The Most Over-The-Top Red Carpet Looks Ever

In yet another over-the-top red carpet look, Lady Gaga wore her infamous dress, headpiece, and shoes all made out of raw meat to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs). According to Billboard, in an interview with Ellen Degeneres on her talk show, it wasn't meant to be a statement about animal rights, rather, it was a comment on the U.S. military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy and was in support of LGBTQ service members in the military. 

Gaga said, "If we don't stand up for what we believe in, if we don't fight for our rights, pretty soon we're going to have as much rights as the meat on our bones." 

The dress has been preserved, according to Cosmopolitan UK, but doesn't look quite as fresh as it did when she rocked it at the show.
