As outrageous as the reigning queen of pop may be, the Lady Gaga Mini-Me collection takes it to a whole new level. Thankfully, this [baby fashion line](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/isla-and-mimi) is actually a spoof for one of Jimmy Kimmel’s latest episodes.

Jimmy Kimmel and his team converted some of Lady Gaga’s most memorable and even controversial outfits into clothes for children. The Lady Gaga Mini-Me collection may seem ridiculous, but it is also extremely cute. From the meat dress that enraged PETA advocates to the bubble dress worn throughout her Fame Ball tour in 2009, costumes included in this collection are odd, but adorable. I wouldn’t be surprised if parents start to ask for these replicas in order to dress up their children as Lady Gaga for Halloween.
