Red Carpet Worst Dressed
The A-list stars who have made the worst-ever fashion offences
PA PhotosMischa Barton in white mini-dress, Cannes Film Festival 2010
Why It Didn't Work: Each element of Mischa’s look isn’t so bad – well, except for the Clockwork Orange-inspired make-up – but when all put together it’s simply waaayyy too much.

Why It Didn't Work: We’re all for daring to be different on the red carpet, but this look is simply confusing and has nothing to recommend.

PA PhotosTaylor Momsen in a voluminous black dress, MTV EMAs 2010
Why It Didn't Work: If Taylor Momsen was attending a Halloween party we’d give her full-marks, but the overkill of kohl-rimmed eyes, blood red lips and straggly hair is too much – even for an MTV awards do.

PA PhotosDaisy Lowe in a transparent dress, Alice In Wonderland premiere 2010
Why It Didn't Work: A certain amount of restraint goes a long way with the underwear as outerwear trend – even if you’ve got a body as gorgeous as Daisy Lowe’s.
Get the look: Daisy Lowe
PA PhotosNicole Kidman in Oscar de la Renta, SAG Awards 2010
Why It Didn't Work: Did Nicole Kidman travel back in time to 2006? The dress might have worked on its own, but the chunky accessories and flowing waves made this boho look decidedly dated.
Celebrity surrogates: Nicole, Elton, SJP and more
PA PhotosLady Gaga in Franc Fernandez, MTV VMAs 2010
Why It Didn't Work: It’s a dress. Made of slabs of meat. With matching shoes, bag and fascinator. Need we say more? We’ve got to admit though, Gaga didn’t get to where she is today by following trends now, did she?

Bigpicturesphoto.comLindsay Lohan in leggings, London party 2010
Why It Didn't Work: Tucking anything into leggings, much less a rubber vest top, is a sure-fire way to serious wardrobe malfunction. Lindsay should’ve tried a lengthy tee or jumper.
Lindsay Lohan’s style evolution
PA PhotosBeth Ditto in a vintage dress, Cannes Film Festival 2010
Why It Didn't Work: We usually rate Beth Ditto’s quirky style, but this mix of cartoon fox head, feathers and marble effect is too OTT for our taste.

PA PhotosHollyoaks’ Bronagh Waugh in a sheer dress, British Soap Awards 2010
Why It Didn't Work: Fashion faux pas are often rife at the British Soap Awards, but Bronagh reached a new level when she chose not to wear a scrap of underwear and let her sequins do the job instead.

PA PhotosHeidi Range in black jumpsuit, BRIT Awards 2011
Why It Didn't Work: More Aladdin panto than 70s glam rock, this jumpsuit hides Heidi Range’s sexy curves and the accessories aren’t helping either.

PA PhotosNicole Richie in Emilio Pucci, Art of Elysium Gala 2011
Why It Didn't Work: It’s rare that red carpet darling Nicole Richie makes a fashion misstep, but this unflattering dress coupled with a just plain scary 20s-inspired ‘do isn’t working for us.

PA Photos/www.paphotos.comFergie in violet gown, Golden Globes 2010
Why It Didn't Work: Fergie strayed a little too far from her fashion comfort zone, looking out of place (or perhaps like an errant bridesmaid) in this pretty pastel gown.

