Lady Gaga reveals her favorite outfit
Lady Gaga is known for her wild fashions, but one has a special place in her heart. Gaga stopped by Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen tonight in a mermaid outfit, including an over-the-top Botticelli wig, and dished which outfit she loves the best.
When a caller asked if she had a favorite outfit and if she had one she regretted, Gaga responded “I’ll always have a soft spot for the meat dress. I really will, for two reasons. One, because I never thought I’ve been able to say the phrase ‘Cher, will you please hold my meat purse.’ That was pretty exciting. And also because it represented something very special to me. At the time ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ was not repealed, and gays were not able to openly serve in the military. I wore the meat that night as a statement about equality, that we’re all equal because we’re all flesh. When we’re dead, does it matter what our sexuality is. And also, I didn’t want to talk to any celebrities and it smelled really bad!!” Hopefully Cher got to wash her hands!
She wore the dress to the 2010 VMAs, and it was just one of many showstopping outfits she donned that evening, including a gorgeous Alexander McQueen gown. The meat dress is still around on display at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, but it’s just jerky now (the didn’t try to mummify it or anything.) Gaga used some fake meat outfits for her “Born This Way” ball, but there will only be one meat dress.
