| Lady Gaga's Meat Dress: Peek Behind The Scenes At Last Year's VMAs Posted: 20 Aug 2011 09:28 AM PDT On 'VMAs Revealed' MTV staffers recall the reaction backstage when Gaga unveiled her beefy couture.
The Video Music Awards have a long history of outrageous, over-the-top and just plain bizarre fashion firsts. Artists tend to think way outside the box when it comes to dressing up for the VMAs, but perhaps no getup in show history has gotten as much attention, caused as much head scratching and turned more heads than Lady Gaga's infamous meat dress.
After walking the white carpet in a flowing gold and burgundy Alexander McQueen dress with a matching headdress, Mother Monster shocked the world at the 2010 awards when she slipped into her third outfit of the night: a dress made out of some choice cuts of beef. "As soon as I saw her on that white carpet I just knew that this night was gonna be Gaga insanity," said Alycia Belle, VMA wardrobe stylist for the 2010 show, in a new "VMAs Revealed" special that premiered on Saturday (August 20). Before unwrapping the cow couture, Gaga had merely one wardrobe change during the show — a black Armani leather dress with spiked bustier. But when the time came to announce Video of the Year, the audience had no idea what was about to hit them. The folks working behind the scenes saw a suspicious number of coolers being brought into Gaga's dressing room, so they could tell that something was up. "I'm getting calls that she needs to be in her seat, we give her kind of a two-minute head's up, the door opens up, and I see she's wearing a red dress," said Ernesto Elias, Gaga's talent escort at the show. "I start to notice people staring a little bit harder than they normally would." And with good reason. While plenty of stars were wearing leather shoes, or even cowhide skirts, no one expected the eye-popping fashion choice that Gaga was about to unveil. "I was literally this close to her ... I just remember looking at it and just wondering, 'Is that really ... ?' remembered Sandra Piedra, talent coordinator for the 2010 VMAs. After a harder look, Elias said he realized that it was not a "normal" type of fabric. Let's call that the understatement of the year. "People who were on the floor, who are right around her, are like, 'It's meat! Meat! Like, ground chuck meat!' " Dave Sirulnick, executive producer of the VMAs, recalled. "I know that there is nobody who ever heard the two words 'meat' and 'dress' put together before September 12 [2010] at about 11 p.m." And with the announcement this week that Gaga will be opening the 2011 VMAs, fans of music and fashion everywhere can't wait to see how she'll top herself. The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air live on Sunday, August 28, from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

| Kim Kardashian Marries Kris Humphries Posted: 20 Aug 2011 07:48 AM PDT Lindsay Lohan, Ryan Seacrest and more celebs join Kardashian family at California ceremony.
Kim Kardashian and basketball beau Kris Humphries have tied the knot! The pair made it official Saturday (August 20) at a private estate in Montecito, California, according to E! Online. For all those fashionistas out there wondering what Kim wore when she married the New Jersey Nets player, like sister Khloé before her, she stunned in a custom gown designed by wedding-dress maven Vera Wang. Kim's sisters also wore white Vera Wang bridesmaid dresses. For the fellas, including groomsmen Rob Kardashian and Lamar Odom, it was black Zegna tuxes.
The wedding guests included Lindsay Lohan, Ryan Seacrest, Eva Longoria and many of Humphries' Nets teammates. Kardashian bestie La La Vazqez, who is also married to a basketballer, Carmelo Anthony, tweeted before the ceremony, "Butterflies in my stomach for @KimKardashian & @Krishumphries...beyond excited for today! the Anthonys are on our way! Love is in the Air!" Kim and Kris announced their engagement earlier this year after only six months of dating, and the Kardashian family was just as shocked by the news as fans were. "We were totally surprised. I mean, because I had been working so much, and Kris lives in New Jersey, I've only met him not even a handful of times," Khloé told MTV News earlier this summer. "We were at a family dinner and she walks in, and she's like, 'I'm engaged,' but we didn't even know if it was a joke." The couple celebrated their upcoming nuptials Thursday night at Scarpetta inside the Montage Beverly Hills hotel. People.com reports that they were surrounded by 75 of their closest friends and relatives, including Kim's equally famous family, who enjoyed cocktails and dinner. "What a fun night w family & friends!" Kim tweeted after the rehearsal dinner. "Now I'm sleeping in late tomorrow!" The ceremony will air in E!'s "Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event" on October 9 and 10. Leading up to the big day, Kim Kardashian said she was feeling completely at ease with taking this next step in her personal life. In an interview with People.com about her wedding, she said, "Everyone says you'll freak out, but I'm totally calm. I think that freak-out moment kind of already passed." |
