September issues are always a big deal, and Vogue has quite the cover contender: Lady Gaga. The pop star excitedly took to Twitter last night to share the first peek at the cover, posting to her Little Monsters page: “SHH DONT TELL TWITTER/ SEPT ISSUE OF VOGUE MAGAZINE/ Sorry Anna but the underground kids deserve it. bisous! […].”

In one word, the cover itself is stunning. Gaga strikes a glamorous, discretely drag-inspired pose (she even tweeted: “Who else sees me channeling @RuPaul on the COVER of VOGUE […],”) in a dramatic, fuchsia mermaid-cut Marc Jacobs gown. True to Gaga form, the Mother Monster made sure to flash some skin between the glossy’s covers: in a story photo, she’s naked save for a shockingly pink Steven Jones hat.

And thanks to Gaga’s social media prowess, the Mert & Marcus-shot images have now made the rounds to Gaga’s 28-million-plus Twitter followers, along with countless other media outlets. We can only wonder: will she soon share a sneak preview sniff of her soon-to-debut perfume?
