Lady Gaga has become known for her elaborate stage costumes, but her latest outfit has the animal rights group, PETA, up in arms. 

The singer graces the latest cover of Vogue Hommes Japan wearing red meat. "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, PETA's President, Ingrid Newkirk, told the New York Daily News.

Newkirk adds, No matter how beautifully it is presented, flesh from a tortured animal is flesh from a tortured animal.

Lady Gaga Tweeted the full cover to her fans on Tuesday. She is also on the cover of Japanese Mens Vogue, however, this time shes dressed as her male alter ego Jo Calderone.

The 24-year-old singer is up for a record 13 Video Music Awards, the most nominations received by an artist or group in a single year.  She has two nods in the Video of the Year category for Bad Romance and her Beyonce duet Telephone.

The MTV Video Music Awards air on September 12.
