Gaga's leaked Vogue

Lady Gaga's Vogue cover leaked Friday, and sources have confirmed it's authentic. I'm still waiting to see it up close to survey the amount of inevitable airbrushing but there are a few comments at first glance. First, I find it interesting that Vogue feels the need to work in pink into almost every single cover they produce. Her short pink bob is very Lady and I like it a lot, but the complementary pink lettering bothers me. It's just so... well, it's so Vogue. And let's be honest, US Vogue is about the least edgy magazine there is. They could have still kept to their standard but changed the lettering to maybe a deep purple to work off the lipstick, if they still wanted to do matchy-matchy. But that's not to say she's been romanticized here like so many who grace Anna's covers are, especially considering that plum lipstick (love it) and the squared stance. It's pretty, but the combination of the plunging neckline and pink hair are the anchors to Gaga's controversial nature.
I'm also intrigued by the rumor that she's wearing Haider Ackerman. In a very off-hand question, Karl Lagerfeld recently said that should he have to chose a successor today it would likely be Ackermann. I'm wondering if Anna heard this and, if it is Ackermann's dress on Gaga's too-lean frame (airbrushing? Or just another indication that as Gaga's fame rises her body weight drops?), chose accordingly. Or perhaps she just wanted to stray from her usual floaty-frilly dress theme and knew Ackermann would give at least a marginal bit of cred.
