Lady Gaga’s meat dress has become the most popular costume choice among Americans planning their outfits for the upcoming Halloween, Billboard reports. One of New York’s steak houses decided to cater to those who desire it and offered an exact replica of the popular singer’s outfit for just $100,000. The costume is made from parts of a pork carcass, which are used to prepare dishes in the establishment, and is essentially an advertisement, but it can also provide meat for an average family for the next six months, provided it is stored properly.
The meat dress was presented by Lady Gaga at the MTV Video Music Awards ceremony on September 12, 2010, and before that, the singer appeared in a “meat bikini” on the cover of the Japanese magazine Vogue Hommes Japan. The complete set consists of a dress, shoes, underwear, a handbag, and a hat.
The new fashion trends were actively discussed by various publications, and there were protests from animal rights groups. Gaga later explained that her stunt was an artistic expression of the motto “I am not a piece of meat.” However, such a deep meaning did not prevent the meat dress from becoming one of the most tasteless outfits.
Even screen veteran Bruce Willis joined the general craze surrounding the extravagant clothing, and in early October, he appeared on a television show – not in a bacon suit, but simply in a meat wig. He even managed to persuade the show’s host, David Letterman, to try a piece of meat that had been on the celebrity’s head.
