Annie Leibowitz’s latest Vogue shoot is based on the Metropolitan Opera’s upcoming performance of Hansel and Gretel, and Lady Gaga was cast to join the models. Though she is not in all the photos, she is certainly the centerpiece, portraying the witch in the classic story alongside Lily Cole’s memorable face and red locks. The full spread is in the December issue, and here is an excerpt from Hamish Bowles’ feature:
Fired Up: “I’ve always been an outspoken and extreme dresser,” pronounces Lady Gaga… To prove her point, Lady Gaga arrived at Vogue to discuss the shoot wearing a trailing white chiffon Galliano goddess gown with a Philip Treacy headdress that spelled VOGUE in clipped white feathers. The following day, she came to see Creative Director Grace Coddington in a little black dress with a flaming-red wig, and later appeared on location, as Coddington recalls, “stark naked except for her white rubber raincoat and some very, very high heels!” She then promptly threw herself in the mud at Leibovitz’s feet.”Gaga was so bubbly and chatty and enthusiastic and excited to be alive,” says Coddington. “She was up for anything.”
