead single’s release, so…Also, I feel like she got a bit ahead of herself.She thought that she would take her career to the next level by adding more gimmicks and make her image even wackier, but that was a bad move.The egg at the Grammy’s and Joe were just not a good idea.Now that some new popstars are trying to be wacky too (Katy with a piece of cheese on her head???) she thought she should try to block them, but it backfired.
I was a fan GaGa by Poker Face era.
I love The Fame Monster and The Fame, two epic albums. But..Born This Way is horrible.
Judas is the best song of the album. The rest is trash… I`m sorry but it`s true.
Poker Face and Love Game – natural, simply but the best. J`adore GAGA !
Born This Way and Edge Of Glory – f***. Why did you do gaga?
Who Cares?
The H** is still a FLOP just like BLEACHonce.
F*** ALL OF YALL BORN THIS WAY IS A GOOD F****** ALBUM !!
im sorry but these are some really unflattering pics of her
@asap :
i’m totally agree ! esp about the jo and the egg ideas ! those were a big no no ! i miss the 2008’s cool gaga ! that’s it !
she became too predictable too !
i will give her another chance cuz i like her message so far ! but i wish she tone her gimmicks down and take a rest ! her and rihanna need a f***** long vacation for themselves ! we are humans , not robots !!!
@skin :
the same her girl .. just the same ! but i like BTW the album though ! i just dislike the era !
@POP I’m not crazy about the album either tbh.I like ‘Judas’ and maybe I can tolerate with GH, EOG and ‘Hair’ too, but that’s about it.I think that GaGa herself feels insecure about taking a break, though.She could have totally cemented her position if this album and era were both on point, but it didn’t go as planned and now as soon as the next “it” girl arrives, GaGa is probably afraid that her fall from grace will be as fast as her rise to fame…
@POP ROYALTY
Yes, this era is not for me and you. :)) hehe
check out my new song guys! >>>>>>>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYeOt8fF12M
@ASAP :
yes ! i thought that too ! she’s insecure to take a break while katy and rihanna are there ! esp katy ! cuz i see that all of a sudden , katy became so creative with her “TD” era ! E.t MV Vs Btw music video anyone ?!
the album is powerful , i’m not gonna lie ! but she just need to focus on what she want to do with it ! like what u want to tell gaga ?!
the IT girl is adele ! and she arrived already ! we wanted a talented female artist who knows the meaning of being a singer and we are having adele , we wanted a creative artist and katy started doing just that and she is making songs about loving who you are and keep it consistent if u know what i mean! if BTW is the album of the decade for gaga , then gaga will fall i’m sorry ! cuz that’s not 2011’s best album ! let alone album of the decade !
i am worried about her !
Ughh Lee…
No wonder why she always feels the need to hide her face behind all that fake clown stuff all the time… And her so called “music” is just the same…
Gaga, please COVER UP!!!
@POP ROYALTY I don’t know if she’s threatened by anyone in particular, but I think she expected BTW to be a triumph and it just wasn’t, so she must be very worried too.The album could definetely be the soundtrack of my musical nightmares.It’s just SOOO overdone.The beats are too techno for these melodies and I think she really went all out with the lyrics and sometimes it’s just too over the top.For example, I don’t get why she had to have the German into on Scheisse.It could be a good europop track, but she wanted to make it something MORE, but it just doesn’t work.And the Kennedy lyric on GH…she just over-complicates it a lot.I think the album has too much filler as well and I think that if she had rested it could have been better.Sometimes less is more.Femme Fatale for example was a gem, but it wasn’t contrived at all.It flew very well and it was pleasant to the ears without any overexaggeration.(no comparison, just an example)
When it comes to Adele I think that she’s the anti-“it” girl tbh.She doesn’t give a s*** about everything that the “it” girl is supposed to be.Gotta love her!Even the cover reflects it!She doesn’t try to pull off an image, she is just Adele.
@ ASAP Government Hooker is my song !!!
I love all of the songs on Born this Way
Heavy Metal Lover- LOVE IT !