PA PhotosNicki Minaj in Givenchy, Grammys 2011
Why It Didn't Work: There’s eccentric and there’s just plain silly, and Nicki Minaj falls firmly in the latter camp with this leopard print outfit coupled with a Marge Simpson like ‘do.
The newest fashionistas to watch
PA PhotosAmber Rose in a snakeskin jumpsuit, MTV Music Awards 2009
Why It Didn't Work: Jumpsuit and snakeskin are two words that should never ever sit alongside each other. Sorry Amber, we're not loving this look!
Rex FeaturesCeline Dion in Christian Dior, Oscars 1999
Why It Didn't Work: The trilby, the glasses and the startling white hue - everything about this screams overkill.
Rex FeaturesCher in Bob Mackie, Oscars 1986
Why It Didn't Work: Cher we love you but did you really want to look like a Russian belly dancer meets one of the Queen's guards? We thought not.
PA PhotosAvril Lavigne in a gold ruched dress, American Music Awards 2007
Why It Didn't Work: Pink streaks and a gold ruched dress? No Avril, go back to tartan minis and Metallica T-shirts.
Rex FeaturesGeena Davis in white ruched dress, Oscars 1992
Why It Didn't Work: Can-Can? More like Can-Can't!
PA PhotosKirsten Dunst in vintage YSL, MET Gala 2007
Why It Didn't Work: We love daring celebs but Kirsten's cute figure is totally lost.
PA PhotosJessica Simpson in Roberto Cavalli, MET Gala 2007
Why It Didn't Work: Must we see this much Jessica? Less of the fake tan and breasts, but more of the classic Hollywood red lippy and sparkle.
Rex FeaturesAngelina Jolie in a long grey coat and wet-look trousers, Girl Interrupted LA premiere 1999
Why It Didn't Work: A long grey waterproof coat is a total fashion no-no, even for the hottest woman in the world.
Rex FeaturesSharon Stone in a lace and feather dress, at the film premiere of 101 Dalmatians 1996
Why It Didn't Work: Feathers, lace and slicked back hair is not a good look to go for - if Sharon cannot pull it off, then no-one can!
PA PhotosBeyoncé in House of Dereon, Oscars 2009
Why It Didn't Work: Despite having the curves of a goddess, the whole 70s furniture print just doesn't work. Please take note.
Rex FeaturesGwyneth Paltrow in Alexander McQueen, Oscars 2002
Why It Didn't Work: Gwyn we love you but DON'T wear a sheer top sans bra ever again.
PA PhotosJoss Stone in a psychedelic mini dress, Brit Awards 2007
Why It Didn't Work: Her gorgeous figure can hold any dress but this insane print and afro-style hair 'do doesn't do her any justice...we could go on!
Rex FeaturesBjörk, in Marjan Pejoski, Oscars 2001
Why It Didn't Work: If you've seen Swan Lake, then this outfit wouldn't be funny! We're all for fashion bravery but this is a step too far.
Rex FeaturesCameron Diaz in Emanuel Ungaro, Oscars 2002
Why It Didn't Work: It's more sophisticated garden party than the Oscars!
Rex FeaturesCatherine Zeta Jones in Versace, Oscars 1999
Why It Didn't Work: There's one stage of fashion that's worse than awful, and it's called middle-of-the-road - CZJ you've been warned.
WennDemi Moore in floral evening coat, Cannes 1997
Why It Didn't Work: If a print, even remotely, reminds you of upholstery then you know it's bad. Demi we rate your style soooo much more now, phew!
PA PhotosMiley Cyrus in Zuhair Murad, Oscars 2009
Why It Didn't Work: She looks like she's auditioning for The Little Mermaid. The pearl belt takes this look overboard (excuse the pun!) although we love her hair and make-up.
PA PhotosMelanie Griffith in Versace, Oscars 2005
Why It Didn't Work: Granted she had a leg cast and a walking stick to contend with, but sadly this didn't flatter Mel's figure at all. The skin-coloured mesh back is too faux for words.
PA PhotosNicole Scherzinger in David Meister, People’s Choice Awards 2010
Why It Didn't Work: Metallic dresses are hard to pull off as it is but add a gaudy shimmer and heavy-duty accessories and you've got a serious case of overkill!
PA PhotosUma Thurman in Christian Lacroix, Oscars 2004
Why It Didn't Work: No she's not auditioning for a part in the Sound of Music so we couldn't help but wonder why Uma looks like she should be yodeling her way down the red carpet.
