She's not known for being shy about her body and Lady Gaga is happy to put it on display in Versace’s Spring campaign
In a just released image, Gaga reclines topless on a purple sofa with her long blonde hair covering her bare breasts.
Wearing just a pair of black Versace trousers and a belt with a huge buckle and some large medallions, her modesty is only protected by her hair.

In the heavily retouched images, Gaga once again looks remarkably like Italian fashion designer Donatella Versace, the fashion house’s Vice President.
Another picture shows her wearing a black dress with a large handbag covering her body.
In an earlier image, released last year Gaga is draped on a satin sofa in a lilac wrap dress with her long blonde hair flowing down her body.
In the stunning photograph that was taken by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, only Gaga's armful of tattoos distinguishes her from her doppelganger.

The skintight dress - no doubt baring the Versace label - binds around her torso in an intricate way, with a large silver ornament resting in her cleavage that is attached to a heavy chain around her neck.

'I am honoured that my friend Lady Gaga is the face of our new Versace campaign,' Donatella told the Independent before her recent fashion show. 'I wanted to capture her true beauty and spirit in images that are elegant and alluring. She is like family to me, the embodiment of the Versace DNA.

Keen Gaga fans will have noticed that the ARTPOP creator wore custom costumes created by the Italian fashion house for her appearance on Saturday Night Live last year, before the collaboration was announced.
'Thank u to @versace for the beautiful custom costumes they designed for all my performances on the show! #SNLVersaceGaga am I dreaming?' tweeted the New York native, who transformed into a showgirl in a stunning gold and sequin-embellished, fringed corset for one of her performances.
She is like family to me, the embodiment of the Versace DNA,' gushed 58-year-old Donatella, who owns 20 per cent of the stock assets of the company since her brother, Gianni Versace, was killed.

As for Gaga, she returned the love by dedicating a track to her mentor: 'What do you wanna wear this spring? / What do you think is the new thing?' she ask in the song from her new ARTPOP album.
'Donatella is an incredible crazy fun pop song with really raising electronic beats that I did with Zedd,' she told Just Jared in August. 'It’s about being a fearless female and not caring what people say about you – being proud of who you are and walking the walk no matter what.
'Maybe she’s a bitch, maybe she’s too skinny, maybe she’s too rich, maybe she’s too out there. Or, maybe she’s brilliant, maybe she’s intelligent, maybe she’s strong, maybe she’s everything, maybe she’s Donatella.'
