Animal rights organization, PETA, criticized the singer, who was wrapped in meat for the magazine's September issue

Lady Gaga, who is known for making bold fashion statements, did just that for the cover of the September edition of Vogue Hommes Japan. The singer posed in a bikini-like outfit made completely of raw meat.

However, animal rights group, PETA, isn’t too happy with 24-year-old Lady Gaga’s choice of outfit for the photo.

"Oh, Lady Gaga's job is to do outlandish things, and this certainly qualifies as outlandish because meat is something you want to avoid putting on or in your body," Ingrid Newkirk, PETA’s president, told the New York Daily News.

The TV show, America’s Next Top Model, was also criticized by PETA in 2008 when Tyra Banks conducted a photo shoot in a slaughterhouse with the models wrapped in raw meat.

"No matter how beautifully it is presented, flesh from a tortured animal is flesh from a tortured animal," PETA said in a statement after the Top Model episode aired.

"Meat represents bloody violence and suffering, so if that's the look they were going for — they achieved it."
