1. Lady Gaga

This beautiful singer and actress has been known for her controversies since the beginning of her career. One of the most unforgettable moments was her appearance at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, where she wore a dress made of raw meat.

Gaga's dress was heavily criticized, especially by PETA, an animal rights organization. She was accused of committing violence against animals. She quickly dismissed those criticisms.

She explained that her reason for wearing the dress was as a form of protest against the U.S. government's 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' policy, which was considered very discriminatory against LGBT individuals serving in the military.

"The dress has many interpretations. But for me, if we do not defend what we believe in, if we do not fight for our rights, sooner or later we will rot like this meat," she stated as quoted by wolipop.detik.com.

2. Hannah Al Rashid

Hannah Al Rashid is known for vocally expressing her opinions and her stance, especially towards feminism. She once wore a t-shirt that said, 'Strong is #totallyagirl' which critiques the stereotype of women. Yes, women are often identified as the weaker sex. Through that statement, Hannah clearly contradicts this notion.

3. Pandji Pragiwaksono

Pandji Pragiwaksono often wears a black t-shirt that says 'Top of the President of the Republic of Indonesia'. The shirt serves as a critique against the notion that the President is the number 1 person in Indonesia.

Pandji seems to emphasize that the people are the true holders of the highest sovereignty in this republic. The statement also serves as a reminder that as the holders of the highest sovereignty, the people should be able to make better choices, including when determining political options.

4. Pink

The Black Lives Matter movement was strongly voiced in 2020. This was triggered by the death of an African-American man named George Floyd.

Floyd took his last breath after a police officer named Derek Chauvin knelt on Floyd's neck for nearly 9 minutes. This situation made Floyd unable to breathe until he passed away.

Pink is one of the celebrities who attended the demonstration and expressed her support for the Black Lives Matter movement following George Floyd's death.

She wore a t-shirt honoring Rosa Parks, who was an African-American human rights activist.

5. Katy Perry

Katy Perry once wore a t-shirt that said 'nasty woman'. The phrase was aimed at Donald Trump, who had insulted Hillary Clinton with those words.

6. Chiara Ferragni

Similar to Hannah, Chiara Ferragni was spotted wearing a t-shirt that said 'We should all be feminists'. The statement is not only a form of support for the feminist movement but also a critique of those who are anti-feminism.
