Lady Gaga's iconic meat dress turns 5 years old today
8 VMA wins and Born This Way announcement
The 2010 VMAs were 5 years ago today. Gaga made history and swept away 8 awards (the most for a female in a single night ever) and concluded the show by wearing the instantly iconic meat dress and announcing her album Born This Way while accepting Video Of The Year
Today the legendary dress is in the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame

Though it may seem hard to believe, it’s been five years since Lady Gaga wore a dress made of raw meat to the VMAs. While the iconic dress lives in our memories forever—we even just had a miniature version transformed into a Rice Krispies Treat sculpture—we were curious about where it was living, like, right now.
MTV: Is the dress going to live with the museum forever?
FRANCISCO: It will be here on exhibition until at least the end of the year. It might actually be extended after that, but we don’t have any end date yet. For the foreseeable future, though, it’ll be here!
MTV: Haha, wow, that’s very cool. Are people eager to see it?
FRANCISCO: Yeah, when “Women Who Rock” was here—and, actually, when it was traveling—it was very popular, especially with the young crowd. They went straight for the meat dress. I think they’ll be excited to see it again.
MTV: Does the museum own it?
FRANCISCO: No, Lady Gaga still owns it! It’s on loan to us.
And 5 years later it's still being referenced and still making headlines
