Now that the Met Gala is behind us, it is the perfect moment to reminisce about some of the most controversial and havoc-causing attire worn by celebrities representing the fashion world.
From Alicia Keys to Blake Lively, some celebrities win the hearts of the public while others leave the public questioning whether the outfit was actually a mistake. The fashion industry has rapidly changed in the past few decades, bringing about strange trends that must have been unthinkable in the past. It is evident throughout history that celebrities have made various hideous fashion choices that remain in the public eye for decades. But are these fashion blunders really blunders or simply indicative of an upcoming, acceptable trend?
Fashion blunders on the list
So let us look at a few examples of bizarre fashion outfits that have entered into the worst picks of all times:
In 1986, Cher, the queen of theatrics, graced the red carpet in Bob Markie's black sequined gown outfitted with a heavily feathered headpiece that was a major disaster. The outfit was not only talked about for years, but it served as her defiant response to the academy for not nominating her for her role in the Mask.
When Green Davis had opted to wear her white ruffled skirt and bustier blouse to the 1992 Oscars, she might have thought confused some of her kid's costume party look. Her worst-dressed listing that year didn't stop her from receiving acclaim for her role in Thelma and Louise.
One of the most abominable choices for the 1993 Academy Awards was Whoopi Goldberg's purple satin suit dress with lime green lining underneath and brocade trousers.
Celine Dion might be a fashion phenomenon today, but her earlier outfits had put her on the worst dressed celebrities list. At the 1999 Oscars, Celine appeared on the red carpet wearing a white suit with a backward blazer and straight pants designed by John Galliano. In the midst of the event's traditional glamor and shimmer, the outfit was an incredible failure. However, her diamond-studded glasses and beautiful smile still managed to draw a few eyes.
For the 2001 Oscars, Bjork wore a feathered frock dress with a swan head wrapped around her neck like a scarf paired with an egg-shaped purse designed by Marjan Pejoski. The moment is considered iconic in pop culture if not one of the best dressed.
Though she was targeted by the internet trolls for her Avante-Garde silver gown and messy updo in the 2019 Met Gala look, Priyanka Chopra stuck to the theme and her exceptional style makes news to this day
Katy Perry appeared in a chandelier outfit at the 2019 Met Gala. Combined with a silver jeweled dress, her outfit featured three layers of candles with one on her head weighing 40 pounds. A met gala can never have enough chandeliers, can it?
As a first-time attendee of the Met Gala in 2022, Kourtney's outfit choice may have put her place in question. Besides looking like something out of her office wardrobe with a ripped shirt and an unfinished skirt, her outfit didn't match the theme either. Kourtney admits she "didn't really think about" this outfit, which casts doubt on her status as a representative of the fashion industry.
Villa attended the 2015 Grammys wearing an orange plastic mesh fencing gown with holes as the very nature of the plastic mesh. The minimalistic look was completed with nipple pasties and lacy pink panties. Although her outfit was considered unflattering and cheap, she may have gained popularity by appearing in later fashion blogs.
Lizzy Gardiner made wearing a gold credit card dress at the 1995 Academy Awards into a fashion faux pas when she asked American Express to send her expired credit cards. A whole new level of "too expensive" was achieved by her. The dress has since become an instant classic with its own Wikipedia page.
Blunders from the past, trends for the future
These weirdly designed outfits may have raised a few eyebrows, but they turned out to be some of the most iconic moments in fashion history. Risking everything on a red carpet is what inspires the fashion industry to explore ideas and creativity in fashion. It is no secret that weird fashion trends have become one of the most loved and widely accepted trends. From ripped stalking to multicolored boots, anyone can wear these strange fashion trends now. We all know that being too cautious won't allow you to grow, and the same holds true for the fashion industry
