Gaga looks sensational in monochrome

An archival photograph of the pop star makes it to the latest cover of a music magazine.

For a change, you don't see her latest candy coloured tresses. Or her bright makeup.

Yet Lady Gaga manages to sizzle in a monochrome version of herself featured on the latest cover of French magazine Numero 214's special music edition.

In the photograph taken by Hedi Slimane, Gaga is wearing a black suit with sleeves folded up casually over an unbuttoned white shirt revealing ample cleavage and holding a cigarette.

She sports dark glasses and a messy hairdo.

You can't miss her candid confidence in the black and white pic.
