The Fame Monster
Two covers were created for "The Fame Monster", both of which were shot by French photographer Hedi Slimane. In the artwork of the standard edition, Gaga is seen sporting a blond wig and a sleek, angular black coat, the collar of which covers the lower half of her face. The angular obscuring of her face was a reference to the similar cover art for "The Fame", but was relegated as "sleek" by Andrew Unterberger from "Billboard". He added that "there's a danger in Gaga's eyes this time out, and the feeling of greater depth in its austerity: A star, but one with a lot to say." The image of the deluxe version sees the singer draped in thick brown hair, her face embellished with heavy, streamy black eyeliner. A vinyl picture disc edition of The Fame Monster features the "blonde" cover on the A side and "dark" on the B side.
