Fashion Fails: The Most Disappointing Red Carpet Outfits of All Time
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian, the original star of the Kardashian family, has come a long way from her assistant days. Along with being a supermom to her four children, she manages several business ventures and has an impressive social media presence. However, even the most polished celebrities make fashion mistakes.
At the 2013 Met Gala, while pregnant, Kim wore a Givenchy floral print dress to accentuate her baby bump. Despite her intentions, the print was too distracting and resulted in numerous memes. Despite this setback, Kim has continued to dominate the red carpet with her fashion choices and remains a style icon to many.
Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera’s fashion journey has been a wild ride, filled with thrills and spills. One of her fashion blunders took place at the 2001 Blockbuster Awards, where she donned a ripped velvet dress that belonged in the latter category. The dress was slashed across the center of her torso, giving way to loose shreds that cascaded down her legs.

To add to the flamboyance, she completed the look with a big wig and chunky gold jewelry, which took things to the next level of extravagance. However, Aguilera has since evolved from her midriff-baring days and now embraces a more refined, elegant style that is loved by many.
Lena Dunham
Lena Dunham is known for her bold and daring fashion choices on the red carpet, just as she is celebrated for her fearless writing. At the 2014 Emmy Awards, the ‘Girls’ creator and star made a statement in an ombre tiered gown that was hard to miss, but not in the way she had hoped.

The Giambattista Valli taffeta shirt and tulle skirt ensemble received mixed reviews, with some comparing Lena’s look to cotton candy or a piñata. Nevertheless, Dunham remained unflappable and confidently owned the controversial outfit. This wasn’t the first time Lena had sparked controversy with her fashion choices, and it surely won’t be the last.
Meghan Trainor
With her empowering music and body positivity movement, Meghan Trainor has captivated audiences worldwide. While the ‘All About That Bass’ singer typically plays it safe on the red carpet, she took a bold leap at the 2019 Grammy Awards in a daring Christian Siriano jumpsuit.

The custom-made white ensemble had the potential to be super chic, but unfortunately, it appeared a bit snug on the voluptuous star. The stiff shoulders also failed to flatter her figure. Nonetheless, Trainor radiated confidence and beauty, perhaps due to the glittering accents on her outfit or the fact that she had the best accessory imaginable—her husband, Daryl Sabara.
Faith Hill
Faith Hill never shies away from making a statement on the red carpet, but her unique Versace gown at the 74th Academy Awards left many scratching their heads in confusion rather than awe.

The multi-colored pastel gown with feather details resembled a mermaid costume rather than a chic ensemble, failing to flatter the stunning star in any way. Sometimes less is more, and this outfit proved that sticking to one hue can be the better choice. Unfortunately, this fashion risk didn’t pay off for the country singer. Nonetheless, Hill’s courage to take risks on the red carpet is admirable, even when it doesn’t quite hit the mark.
