Lady Gaga in a meat dress

What these outrageous stars will not go to for the sake of public attention. But some of them exceed even the wildest expectations and fantasies. A striking example is Lady Gaga, who once appeared on the red carpet in a dress made from natural meat.

The first appearance in this, to put it mildly, original outfit, took place as part of the MTV awards. At first, everyone thought that this was a simple imitation and nothing more. But upon closer inspection, everyone realized that they were in front of a real meat dress.

There are some of the most interesting moments that were caused by the appearance of Gaga in her most interesting dress.

• Cher was one of the few who managed to touch the meat dress. She managed to touch the outfit as Lady Gaga stepped out to collect her awards.
• The press, guests and other stars began to ask a huge number of questions and be interested in the features of the dress. In particular, many were worried about whether the outfit radiated nasty odors, whether it was heavy and whether it left behind bloody traces.
• The outrageous singer herself said that by her appearance in such an outfit, she tried to talk about the need to protect her rights and fight for them.
• Opinion regarding the dress was divided. Some sided with the singer, while others spoke out categorically against such manifestations in public. Defenders of animals were especially hard on the singer.
• Following the conclusion of the awards ceremony, a poll was held to determine the most tastelessly dressed celebrity as part of the event. With an indicator of 55 percent, this anti-rating was headed by Gaga.

It is impossible not to note some design nuances and the history of the creation of this outfit:

• The dress was designed by designer F. Fernandez together with Gaga's stylist - N. Formichetti;
• It took experts about a week to assemble the dress;
• The outfit was distinguished by asymmetry and a cutout in the form of a hood;
• The cut has been specifically designed by the designer to keep the product looking attractive;
• The meat base was the steak. The supplier turned out to be a butcher, who provides high-quality meat for the whole family of the designer;
• The singer dressed backstage, because it was necessary to finish some elements already in the state of being put on.

In addition to the dress itself, the designer, together with the singer's stylist, made several accessories for the outfit. These were:

• Handbag made of the corresponding meat material;
• Boots in the color of the dress;
• Hat made of meat.

For the first time in a meat outfit, Gaga appeared on the cover of Vogue magazine. Then it was a bikini. Then the MTV awards ceremony took place, where the singer won the Best Video of the Year nomination for her video.

That evening, Gaga appeared in three different outfits, but, as expected, it was the meat masterpiece that created the greatest resonance.

Did the appearance of the singer in such an original outfit affect public life? Of course.

• The designer of this dress said that due to such a bold image, Fernandez managed to raise his career to a new height. For that I was very grateful to Gaga.Although he had previously made outfits for the singer, Fernandez became incredibly famous after the meat dress.
• Despite harsh criticism, the meat outfit turned out to be the most iconic look of 2010.
• Various parodies appeared, including those performed by famous artists, where a dress made of natural meat was an obligatory attribute.
• Lisa, the heroine of the animated series The Simpsons, in one of the episodes was also dressed in a far from vegetarian outfit.
• Halloween 2010 was marked by huge demand for meat costumes. Especially many people appeared in such dresses in New York.

The reaction to the dress was mixed. Let's highlight a few key points.

• Many media tried to understand what exactly the artist wanted to show with her original appearance. As a result, the options were a protest against fashion, the manifestation of feminism, aging, decay. Another option - the dress did not carry any message, but was simply used to raise the ratings.
• Eminent chefs have noted that people forget what real meat looks like because they buy it neatly wrapped in packaging in supermarkets.
• Animal activists, as expected, criticized the singer, stating the cruelty of this image.

After the ceremony, the outfit was handed over to a famous taxidermist in order to save the dress. When Gaga performed at two TV events, the meat was frozen. At the same time, taxidermist S. Vigilato noted that it gradually began to decompose due to freezing and has characteristic signs and smell.

The dress was carefully treated with special compounds and restored to its original appearance. As a result, he was transferred to the museum, where the outfit was to be stored.

Most likely, the dress will be put up for auction, and the proceeds will go to charity.

It is worth noting that in 2012 the singer reappeared in a meat image. Moreover, the photo session presented to the public caused no less serious excitement. A presentation of a new image took place in Tokyo, where the singer held a concert as part of the promotion of the new album. Photos of a unique image appeared in the celebrity microblog.

The new dress was a tulip skirt, complemented by a bustier. But it was not the outfit itself that caused the greatest shock, but the scenery surrounding the singer. The photo showed the carcasses of cows, which were hung on special hooks. Gaga herself seemed to be also hanging on one of them, demonstrating the image of a suspended piece of meat. Later it turned out that the outfit itself and the scenery were made of plastic. Apparently, the singer analyzed her past mistakes and decided not to repeat them.

But this did not prevent human rights activists from bringing down another flurry of criticism on the celebrity. Vegetarians also expressed their indignation, considering this photo session as propaganda against vegetarianism.
