Lady Gaga is being sued by French artist Orlan over her “Born This Way” music video and album artwork.

According to Dazed, Orlan, whose real name is Mireille Porte, has filed a $31.7 million lawsuit claiming Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” look copies her own. Lady Gaga wears prosthetics mimicking elaborate body modifications in both the “Born This Way” music video and single cover artwork.

Orlan’s signature look achieves the same body modification effect except the artist actually underwent surgery to get the look.

“Whether in France or in the United States, Orlan’s unique artwork should be protected,” say Orlan’s lawyers. “We hope that questioning members of Lady Gaga’s creative team will aid the French court in deciding the case.”

The lawsuit began proceedings in 2013 in Paris but papers have now been officially filed.

“This is nothing but an attempt by the plaintiff to generate U.S. press coverage around a meritless case that was filed in France several years ago,” Lady Gaga’s representatives responded.
