Where: Los Angeles MTV awards acceptance speech
Why: Hhhmmmnnn all sorts of reasons
Probably Gaga's most iconic moment so far, the amazing 'meat dress' is now to be displayed to the public at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Gaga wore this outfit, made out of layers of Argentinian beef, at the MTV Video Music Awards. Designed by Franc Fernandez and Nichola Formichetti, Gaga later told US talk show host Ellen DeGeneres that the dress had "many interpretations". She said "If we don't stand up for what we believe in, and if we don't fight for our rights, pretty soon we're going to have as much rights as the meat on our own bones. And, I am not a piece of meat" Gaga caused maximum controversy by wearing this piece of BBQ Couture including a meat fascinator and purse. This almost overshadowed the fact that she picked up eight awards, the most for any artist in 23 years.
For it's preparation at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame the hand-sewn dress was kept in a meat locker then placed in a vat of special chemicals. This was followed by a drying out process by a team of taxidermists before being shipped of to the museum. Finishing touches including restoring the meat/garment to its original colour as it had started to dehydrate and gone a bit 'Jerkyesque'...
