Lady Gaga meat dress to be displayed

15th June 2011

(Cover) - EN Star Style - Lady Gaga's infamous meat dress will be displayed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio.

The dress will be a part of the museum's Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power exhibit, which is showcasing on the morning of Thursday June 16.

The eccentric star, who is famed for her innovative fashion choices, wore the hand-sewn outfit made of raw meat when she accepted the award for Best Video of the Year at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards last year.

The dress was created by designers Franc Fernandez and Nichola Formichetti and received mixed reviews from the media and the public.

The controversial attire attracted the attention of animal rights group PETA who were disgusted with the garment.

"Meat is the decomposing flesh of a tormented animal who didn't want to die, and after a few hours under the TV lights, it would smell like the rotting flesh it is and likely be crawling in maggots - not too attractive, really," they wrote in a statement.

The imminent exhibit will feature over 70 artists. It aims to highlight women who pushed the boundaries of rock and roll music. (C) Cover Media