Government Hooker- LOVE IT !
Schiebe- LOVE IT !
You and I- I didnt like it at first but LOVE IT NOW !
Black Jesus+ Amen Fashion- LOVE IT !
Judas- Like it…not a big fan though !
Born this Way (single)- not a big fan !
Hair- LOVE IT !
Electric Chapel- Growing on me !
Bad Kids- LOVE IT !!!
The Queen- Growing on me !
Fashion Of His Love- HATE IT !
Americano- LIKE IT NOT LOVE IT !
etc.,
Gaga, please COVER UP!!!
And UNDER A STONE, that is… Ha ha ha…
Highway Unicorn – MY JAM !
I don’t know what look she was going for but….this aint it. So ugly.
@asap :
yes !
femme fatale as a pop album is a good one at that i love it , i can replay it as a whole without getting tired of it i can’t do the sae with bTW ! gaga just over-do her stuffs and sometimes it shows as ” try hard” , that fall in VMA is like what happened to her career because of her “trying so hard to prove something she don’t know ” !!! and the camera went to adele’s face ! that moment was epic to me tbh !
i also can safely agree about what u said she did in her songs in BTW album ! she want everything she do to coming as ” original & unique” but no , that’s not what i felt it was !
gaga is trying so hard to impress this era and that just doesn’t work for her anymore ! PERIOD !
adele is just a rebel to me ! she’s smashing the stereotypes industry had in ages , did u see on the cover of vogue ?!!!!! ! that’s why i loove her ! and she also make songs for ears , not for eyes ! adele’s success is a statement , it’s like ppl saying : we want original talent back ! a 100% gimmicks-free kind of talent ! that’s why adele is keep going up ! and the fame didn’t change her in her 2 album 😉 !
@ Pop Royalty Well I love Born this Way
My fav songs off of BTW are: Edge of glory, judas, scheibe, and you and I
Heavy Metal Lover- no
Government Hooker- yes
Schiebe- yes
You and I- no
Black Jesus+ Amen Fashion- nooooooooooooooooooooooo
Judas- yesssssssssss
Born this Way (single)- hell to the no !
Hair- ok song
Electric Chapel- like
Bad Kids- naaaah
The Queen- b**** plz
Fashion Of His Love- like
Americano- demonic
and i like EOG too 🙂
Btw, I think GaGa should stop with her obsession over religion and religious art.I know that it’s who she is, but it sort of ruins her “fun and fresh” profile that every popstar needs to have.I hate ‘Bloody Mary’ for example.This subject is not something I want to hear on a pop song and I can’t relate to it of course!I think she is really self-absorbed and not thinking clearly.’Judas’ was a good metaphor, but it wasn’t executed properly.E.T. was also a metaphor but it had some key phrases like “kiss me”, “take me” etc that everyone can sing along to.I cannot say the same for ‘Judas’.Even her fans are complaining that she’s got too dark and “serious”.Pop will always be versatile.There is plenty of space to be experimental and dark (ROL was a smash) but the fun and bubbly side should NEVER be abandoned (Confessions was also a smash).That’s what GaGa does wrong imo.
Bloody mary is the best !!!
DA F***!? LOL, Ewwwwwwww.
@POPROYALTY, and @ASAP, you both read my mind!!!!!!!!!! i think that if she had stripped alot of the beats of of the tracks on BTW that alot of the songs would be so much better. they seemed over worked, which is what i felt when the song born this way came out also. there is just too much going on in the beat. Then lady gaga expected the album to top the FAME, and go on to beat all other albums and it didn’t. Gaga is real creative i just wish that she would hold alot of it in and release it slowly so that not everything was done at once, and now we are left with saying that there is nothing left for gaga to do. i find that the visuals also speak louder than the music itself, sometimes it feels like she is more worried about what she is going to look like in the video and not what the song actually sounds like. just my opinion.
