Gaga’s Meaty Finale at the 2010 MTV VMAs

Lady Gaga, the queen of pop, outdid herself at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards with a trio of outfit changes that culminated in the unforgettable raw meat dress. Before this headline-grabbing carnivorous couture, Gaga graced the red carpet in a spectacular Alexander McQueen gown and later switched to a striking Armani Privé ensemble for her performance.

Known for hits like “Poker Face” and “Bad Romance,” Gaga used her wardrobe to challenge norms and spark conversations. The meat dress, her third and most jaw-dropping look of the night, was a quintessential Gaga performance art piece, serving up a hot topic for discussion that lasted long after the awards.
