The biggest event of the year is here, with celebrities strutting down the red carpet in their finest outfits at the 87th Annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles. Despite having a team of stylists and access to top designers, not everyone managed to pull off the perfect look on Sunday night. Take Lady Gaga, known for her daring fashion choices, who rocked three custom-made outfits by Azzedine Alaïa, a first-time designer for the Oscars. Then there’s Solange Knowles, usually a style icon, who seemed to be swallowed up by a crimson Christian Siriano gown that resembled the red carpet itself. Watch the video below to see who missed the mark when it came to dressing to impress at the star-studded event.
Lady Gaga dons three specially crafted outfits by Azzedine Alaïa, marking his debut at the Oscars. It took a team of 25 individuals three weeks to create these stunning pieces just for her.
Lady Gaga tends to opt for dresses that enhance her figure, but this Alaïa ensemble stands out as a more unconventional choice, especially in terms of its proportions with the oversized sleeves and bold red gloves.
At the recent event on Sunday night, Lady Gaga’s outfit raised some eyebrows and was deemed the worst dressed of the evening. She paired her gown with quirky red gardening gloves and also showed off more than intended with some side boob action.
Lady Gaga’s recent fashion choice of donning ‘washing-up gloves’ has sparked a wave of laughter across the internet, with a number of amusing memes poking fun at her unique outfit.
Lady Gaga didn’t have the best fashion moment at the 2015 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, showing up in a dark, Gothic gown that didn’t quite complement her fair skin and light blonde hair.
At the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, Rita Ora turned heads in a stunning sheer black gown by Donna Karan that gracefully revealed her figure.
Rita Ora made a bold statement at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party 2015 with her daring outfit, which revealed not only an inch of her bum cheek but also showed off her collection of tattoos. She completed her look with a sultry cat-eye makeup, striking red lipstick, and a sparkling jeweled clutch. Being named on the Oscars worst-dressed list doesn’t necessarily mean wearing an unattractive gown. It could also mean sporting unflattering silhouettes, lackluster outfits, or dresses that don’t quite suit the celebrity wearing them. FEMAIL has highlighted this year’s red carpet fashion fails. Lady Gaga’s futuristic ensemble at the event, featuring a textured frock with crocodile scale-like patterns, a full skirt, and oversized sleeves, along with bright red gloves, was meant to exude old Hollywood glamour. It took a team of 25 people an astonishing two weeks to create this unique look. Reflecting on the process of creating the outfit, Lady Gaga expressed her admiration for Alaïa​ and the craftsmanship involved in making every detail perfect, from the embroidery and shoes to the gloves. She described it as a dream come true for anyone working in the fashion industry.
Irina Shayk, the former Victoria’s Secret model and ex-girlfriend of Cristiano Ronaldo, turned heads at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in a daring black dress that showed off some serious side-butt.
Solange Knowles made a bold fashion statement at the Oscars by rocking the Christian Siriano Fall 2015 crepe cape top and pant on the red carpet. It was definitely a unique and unexpected choice for the usually stylish singer.
However, at least Beyonce gave her approval. The popular singer’s superstar sibling expressed her support on Instagram.
Amanda Anka, who was escorted by Jason Bateman, attempted to rock the androgynous look with black pants, but they were unfortunately too baggy and short, paired with a quirky patterned corset top.
Marion Cotillard’s fashion choice at the after party fell short with an elaborate dress that resembled a swan. On the other hand, Andrea Riseborough’s ensemble, featuring a tie-dye blazer, orange shirt, and a tie with a piano motif, missed the mark in terms of style.
Juliette Lewis was hard to miss in her bright neon organza dress for all the unfavorable reasons. On the other hand, Zoe Kravitz’s peach dress resembled a fisherman’s net and didn’t quite do justice to her slender figure.
On the red carpet, Will.i.am sported a unique ensemble with a hat that looked like a train conductor’s, paired with rolled-up black pants and edgy studded sneakers. Meanwhile, Questlove opted for a similar style, rocking baggy black pants and vibrant red sneakers.
Sporting a one-shoulder pink dress, Gwyneth Paltrow faced some negative feedback, with some saying she resembled a handmade fashion doll or a bridesmaid in her Ralph & Russo Couture gown adorned with a large rose. On the other hand, Chloe Moretz’s bohemian style didn’t quite match up to the other elegant outfits we saw.
Blanca Blanco made a bold statement on the red carpet with her unique red and black dress, complete with a ruffle train and sequin embellishments. Scarlett Johansson opted for an all-green look from Atelier Versace, which would have been stunning without the matching necklace and sleek hairstyle. Chloe Grace Moretz sported a floral-print Miu Miu design that aged her beyond her 18 years. Solange Knowles chose a crimson wide-leg pant and high-neck frock by Christian Siriano that failed to impress. Lorelei Linklater’s last-minute Oscars outfit choice backfired, with a high slit and dark Gothic elements overpowering her look. Diane Warren, the Oscars veteran songwriter, seemed to have hurriedly put together her silver sequinned dinner jacket with black ankle boots and a tank top. Laura Dern, nominated for Best Supporting Actress for Wild, took inspiration from knight’s armor for her Oscars style, accompanied by her father Bruce at the ceremony.
Jamie Chung dazzled like a bursting firework in her stunning blue and silver Yanina Couture dress paired with Leticia Linton earrings. Meanwhile, Naomi Watts stunned in a flattering silver and black Armani gown, although the dizzying pattern on the dress seemed more like a headache-inducing optical illusion than a stylish fashion choice.
