Perhaps even the famously taciturn Coco Chanel would have been been impressed with this elaborate photoplay.
Lady Gaga chose the late designer's Paris apartment - and her couch - as setting for The Hollywood Reporter: 25 Most Powerful Stylists cover photo shoot.
The 28-year-old singer threw herself at the mercy of her stylist Brandon Maxwell who draped Gaga in a flowing pink satin Chanel gown corseted with a gilded belt to rival royalty.

Adding a blunt edge was the quilted black leather jacket with gold chains running down the length of the sleeves, while a gold and black stone necklace lay heavy around her throat.
The pop star was photographed by world reknowned lensman Karl Lagerfeld at Coco Chanel's luxurious apartment that transported all to another era.
Gaga requested champagne at the shoot and wore the designer's dress previously seen on supermodel Cindy Crawford in Peter Lindbergh's 'Wild at Heart' Vogue feature from 1991.

Being on Coco's couch and having champagne in her apartment - it should always be a moment that we remember,' Gaga told The Hollywood Reporter.
'So we are not just creating fashion as a look but an entire experience. It's our life. It's the reason I do it every day.'
Lady Gaga, who is known for her carefully orchestrated and often odd fashion assortments and wigs, was seen here with flowing blonde locks, fair brows, a porcelain complexion and ruby red lips.

Most of this was the handiwork of her stylist Brandon, but the rest she credited to Lagerfeld.
Gaga told THR: 'We don't make a move today without Karl. That's the way I am with Tony [Bennett] on the stage - he is the star of the show because he is the legend, and it's the same with Karl.'
