mumbai/reuters/sta ff/ Indian animal rights activists asked pop star Lady Gaga to pose in a lettuce dress and embrace vegetarianism during a recent visit to India to be part of the star-studded unveiling of the country s first Formula 1 race.
Lady Gaga, who famously wore a meat dress at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, performed at an invitation-only show in a five-star hotel in New Delhi after the race on Sunday.
In a letter to the singer s publicist, PETA India said it hoped she would honour India s reverence for animals by turning vegetarian for the duration of her visit and posing for photos in a lettuce gown to promote the importance of not eating meat.

U.S. government meteorologist expects there will be neutral ENSO conditions for the 2026 farm growing season.
If she agrees, we ll make her a dress entirely of lettuce and held together by pins and threads. It will be a full-length gown, and we ll make sure it looks sexy, said Sachin Bangera of PETA India.
The dress would be constructed leaf by leaf on the singer s body, taking some five to six hours.
Someone will be on hand to spray the lettuce with water so that it doesn t wilt, Bangera added.
There s no word yet on when she will incorporate the remaining food groups into her wardrobe.
