Lady Gaga

Nicki Minaj

We appreciated the selection of leopard print as a design element for Nicki Minaj’s outfit. The print is a timeless and bold choice that adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any piece.

However, we were also a bit puzzled as to how the Bride of Frankenstein-style puffed sleeve fits into the overall aesthetic. Perhaps if it were on a different garment or paired with a contrasting element, it would make more sense in the context of the collection.

Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera was wearing an outfit that consisted of a peach velvet material that was somewhat worn or tattered in places. The outfit may have been complemented by an elaborate hairstyle that included a significant amount of hair extensions.

Celine Dion

Dion commented on the outfit, saying, “I was the only person wearing pants that were around the wrong way, courtesy of Galliano. If I had done the same thing now, it would have been a hit, but at the time I was ahead of the curve in terms of fashion.”

Ellie Goulding

Many fans expressed their disappointment and frustration, calling her out for being insensitive and lacking consideration for her choice of outfit.

Junya Watanabe

During a fashion show featuring traditional African garments from Junya Watanabe’s clothing line, critics noticed that the majority of the models were Caucasian. One Twitter user commented: “How could you have a fashion show featuring African fabric and patterns and no African people?”

The lack of diversity in the models used for this show highlights a larger problem in the fashion industry, where models of color are often underrepresented on the runway.

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga made headlines at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards by wearing a dress made entirely of raw meat. The outfit was heavily criticized by animal welfare groups, including PETA’s leader Ingrid Newkirk, who called it a symbol of “violent hostility and suffering.” Newkirk noted that the meat used in the dress came from a mistreated animal.
