Lady Gaga身披五花肉 霸气横扫MTV大奖

Lady Gaga dramatically won the attention of the MTV Video Music Awards when she took to the stage in a matching dress, boots, hat and purse apparently made from raw meat.

She collected eight awards while wearing the outfit which appeared to be made of cuts of beef.

It was in fact designed by fashion designer Franc Fernandez - although it was not clear whether it was made from realistic-looking fabric or actual meat.

The Poker Face singer, 24, had for the second highest number of wins in one night in the history of the event.

Cher presented her with the most coveted award of the ceremony, Video Of The Year for Bad Romance.

Lady Gaga handed Cher her purse and told the audience: "I never thought I\'d be asking Cher to hold my meat purse."

She told the audience: "Thank you so much. I was so nervous for tonight that I would let my fans down. I love you so much.

"I promised if I\'d won this tonight I\'d announce the name of my new record. It\'s called Born This Way."

Later Lady Gaga explained that the dress was designed to draw attention to the need to "fight for our rights".

When Ellen DeGeneres presented Lady Gaga with a “veggie bikini” as an alternative to the meat dress on her show Lady Gaga said: “Well, it is certainly no disrespect to anyone that is vegan or vegetarian. As you know, I am the most judgement-free human being on the earth.

"However, it has many interpretations. For me this evening, if we don’t stand up for what we believe in and if we don’t fight for our rights pretty soon, we’re going to have as much rights as the meat on own bones. And, I am not a piece of meat.”

Not all celebrity watchers were impressed by her choice of outfit. An awards insider from the Los Angeles Times blogged that the stunt was boring.

Meanwhile, last week Lady Gaga appeared on the cover of Japanese Men\'s Vogue wearing a meat bikini and attracting criticism from animal rights groups.

当Lady Gaga身着看似由生肉制成的套裙、靴子、帽子，拎着手袋登上美国MTV音乐录影带大奖颁奖台时，她立即成为全场的焦点。

当晚，Lady Gaga穿着这身“牛肉片”行头横扫八项大奖。

这套礼服其实是时装设计师弗兰克•费尔南德斯的大作，但究竟是由以假乱真的纤维还是生肉制成还不清楚。

因演唱《扑克脸》一举成名的24岁歌手Lady Gaga一夜之间追平了该奖项历史上的第二好成绩。

她因一曲《罗曼死》而斩获了最令人艳羡的年度最佳音乐录影带奖。（老一辈流行天后）雪儿为Lady Gaga颁奖。

Lady Gaga把手袋递给雪儿，对观众说：“我从没想过能让雪儿给我拿着‘肉手袋’。”

她还对观众说：“谢谢你们。今晚我很紧张，很怕让我的粉丝们失望。我深爱着你们。”

“我承诺过如果今晚我赢得大奖，就会公开新专辑的名字，谜底就是Born This Way。”

随后她解释道，这件礼服的设计初衷是为了唤起大家“争取权利”的意识。

当艾伦•德詹尼斯给Lady Gaga拿来一件“蔬菜比基尼”让她换换“口味”时，Lady Gaga说：“这当然不是对纯素食者或普通素食者的不敬。大家都知道，我是世界上最无惧议论的人。”

“但这件‘鲜肉衣’可以有多种解读。我今晚穿这件衣服就是想告诉大家，如果我们不坚持信仰，不立即为权利而战，我们的权利早晚会只剩下‘肉骨头’。换种解释也可以说，这表明我不只是一块肉。”

并非所有名人观察家都赞赏她的这身装扮。《洛杉矶时报》的一位权威评奖人士发博文称这种噱头令人生厌。

Lady Gaga上周还身穿“肉制比基尼”登上日本《时尚先生》封面，这招致了动物权利保护组织的批评。

vegan: a vegetarian who omits all animal products from the diet（严格的素食主义者，不吃肉、奶、蛋等，有的不用动物产品）

stunt: any remarkable feat performed chiefly to attract attention（意在引人注意的花招，噱头）
