Lady Gaga Gets Candid About Whether She’d Ever Wear Another Meat Dress (Her Response May Surprise You!)

Lady Gaga is revisiting one of her most iconic looks.

During her lie detector test interview forVanity Fair, the singer, 38, was questioned about some of her career’s memorable style moments. When presented with a photo of the controversial meat dress she wore to the 2010 MTV VMAs, Gaga was asked if she would ever wear raw beef as couture again.

“I don’t think so, no,” she replied. When the person conducting the lie detector test said the results of her response were “inconclusive,” the Grammy winner said, “Oh. Well, that was a surprise.”

The singer also famously asked Cher to hold her purse made of raw meat when she went up to accept an award at the 2010 ceremony. Vanity Fair asked Gaga is the moment brought her closer to Cher, prompting Gaga to reply: “I think so. In the moment.”

Gaga’s infamous dress, designed by Franc Fernandez and made with actual raw meat, caused quite a stir on the red carpet. The singer later told Ellen DeGeneres that the dress was not meant to offend vegans and vegetarians, but that it had “many interpretations,” one being that she isn’t a “piece of meat.”

 In 2015, MTV reported that the dress was still owned by Lady Gaga but that it was part of the “Women Who Rock” exhibition in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which was traveling around the country at the time.

Jun Francisco, the Director of Collections, explained that the dress had to be preserved like beef jerky and transported in a climate-controlled truck. The meat was apparently “very hard” to the touch, and was displayed alongside Gaga’s matching meat shoes.

Per the Reno Gazette-Journal, the meat dress became part of the exhibit at the Haus of Gaga museum in Las Vegas in 2019.

During a 2019 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, fashion designer Brandon Maxwell, who helped style Gaga for the 2010 VMAs, said he was a vegan at the time.

“I wore really long opera length gloves and a mask and just kind of got through it,” Maxwell told host Andy Cohen.

The designer also shared that Gaga created the entire concept of the look. “That was hers,” Maxwell said. “She’s in charge of her ship.”
