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.