OH but i will disagree that she has fallen , even though this album is no where near THE FAME, or THE FAME: MONSTER, it still is doing well. and i can actually see lady gaga turning back into how she was in the fame era, she was just the right mix of crazy iconic images, and yet not over doing. as long as lady gaga pulls alot of that s*** back i think she could go further, but until then she will lag like born this way. OH and i hope the beats are simpler like the fame era
@POPROYALTY, i thought i was the only one wonder what the hell Americano was doing on that album
@ Commander of the dance floor- Americano is on the album because she wrote it for the immigration laws in arizona that happened last year !
@asap :
yes ! i really feeling your points ! she wanted to go and doing the religious stuffs maodnna did with LAP but she fell flat at that to be honest ! i still don’t know why she did that ! when madonna did it it was for a certain clear message ! i didn’t know WTF gaga meant by bloody mary !
and BTW has no fun in it ! period ! madonna will never do something like that ! even in he rmost serious albums ! she inject some fun someway ! gaga didn’t with BTW !
and i won’t even comment how dark and creepy her image became ! BTW album cover will prove my point !
and u can make a serious POP without being offensive ” ROL by M ” ! and even ROL had fun too ” nothing really matters sound amazing and timeless for example ” !
gaga need a break and a vision to stick to it ! and she need to give me the funny diva that she was in 2008 prior to paparazzi maybe ! bad romance was the last creepy thing i wanted to see from her ! and she didn’t even top that ! so she need a new direction and new vision ! that’s it
Heavy Metal Lover- Yes
Government Hooker- Yes but Better than HML
Schieße- yes
You and I- Pretty Good (IDK why she released all those different state versions)

Hair- THIS IS EXACTLY WHERE THE COMPLAINTS ARISE FROM.Gaga did a little TOO MUCH with the beat here that it really overshadowed her voice.
Electric Chapel- like
Bad Kids- Meh
The Queen- Decent,NOT the BEST Gaga track…..The slower part is better than the faster part IMO
Fashion Of His Love- HELL NO! Never got into that song,Never will (Sorry)
Americano- Meh
Bloody Mary was good but people aren’t really into the monk voices(IDK why Gaga stans were trending it yesterday.)
Highway Unicorn-I’d take it Take It or Leave it…..

@ Pop Royalty I love Madonna like you do…but wasnt Like A Prayer and True Blue a serious album ?
@COMMANDER :
i saw gaga starting to leave creativity city since telephone ! that MV was full of random s*** ! it was like there was so much going on ! and it was nothing related to the song ! the same goes to born this way MV ! those were major ” try hard to impress ” ! and to be honest , beyonce carried that MV in my opinion ! even gaga knows that ! and btw vid is so creepy and disgusting ! that’s not art , that’s a parody of star wars !!!
so the bottom line is : gaga really need to stop the madness and tone it really down !
and i hate americano ! i don’t care why she wrote this s*** ! i hate this song ! it’s like satan was talking , not her ! that’s not even a decent song ! a -1/10 song !
the fact that she was taking drugs to get creative to write her s*** pisses me off !!
“the road to love” is how songs should have sounded in btw ! but the beat is just so loud ! so much is going on beside her voice ! 8.5/10
I LIKE THIS VERSION OF BTW ” THE SINGLE” BETTER !!!
the album version is so f***** horrible ! i liked when she sang it at vma’s ! but i was shocked when i heard the album version !
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpJUCgigWHI
Telephone was kind of cheesy in a way !
Born this Way is a good video but the first part didnt make sense to me at all !!!
You and I is a good video !
Judas is a good video !
Paparazzi is okay !
i can tolerate gaga music , but btw era wasn’t really that cool !
songs : 7/10
vids : 2/4
the whole era 6/10
creativity : 4.5/10
trying hard to impress : 10/10
she wasn’t in the form this era ! just look at the fame era and u will feel what i’m feeling now 🙁 ! i don’t wanna see her fall cuz i loved her and her message ! but she’s lost 🙁 !
@ Pop Royalty Well hopefully she will go back to the fame sound for her next album !
But I love Born this Way but I have a feeling that she is going back to her fame-ish sound for the next album !
