Lady Gaga has been chosen to grace the cover of Vogue magazine's iconic September 2012, marking 120 years of the publication.

In the photo shoot, which was led by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, Gaga is seen sporting bleached blonde hair and various looks by designer Marc Jacobs.

Inside, Gaga discusses her worldwide fame, and how she still manages to travel and enjoy life as a normal person without being noticed.

Vogue's September issue is traditionally the fashion magazine's largest and most profitable. This year the issue stretches to an astonishing 916 pages, making it the largest magazine ever published. It weighs in at five pounds and hits newsstands on August 21.
