When Lady Gaga's Versace campaign shots were unveiled, the star looked gorgeous and glowing as she posed with some designer goodies, but it looks like Mother Monster had a helping hand in achieving her flawless look.
Untouched photos from the singer's campaign have been leaked online and it looks like the star's pics underwent some heavy photoshopping before the final images were unveiled.
Captured by photography duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott for the Italian fashion house's spring/summer 2014 campaign, images of the singer prior to editing have surfaced.

The 'before' images show the 28-year-old wearing minimal make-up and with bruised legs. Meanwhile Gaga's blonde wig, an homage to the hairstyle of the brand's creative director Donatella Versace, has been lightened to look more platinum.

Gaga has yet to comment on the leaked images but you can be sure she won't be happy. The Born This Way singer previously lashed out after her December Glamour cover was photoshopped.

The outspoken star used her speech at Glamour's 2013 Women of the Year Awards to give a stern critique of her own photos. "I felt my skin looked too perfect. I felt my hair looked too soft," said the star. "I do not look like this when I wake up in the morning".
She went on to urge her young fans to "fight back against the forces that make them feel like they're not beautiful."
"It is fair to write about the change in your magazines. But what I want to see is the change on your covers... When the covers change, that's when culture changes", she said as she addressed the magazines.
