The Worst Red Carpet Looks of 2023
Another year, another slew of trainwreck fashion moments on the red carpet that are impossible to look away from. From donning feathers and fringe to ill-fitting gowns, it’s almost like some of these stars were trying to end up on a worst-dressed list.
So grab your popcorn and join us as we cringe our way through the worst red carpet looks of the year!
Anne Hathaway
I know we’re in the midst of a strong ’90s comeback, but can we just leave the denim nostalgia in the past?? Of course, if anyone has a shot at making denim look chic, it would be Anne Hathaway in this straight-off-the-runway Ralph Lauren two-piece at the CFDA Fashion Awards. Yet here we are anyway.
Rita Wilson
Ok, she looks timeless and classic. But we are too grown to be mixing sequins with feathers on the Grammys red carpet, Rita!
Shania Twain
Shania…is that you? Or one of the Sanderson sisters?
Doja Cat
Elizabeth Banks
Emma Roberts
The actress showed up to the famous Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty in Dolce & Gabbana. The look would’ve had a more modern feel if they had chopped the veil-looking sheath and ended it where the spaghetti straps fall. And maybe if we could see a black combat boot paired with the gothic gown. It had potential, but on the list it goes!
Halle Berry
Garcelle Beauvais
Florence Pugh
Sabrina Dhowre Elba
Idris looks fine as always, and while his wife, Sabrina, is stunning, we could do without the shoulder pads and blinding shade of green.
Viola Davis
Pedro Pascal
I have to say, although I’m not a fan of shorts on a red carpet, Pedro’s leg is a lot nicer to look at than Angelina’s..!
Hannah Waddingham
Gigi Hadid
Gigi showed up to a Victoria’s Secret event earlier this year looking like an over-ripe banana…
Demi Lovato
Post Malone
The rapper showed up to the CMAs looking like he was going to a cowboy cosplay party—red solo cup and all!
Melissa McCarthy
Brandi Carlile
Kacey Musgraves
Ashley Graham
The gorgeous Ashley Graham teamed up with British designer Harris Reed to blend “Carl Lagerfeld’s grace with Harris Reed’s signature fluidity” for the 2023 Met Gala. It’s a valiant effort at a classic look, but her hair looks crunchy and matted to her forehead, and the sleeves are giving Hunger Games Capital-chic. It’s all just a bit much.
Michelle Williams
Michelle Williams showed up to the Grammys looking more like a blushing bride than a movie star!
Kathy Hilton
Oh, Kathy. Even Paris doesn’t try this hard to look young.
Selena Gomez
Oh, Selena. Maybe your bestie Taylor can help you upgrade your style in the new year.
Heidi Klum
Irina Shayk
Kristen Stewart
None of these things should be worn together. KStew looks uncomfortable just being around the color pink.
Janella Monae
Alisha Gaddis
The Latin-Grammy-winning musician donned a very…vibrant Rachel Burke ball gown to the 65th Grammy Awards. The tulle sleeves took it well over the top, and internet commenters pointed out it was a bit too similar to the Oscar de la Renta flower gown Taylor Swift wore to the 2021 Grammy Awards.
Ben Platt
The actor looks a bit stiff and uncomfortable on the 2023 Met Gala red carpet, dressed head to toe in Chanel and Christian Louboutin. The cropped jacket and the gold chain belt? He kinda looks like a waiter on a cruise ship…
Lainey Wilson
Lea Michele
Lizzo
Luke Combs
Serena Williams
The dress itself isn’t bad; but it’s wearing Serena Williams, and Serena Williams—the GOAT—needs to wear it. This isn’t her best serve.
Blac Chyna
Blac Chyna looks vastly different now (she removed all the fillers in her face), but back in February she made quite the splash at the Grammys red carpet with this feathery one-piece that’s giving Black Swan.
Sam Smith
Sam Smith showed up to the Grammys and really said, “I’ll give you a reason to be mad at me!” If not for their music, then for their red carpet looks.
Zoe Saldana
Body cast on bottom, bridesmaid dress on top!
Miguel
Did Miguel and Anne Hathaway miss the memo that this is not 2002???
Priscilla Block
Well, this is certainly a bold…statement. I’m not sure what the statement is, and it sure isn’t fashion. But it’s bold.
Kim Petras
I know black and white was the color combo of the evening because of the theme honoring the late Karl Lagerfeld, but this off-white dress—combined with the silvery eyeshadow— is washing out the singer. A pop of color with the lipstick or earrings wouldn’t hurt!
Pusha T
Saweetie
Are those pink…bones???
Rita Ora
Rita Ora, trying too hard yet being forgettable, per usual
Mara Rooney
Is she a soldier or a ballerina? Pick a lane and stick to it, Mara!
Kandi Burruss
Jimbo
Lizzo
I have to say, this is the most covered up I’ve ever seen Lizzo. Still not a fan.
