Plenty of people have had their opinion on Lady Gaga’s meat dress, and she certainly succeeded in what she set out to do, get people talking. It’s four years later and people still share their thoughts.

In fact, fashion designer Ben de Lisi thinks that the dress will haunt her forever.

The 59 year old thinks that the look, which she wore to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, was pushing the boundaries of fashion too far.

When discussing Gaga's controversial look, he told BANG Showbiz: "It's just theatrics, quite frankly. Did I giggle? Yes I giggled. Did I respect it? I respect her bravery. I think much more to the fact that she and her stylist decided to wear prime cut beef in a dress, I mean, that wasn't a dress, it was a costume, it was an installation art that she was part of.

"Fashion is certainly about pushing the boundaries, but there comes a point where it just becomes laughable and I think that's what that was."

US-born Ben - who alongside creating stunning gowns for A-List celebrities, recently designed a limited edition Ryvita Tin for the popular crispbread brand - insists the 28-year-old singer will come to regret her "bizarre" fashion choices in the future.

He explained: "When she becomes a seasoned woman of a certain age, those photographs of her wearing sirloin meat around her will come back to haunt her."

He added: "That's her benchmark, she likes to shock. She's just worn recently a body suit - an all in one body suit leotard - with a photograph of the private parts of a black man, which was big and bold and large on her body and I thought that was quite bizarre."
