Roaring in after a double dose of Adele on the November issues of British and American Vogues, Edward Enninful, editor-in-chief of British Vogue and European editorial director of Vogue. delivers Lady Gaga ahead of the November 24 release of her ‘House of Gucci’ crime drama film.

Directed by Ridley Scott, Gaga plays Patrizia Reggiani, an Italian socialite convicted in a highly publicized trial of hiring a hitman to kill her ex-husband Maurizio Gucci. At the time, Maurizio was the head of the iconic Italian fashion house, which was founded by his grandfather Guccio Gucci. This film is only the second one made by Gaga in a lead role.

The superstar is photographed by Steven Meisel for the November cover of Vogue Italia and the December issue of British Vogue. Both Meisel and Enninful have deep roots at Vogue Italia under the fashion and cultural wisdom of editor Franca Sozzani.

Most fashion insiders feel the Vogue Italia cover [above] was a true gift to the publication, bringing back many memories of Meisel’s past imagery for the magazine. The singer is wearing a pink cocoon cape by Valentino and the image channels classic fashion magazine imagery from the 1960s à la Twiggy.

In her British Vogue cover [above], Lady Gaga wears a custom look by Schiaparelli. Creative director Daniel Roseberry devoted six weeks to make the dress, inspired by a 19302 perfume bottle. Silk taffeta sleeves framed the black matte wool crepe dress in a cloud of gold lamé. Gaga wears jewelry by Tiffany & Co. and Boucheron.

Gaga has actually annoyed Reggiani by not coming to meet with her, as actors frequently do. "I only felt that I could truly do this story justice if I approached it with the eye of a curious woman who was interested in possessing a journalistic spirit so that I could read between the lines of what was happening in the film's scenes," Lady Gaga told Giles Hattersley in her British Vogue interview. "Meaning that nobody was going to tell me who Patrizia Gucci was. Not even Patrizia Gucci."

Note that the totally fabulous title of the interview is: ‘It’s Not An Imitation, It’s A Becoming’: Lady Gaga On The ‘Delicious Madness’ Of Inhabiting Lady Gucci’.

Gaga was totally invested in the movie for three years, Gaga told Hattersley. “It is three years since I started working on it, and I will be fully honest and transparent: I lived as [Reggiani] for a year and a half,” Lady Gaga told both publications. “And I spoke with an accent for nine months of that. I never broke. I stayed with her.”
