New York City-born pop star Lady Gaga has been signed up as the latest face of Japanese cosmetics brand Shiseido, according to a report published by WWD.

The Japanese-only campaign involved the pop star taking 50 different selfies of her face which will appear in a selection of the country's newspapers over the New Year's period, one of Japan's busiest shopping times.

Forty-six ads will arrive this Thursday to greet 2015, with another four set to drop next week on January 5. There are apparently no plans to use the images outside of the country, but we imagine that social media-hungry Japanese 'Little Monsters' will soon be sharing the pics! 

Gaga has recently starred in fashion campaigns for luxury label Versace as well as this year's holiday advertising for Swedish high street giant H&M alongside her friend Tony Bennett.