Did Sia pull off her signature look at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted by Graydon Carter, sporting a quirky fringed headgear? Later in the evening, she ditched her mask for Elton John’s Oscars party, although her bold print outfit didn’t quite hit the mark.
Chloe Moretz rocked a cozy Miu Miu dress that resembled a blanket, complete with oversized pockets that may not have been the most flattering choice.
Lorelei Linklater opted for a textured dress by Gabriela Cadena for her debut at the Oscars. However, the dark hues and Gothic vibes of the outfit seemed to overpower the 20-year-old Boyhood actress, especially with her slightly slouched posture.
The stunning Alberta Ferretti gown with silver studs could be perfect for a warrior princess, but maybe not ideal for the red carpet. Scarlett Johansson, presenting an award at the event, opted for a figure-hugging emerald green Versace halter gown. While the dress was gorgeous on its own, the slick hairstyle and bold necklace added a bit too much flair. Ava DuVernay, nominated for an Oscar for her film Semla, picked a lovely pale blue Prada gown with Henri J Sillam jewelry. However, the top-heavy director may have benefited from a simpler design that balanced her curves without so many embellishments. Michelle Schumacher, whose husband J.K. Simmons won best supporting actor for Whiplash, wore a lackluster purple floor-length dress that failed to make a statement. On the men’s side, Jared Leto made a bold choice with a lilac Givenchy tuxedo, complete with a flower brooch and a seemingly unnecessary umbrella. The New York Times’ T magazine humorously pointed out that Leto looked like he had just come from a bar mitzvah in the early ’80s.
Lady Victoria Hervey tried to pull off the sheer panelling trend, but it ended up looking more tacky than stylish.
Chrissy Teigen, the famous Sports Illustrated model and spouse of singer John Legend, made a bold fashion statement in a glamorous dress that defied the traditional fashion rule of showing either legs or chest, as she flaunted some extra skin.
Catt Sadler stood out in a sparkly netted outfit, while Gayle King’s silver gown appeared more wrinkled than intentionally gathered.
Cheryl Hines made quite the entrance at the 2015 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, wearing a dress adorned with an abundance of sequins. Meanwhile, Eniko Parrish stunned in a flattering nude gown, but Kevin Hart made a fashion misstep in a bright white tuxedo with black lapels and shirt. Fashion critic Simon Glazin from theverysimong.com didn’t hold back when discussing the worst dressed celebrities on the red carpet. He expressed bewilderment at Lady Gaga’s ensemble, remarking that it made her appear somewhat frumpy. Glazin also mentioned his fatigue with the trend of nearly-naked stars at events, citing Rita Ora as an example. Gwyneth Paltrow’s altered Ralph and Russo gown didn’t escape criticism either, with Glazin noting that it fell flat compared to the original runway design. Blanca Blanco’s outfit was likened to a mix of sea monster and old painter’s sheet, while Lupita Nyong’o’s choice of a plain dress was deemed a disappointment. Website founder Lydia Jones from www.wantherwardrobe.com shared her views on the Oscars fashion blunders. She felt that Rita Ora and Irina Shayk’s sheer panel dresses missed the mark, appearing more tacky than stylish. Kerry Washington’s embroidered Miu Miu gown was labeled as dated and washed out, with the award for the worst look of the night going to Solange Knowles for her unflattering draped top and pant combo that clashed with the red carpet.
Laura Dern, nominated for Best Supporting Actress, sported a dazzling Alberta Ferretti gown that seemed to draw inspiration from a knight’s armor. However, the stiff side sweep hair-do didn’t quite complement the look. On the other hand, Jessica Chastain’s Atelier Versace dress had potential in theory, but the beaded top and sash ended up creating a too-fussy neckline that didn’t do justice to her curves.
Director Ava DuVernay’s fashion was on point with her bold color choice, but she could have enhanced her look by opting for a dress that better complemented her figure, with fewer accents and less volume on the top half.
What caught people’s eye more, the impractical umbrella or Jared Leto’s stylish lavender tuxedo? According to T magazine from the New York Times, Leto’s outfit gave off an impression of someone who had just stepped out of a bar mitzvah in the early 1980s.
If Michelle Schumacher had chosen a different material for her dress, it could have potentially looked stunning in the photo alongside her husband, actor J.K. Simmons.
Patricia Arquette took home the award for Best Supporting Actress, but her black and white custom Rosetta Getty dress didn’t quite steal the show in the fashion department. Paired with a Salvatore Ferragamo clutch, heels, and Fred Leighton jewelry, her overall look was understated. On the other hand, former daytime TV host Willow Bay made a bold statement on the red carpet with her love for Star Wars, sporting a Rodarte gown featuring a Yoda print.
Serena Williams didn’t quite hit the mark with her red satin dress at the Vanity Fair party. The gown had barely-there mesh straps and a daring thigh slit. However, her appearance did stir up some gossip about her possibly rekindling things with Common. Common, who along with John Legend won an Oscar for their song Glory, may be back in the picture with Serena.
At the Vanity Fair party, Brooklyn Decker opted for a demure look, hiding her allure in a white satin gown that exuded Victorian elegance rather than the typical glitz of Oscar night.
Nicole Scherzinger’s elaborate black gown lacked the X factor due to its busy design. The dress featured voluminous sleeves, a thigh-high front slit, a plunging neckline, and cut-away detailing on the back and waist as she attended the 23rd Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party.
Known for her impeccable fashion sense, Poppy Delevingne surprised everyone by choosing a bohemian-inspired outfit for the Vanity Fair party. She opted for a strappy black and brown patterned dress with a peplum, paired with plum lipstick and a stylish beaten gold choker.
