“We decided to do the meat dress because I thought to myself if we were willing to die for your country, what does it matter how you identify,” the songstress recalled during an interview with Vogue in November 2021. “This was ultimately designed by Franc Fernandez, but it was the brainchild of House of Gaga and we were backstage with Brandon Maxwell who was working as one of my stylists at the time. He was vegan also and still helping to sew all of these last bits of meat to me and making my meat hat and my meat purse, which was held by Cher. It smelled like meat.”
