Lady Gaga's Meat Dress

About

Lady Gaga's Meat Dress, worn at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, is a highly iconic and provocative fashion piece. Designed by Franc Fernandez and styled by Nicola Formichetti, the dress was made entirely from raw beef, including a matching hat, boots, and purse. This bold outfit was part of Gaga's three costume changes that evening, marking a memorable moment in both fashion and pop culture history. The dress was a statement piece, symbolizing Gaga's stance on fighting for one's rights and beliefs, particularly in opposition to the U.S. military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Despite criticism from animal rights groups, the dress remains a celebrated example of Gaga's innovative style. It has been preserved like beef jerky and is now displayed at the Haus of Gaga museum in Las Vegas, ensuring its enduring impact on fashion and cultural discourse.
