Lady Gaga has stripped off for the next issue of V magazine.

The singer has just released new single 'Applause' and her promotional duties ahead of November album 'ARTPOP' are ramping up.

As previously reported, a fully naked shot of Gaga from an upcoming V magazine was recently uploaded online by photographers Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin .

New images from the magazine have now emerged and they see the 'Born This Way' singer continue the nude theme.

One picture sees Gaga covered in muck as she bares her breasts for all to see.

The V issue will come in four different covers, with the magazine saying: Gaga considers each cover an extension of herself, representing her at different stages of her life."
