Anna Wintour Tags Lady GaGa ‘A Childish Diva’ – Meat Dress Stirred Fashion World

Anna Wintour Says Lady Gaga Childish Diva - Meat Dress Stirs Fashion World No less than Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour tagged the ‘Bad Romance’ songstress “a childish diva”. This quote can be found in Maureen Callahan’s unauthorized biography of Lady GaGa entitled Poker Face: The Rise and Rise of Lady Gaga.

Anna Wintour and Lady GaGa met during the Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Gala in May 2010. The singer who was tasked to perform got into a diva attitude when she locked herself up in the dressing room for an hour. Then, after performing late, Lady GaGa allegedly had outrageous demands to Anna Wintour, which then the Vogue editor did not budge on these last minute requests.

Not tiring to be a fashion icon, Lady Gaga has been criticized during her Vogue pictorial for front cover of the said magazine. The eight time winner of the MTV Video Music Awards 2010 has again criticized for the same reason on Vogue magazine – wearing a meat dress.

What does Lady Gaga want to express with her wearing a meat dress?
A lot are suggesting that the pop star wore the meat dress because she wants more attention from the media. Who could want more attention when she’s got all the attention by winning eight out of eleven awards she’s nominated in? Lady Gaga explains that “the dress was open to many interpretations.”

When the pop star appeared on the VMAs wearing the meat dress, a lot of people from the music industry, media and fans were intrigued by her newest fashion.

Speculations range from being a form of art, latest fashion (for Lady Gaga of course), an attention-grabbing act, a defiance of a feminine gesture, anti-fashion to provoking animal rights group to do their job appropriately. But, the last is said to be insanely false.

According to Andrew Groves, Lady Gaga’s meat dress is a form of commentary to the fashion world. Groves explained, “It’s anti-fashion. What she’s doing is quite subversive – it’s a commentary on the fashion and the music industries and I think it’s very clever. What Lady Gaga is really saying is: ‘I’m above all this, but I’ll accept your award.’”

Maybe Lady Gaga just wanted to wear the meat dress because she only wants to wear it. No reason at all. Gaga once said, “I’m just trying to change the world, one sequin at a time.” Maybe we should read between her lines.
