It could have been tennis superstar Venus Williams, Rihanna or M.I.A. All wore weird and,what some consider wonderful outfits.

But Time magazine editors chose Lady Gaga and her custom cut dress made of meat with matching head piece and handbag as its No. 1 Fashion Statement of 2010.

Editors wrote, “If making fashion statements is your primary raison d’être (reason for existence), it’s easy to get bored. Exploding bra? Flamed out. Dress made of bubbles? Please. Using your hair as a bow? Not again. But a dress made of meat — with shoes, hat and purse to match –well, that’s fresh.  The carnivorous ensemble Lady Gaga wore to the MTV Video Music Awards ceremony, which is pretty much mecca for eccentric musical sartorialists, raised many questions: What does it mean? How was it made? Does she want A1 sauce with it? Gaga’s explanation of the flank frock — that if we didn’t stand up for our rights, we’d be nothing but meat on our bones — seemed disappointing. We prefer to think of it as haute cutlet.”
