When you have to walk down the red carpet as many times as celebs do, you’re bound to mess up once or twice. To be picture-perfect every time would be a statistical anomaly. Suffice it say that there were A LOT of red carpet disasters this year. Disasters that left us aghast, muttering things like “What the…?!”, “Uh, did she look in the mirror before she left the house?”, “Why is she paying someone to dress her like that?” and my personal favourite, “No. Just no.” Sadly, we couldn’t cover all of the red carpet atrocities from 2013. The Internet would probably break if we did, so here are some of our, erm, favourite terrible red carpet outfits. Who do you think is the worst dressed in this list? Did we miss any big red carpet disasters?
Kim Kardashian
Lena Dunham
There’s no denying Lena is funny as hell. But there’s nothing funny about this dress that’s way too big for her or the disastrous matching green eyeshadow.
Julianne Hough
Julianne gets top marks from her waist up. Everything below is just so very, very wrong.
Halle Berry
Bronze eyeshadow and a glossy nude lip is a winning combo.
Unknown
This woman is literally only known as ‘guest’ all over the Internet, but this sunflower-inspired frock has become famous for being one of the worst outfits to grace the Cannes red carpet.
Ashley Benson
There are just too many trends happening all at once here – midriff, peplum, sequins, netting, and a touch of bright colour. Next time, pick one and stick with it.
Elle Fanning
This outfit kind of looks like a school uniform mated with an ugly formal dress. Let’s hope the always-gorgeous Elle has learnt her lesson.
Hana Mae Lee
Guys, Hana is wearing a cigarette butt as a hat. A CIGARETTE BUTT. Nope, no, no, absolutely not.
Elana Lenina
Hey Elana Lenina, Marge Simpson called and she wants her hair back. Your make-up is also all kinds of fierce. But scary fierce.
Nicole Richie
Nicole is usually a shining beacon of hope when it comes to fashion choices, but this turtle-necked velvet maxi is just…so bad. Plus, in what world does an autumnal pattern go with leopard print shoes?
Anna Kendrick
Anna proves that there is such a thing as too much floral. And that satin waistbands are a bad idea.
Alyssa Milano
Why didn’t the ex-Charmed star pick either the pants or dress? We don’t know. We also don’t know if either worn alone would have even been better than this combo.
Ashley Olsen
Isn’t Ashley meant to be a fashion icon? It’s almost as if she wasn’t happy with her dress so she just chucked on some orange organza to try and fix it. Fail.
Z Lala
Z Lala demonstrates that one can actually dress up as a gift bow. See? She proved you all wrong!
Naomi Watts
Earrings, a clutch, and high heels don’t make a nightie red carpet worthy. Really pretty for the bedroom, though.
Amber Valletta
Doesn’t this shiny ensemble remind you of a mermaid? Which is cool, just not for a fancy red carpet event where your picture is taken and distributed all over the Internet.
Rita Ora
Don’t be fooled – Rita hasn’t dressed up as a cloud, this is just her outfit from the BBC Radio 1’s Teen Awards. At least she looks warm…
D’Manti
Ok, so the Grammy’s may not be the most conservative of events, but does that means it’s necessary to just have your boobs and nether-region covered?
Anna Camp
This dress is just all kinds of wrong. The silky material combined with the sheer, polka-dotted panels didn’t quite work. Oh, and let’s not forget that hem. So many wrongs here.
Rooney Mara
The sheer panel at the bottom of this dress isn’t the problem here. It’s the weird cape thing that seems to be attached. It’s all very confusing.
