Lady Gaga getting naked is hardly shocking anymore, given that she seems to whip off her bra (and sometimes even her pants) at any given opportunity these days.
So as Gaga previewed her upcoming shoot for V magazine, what surprised us more was how unrecognisable she looked.
Innocently staring into the camera lens with her stripped back make-up and messily-styled natural hair, Gaga looked miles away from her outrageous persona.
Lady Gaga's V magazine cover Even her outfit of a sequined jacket and a pair of jeans was relatively understated, despite all the flesh-flashing and boob-grabbing going on.
While it is the first cover to be revealed of four that Gaga has done for the magazine, she has previously previewed some inside shots showing her totally naked and wearing a wild wig.
According to the magazine, Gaga considers each cover "an extension of herself, representing her at different stages of her life."
The singer has just unveiled new single 'Applause', which was rush-released following several internet leaks.
Read our review of the track here.
The V magazine September issue goes on sale in the US on Aug 28th and in the UK on September 5th. For more information, visit the V magazine website.
Royal Variety Performance, December 2009
Forget for a moment the general incongruity of Lady Gaga being in Blackpool and ponder what you'd wear if you were meeting the Queen.Now take a look at this picture and marvel at Gaga's front. That's what the talent show dancers behind her are doing, we're sure.We hope nobody told Her Maj that Gaga isn't a real aristocrat! (Pic: PA)
MTV Video Awards, September 2009
You know the maxim that "less is more"? Well in Gaga's case we think "more is more" might be a better term.Wacky hat, loads of feathers, pink hair, gold mask... but somehow it works. (Pic: PA)
Beats product launch, September 2009
Gaga channels Dame Edna at the launch of her "Heartbeats" headphones - marketed in conjunction with Dr Dre. (Pic: PA)
MAC product launch, March 2010
One of our favourite Gaga costumes here, the lace bodysuit and crinkly black hat ensemble.We love how it's a make-up launch and virtually all you can see of her face is her lips.It's the little details... (Pic: PA)
Tokyo, April 2010
Meow! Gaga strikes a feline pose as she is snapped by the paps at Tokyo's airport.Looks like she's been writing on her arm with her mascara there. (Pic: PA)
Tokyo concert, April 2010
Ever wondered what happened to all the lace doilies you used to see at your elderly relatives' houses?Well it looks like Gaga snapped them up to make this dainty outfit. (Pic: PA)
Platinum Awards, May 2010
Gaga turned-up in this ensemble to collect a gong at the Platinum Awards in Germany.We're not sure what her award was for - but we're guessing it might have been for the best Scottish Widows advert lookalike. (Pic: PA)
New York, July 2010
We know it gets very hot in New York City in the summer, but do you really have to strip to your bra and pour water over your head Gaga?You do? Oh well, carry on then. (Pic: PA)
New York, July 2010
We know it gets very hot in New York City in the summer, but do you really have to strip to your bra and pour water over your head Gaga?You do? Oh well, carry on then. (Pic: PA)
Madison Square Garden, July 2010
Here's Gaga at a gig at Madison Square Garden in July 2010.Careful turning round in that, you don't want to have a backing dancer's eye out! (Pic: PA)
Madison Square Garden, July 2010
Same gig, different outfit - and this one's quite subdued by Gaga's standards.Still not sure about wearing it on the Tube though. (Pic: PA)
Madison Square Garden, July 2010
Gaga does like to think of herself as a bit of a misfit, but we're not quite sure what look she's aiming for here.Quasimodo? Frankenstein's monster? Herman Munster? Answers on a postcard please... (Pic: PA)
Madison Square Garden, July 2010
Another costume change - and now she's dressed as a snowflake or something like that.Does that make her the ice queen of pop? (Pic: PA)
Lollapolooza, Aug 2010
You've got to hand it to Gaga for her purple accessorizing prowess - but there's one question we really, really want answered.Can she see out of them glasses or what? (Pic: PA)
New York Plaza, September 2010
Gaga obviously made the effort to dress up smart when she had a gig at New York's posh Plaza hotel.We suppose "bling cavewoman" is her idea of smart anyway. (Pic: PA)
MTV Video Music Awards, September 2010
We bet the organisers and punters at the MTV VMAs were a bit disappointed when Gaga showed up in what was a pretty dull costume, by her usual standards... (Pic: PA)
VMAs again, September 2010
...but we imagine they were delighted when she went on stage in her infamous "meat dress".Love it or hate it, you must admit it's a cut above that last outfit! (Pic: PA)
Dublin, October 2010
We're not sure what she was trying to say with this bra and panties and stars-and-stripes bandana in Dublin, but we're sure it was very profound.We must admit we're disappointed to see she's got one of those boring eastern writing tattoos like David Beckham though. We thought she was more original than that. (Pic: PA)
German TV, November 2010
It's not always about the clothes with Gaga, as she proved when she wowed German telly viewers with this WIDE hairdo in November 2010.One of our faves! (Pic: PA)
Madison Square Garden, February 2011
Just like her idol Madonna, Gaga can't resist the occasional pop at religion - and the Catholic church in particular.This naughty nun outfit was one of the more memorable outfits in her Monster Ball stage show. (Pic: PA)
Grammys, Feb 2011
Even when she's just sitting in the audience Gaga still likes to make sure she's the centre of attention.We just feel sorry for the poor punters sat behind her who've had their nights ruined by her stupid hat. (Pic: PA)
Grammys, February 2011
And of course she'd changed by the time she arrived on stage at the same event in a giant Perspex egg.We'd hate to see her dry cleaning bill! (Pic: PA)
Jay Leno, February 2011
Quite why Gaga decided to get pointy "face implants" to go on Jay Leno's chat show, we don't know. But then she doesn't need to justify herself to us.We were just glad to be able to say that she had a p-p-p--p-p-pointy face! (Pic: PA)
