Lady Gaga's Meat Dress Nothing New For 'Top Model' Judges

'We already did that in cycle 10 of 'America's Next Top Model.' Sorry Gaga!' Jay Manuel says.

While [article id="1647692"]Lady Gaga may have worn her Franc Fernandez meat dress[/article] like nobody's business at the VMAs, it's hardly her original idea. "America's Next Top Model" mentors Jay Manuel and J. Alexander are quick to point out that they did the fresh-meat-as-clothing bit years ago.

"We already did that in cycle 10 of 'America's Next Top Model.' Sorry Gaga! You know I love you. You know that you're the true supreme artiste, but we did do a photo shoot with the girls," Jay Manuel explained to MTV News at the G-Star's NY RAW Special Edition fashion show in NYC on Tuesday night. The meat-centric "ANTM" episode in question saw the wannabe models wearing various cuts of meat for a photo shoot in New York City's Meat Packing District.

As for Miss J's take on the whole thing, well, he kept it decidedly Miss J. "That's why I have nothing to say about Miss Lady Gaga!"

Miss J and Jay Manuel aren't the only two fashionistas weighing in on the look. "The City" star Kelly Cutrone had only nice things to say about [article id="1647762"]Gaga's steak costume[/article]. "I don't get it. What's the beef with Gaga -- Gaga is the queen of the universe, and no one should say anything negative about her or they will be attacked by her millions of fans," she said. "I am happy to see her looking so healthy and to see she put a little extra meat on!"

[article id="1647783"]New York Fashion Week attendees[/article] have been all abuzz over the controversial look. "Behind the Velvet Ropes" hostess Lauren Ezersky said, "She's cookin! In fact, she needs to cook! ... I love the look of it, but I'm not quite sure if I would want to sit next to her! How would they bring that to her? Like, in a freezer!?"
