Lady Gaga covers US Vogue's March Issue

It wasn't a secret that Lady Gaga was going to cover US Vogue's March 2011 issue, especially as the cover leaked a few weeks ago. But it has finally been officially released and I love it. I'm not a hardcore Gaga fan, as you all know, but this cover definitely brings something new to US Vogue. I love the pale aqua backdrop against the pink wig, adore the fact she's wearing Haider Ackermann on the cover, and think it's nice that a less mainstream idea of beauty is being represented on the cover. Because talent doesn't always come in the form of Blake Lively.

The cover and editorial were shot by Mario Testino, and you can see the full edit over at Vogue online. I really do think this is a breath of fresh air for Vogue; it feels very light and fun. The February issue was a great read and I now have very high hopes for the March issue. If you haven't read US Vogue for a while now is the time to pick up a copy. The team are on top form this year, as the March cover shows.

 And Lady Gaga's interview is sure to be interesting as well. It's up already on the Vogue website, but I always like to save the reading until I have the magazine in my hands. How terribly old fashioned!

What do you make of Lady Gaga's first Vogue cover?
