Vanity Fair, January 2012: "Lady Gaga"

Lady Gaga is wearing a big unique red dress with a huge red hat & to even go with the rest of the outfit she wears a touch of red lipstick. The lighting in the picture fits perfectly for what she is wearing, her make up looks flawless and her red dress & hat make the viewers grab their attention. The background fits perfectly with what she is wearing & the light hits her perfectly. I really love this magazine cover it grabs my attention & makes me want to read about it.
