From lighting to meat: check out these wild and whacky outfits

Last week was Paris Haute Couture Week.

It's a week where the biggest names in the world of fashion go to Paris for exclusive showcases of handmade designs.

They are usually very bold and quirky, and take hundreds of hours to create.

This year saw a dress that saw fashion combining with science - it was put in a particle accelerator to trap electrons, so that the dress looked like it was made of lightning on stage.

Which got us thinking, what other strange and wonderful outfits have we seen before? Read on to find out.

Of course at the top of our list is Lady Gaga's famous meat dress, that she wore to the MTV Music Video Awards back in 2010.

And no, the dress doesn't just LOOK like meat, it was really made from layers of Argentinian beef.

Also from this year's Paris Haute Couture Week came this fabulous bird design.

Actor Emma Corrin wore the pastel-coloured feather jacket, I hope they didn't get poked by those talons!

At this year's Met Gala, Olympic skier Eileen Gu wore a dress that looked like it was made of bubbles.

The gown has more than 15,000 hand-formed, individually bonded, iridescent glass bubbles.

If you're a lover of spheres, cubes and pyramids, then these outfits might be for you.

These geometric outfits are from designer Viktor and Rolf's Haute Couture show in 2024.

You wouldn't want to get poked by those!

At the 2025 Met Gala, legendary singer and actress Diana Ross had the dress to trump all other dresses.

The 18 foot long (5.4m) train on the white cloak was embroidered with the names of all of her children and grandchildren.

If the Met Gala in 2019 had a powercut...I think they'd be safe.

That'd be thanks to Katy Perry's outfit that year, which involved a chandelier on her head and another around her waste.

The outfit had 18 steel bones and two hidden battery packs to light up the look.
