For Vogue, Lady Gaga is twice as nice.
According to WWD, Mother Monster is set to land her second Vogue cover, this time for the all-important September issue. Our sources confirm that it does indeed look like Gaga is good for the cover, and that this will be a wide shot, the better to show off that toned bod, and purple (a big color for fall) features prominently. Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott reportedly photographed the cover and accompanying editorial.
Despite Gagas tendency towards wardrobe malfunctions and platform-induced tumbles, the pop star is actually a pretty safe choice for Vogue. Gagas March 2011 cover was the second best-selling issue of Vogue last year, so the fashion bible is undoubtedly hoping for a repeat performance. Last years September issue featured another old heavy-hitting Vogue fave, Kate Moss.
The cover makes sense for camp Gaga, too. Shes set to release her first fragranceyou know, the one that will have undertones of blood and sementhis fall. And even if Gaga hasnt been making headlines lately she still has over 25 million followers on Twittersurely some of them will pick up her issue on newsstands.
