Initially, her meat dress outfit received criticisms from the animal rights advocacy group, PETA. PETA already released an official statement condemning Lady Gaga’s meat dress:
“Meat is the decomposing flesh of a tormented animal who didn’t want to die, and after a few hours under the TV lights, it would smell like the rotting flesh it is and likely be crawling in maggots — not too attractive, really,” said PETA in their statement.
Franc Fernnandez was the one who designed Lady Gaga’s meat dress. He also designed Lady Gaga’s diamond headpiece in the video for “Bad Romance,” which picked up seven of the singer’s eight VMA wins last night. When asked what was his inspiration in making the meat dress of Lady Gaga, Franc Fernandez said that he was contacted by Lady Gaga’s stylist Nicola Formichetti and was told to make a meat dress.
Check out what the ensemble looks like draped on a mannequin at Fernandez's blog, where there's also a close-up of the coordinating crystal-encrusted meat purse, and let us know what you think, in our meat-dress poll.
If you're in the mood for the fast-food version of the story instead of partaking in that sit-down meal, click on past the break below for a shot of the backside of the dress -- it looks as if someone may have grabbed fixings for a sandwich before Gaga took the stage -- and a detail of presenter Cher clutching the meat purse while the younger pop star accepted her Moonman.

Even though Lady Gaga is known for her non-normal fashion taste, she admits that the meat dress was a indeed a bit of a fashion risk. At first glance from afar, the dress would seem to be just a plain, ragged one, but when she said that line to Cher with the mention of “meat purse” on it, people realized what she was actually wearing. And for those who have been following the artist’s career, it may be remembered that she once wore a meat bikini for a Japanese magazine.
As the singer/song writer known for her outrageous fashion ensembles walked up the stage of the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, she sported a get-up that could have raised the brows of animal rights activists—a dress, a pair of boots and head dress that resembled pieces of raw meat.