@jamir21 :
i will just pray for that to happen ! cuz i really loved her and i don’t wanna do that to her ! i am rooting for her and beyonce ! you already know that !
hope she remember what made her gaga !!!! it’s poker face ! a funny , cool song with a lot of meaning with an epic vid ! the same goes to bad romance ! KEEP IT LIKE THAT GAGA !
@ Pop Royalty
Yeah
*blasts Live 2 Tell by Madonna*
I think that her 4th album (counting the EP as the 2nd) will be truly career-defining.Very few can see it clearly now, but the whole BTW has damaged her.She got a backlash for EVERYTHING she did in this era…The next album is the moment that she will either prove herself or just show that she was overrated in the beginning and let the fame go to her head.If it’s a great album with all the elements of pop music and if the visuals are on point, then the BTW fiasco can be put aside, but if it’s as try-hard as BTW (I think it will be even more try-hard tbh) then…it won’t be very good for her…
I LOVE U GAGA, BUT NOT THESE PICTURES. MAYBE ITS BECAUSE I’M SO USE TO SEEING HER ALL MADE UP AND FLAMBOYANT, THAT NOW WHEN SHE’S PLAIN AND REGULAR IT JUST SEEMS BLAND AND WEIRD…
@ jamir why do you need to two screen names? Are you a boy or a girl? Is pop culture and jamir two different ppl? I’m confused. And how could you not get the first part of born this way? She was giving birth. “Born” this way. That was the only part I got tho. The rest was complex and weird.
@ I`m Have To Send Her to Her Maker I`m a boy, No jamir is my screen name and pop culture is the culture of hollywood and the media like flims, music, television !
Damn this chick has been beat DOWN with the ugly stick!!! And why are her lips so damned ashy? They didn’t have any chapstick on deck? I HATE gimmicks but she truly needs to keep the funny hats, tons of makeup, weird outfits etc on at ALL TIMES just to distract from that tragedy of a face!
And a bath in some Clorox wouldn’t hurt her dusty lookin ass either!
I like her looking natural. These pics are good.
@jamir I know what pop culture is. LOL. I meant to ask if pop royalty (rude boy) and jamir were the same ppl… sry bout that.
I’m tired of people using the word “gimmick”. If she is, so what? She’s an artist and entertainer. It’s apart of the entertainment world. You can’t be an entertainer without some sort of gimmicky act. I rly don’t think gaga is a gimmick. That’s an overstatement. She just likes to express herself in different ways. But I agree. This photoshoot looks a hot mess. Ew.
@ I`m Have To Send Her to her maker oh no were different people he (pop royalty) lives in egypt and popculture king aka Jamir21 lives in new jersey !
@ Pop Royalty
Gaga has The Monsters
Beyonce has The Beehive
Rihanna has the Navy
Nicki has the Barbs
what should britney`s fanbase group name should be ?
Lady GaGa is a talent!
OMG ,My best friend ,she just has announced her wedding with a millionaire young man Ronald who is the CEO of a MNC !they met via
—— ‘Afflu~ent Single.C óM——- ..it is the largest and best club for wealthy people and their admirers to chat online. …you don’t have to be rich there ,but you can meet one , It’s worthy a try. You do not have to be rich or famous. !
Mmmmkay…
I’m not gonna she’s ugly I’m just gonna say this:
NO WAY IN H%LL she would have made it without her gimmicks and her crazy style.
I’m done.
Hows care about gaga sick
@jamir21 ”
they are called ” britney’s -robots ” !!!!!
I love lady gaga and to me she looks beautiful with or without make-up even if on the front page she has make-up on but who cares! She is not copying Madonna for dressing as a man.. its for her music vidoe you & i , sounds to me like most of you people are just jealous.. and have every right to be seeing as shes more talented than probably any one you’ll meet in your life. 🙂
Those picture are not cute.
Heya i’m for the first time here. I found this board and I find It really useful & it helped me out a lot. I hope to give something back and help others like you helped me.
