Celebrities tried all sorts of daring looks for the red carpet this year, and unfortunately, not all of them nailed it!
From sky-high slits and see-through gowns, to puzzling textures and unflattering silhouettes, these are some of the more controversial star ensembles we saw in 2016.

Demi Lovato at the Met Gala
Her custom Moschino gown certainly caught our attention, but for all the wrong reasons.

Alicia Vikander at the Met Gala
Oscar-winning actress Alicia shows there are some things even she can’t pull off! The eclectic combination of textures and patterns in this Louis Vuitton gown don’t combine together as well as they should.

Taylor Swift at the Met Gala
Taylor Swift switched up her country sweetheart image to don an edgy, punk rock-inspired getup at the 2016 Met Gala. Unfortunately, we’re not sure it’s her best look.

Christina Hendricks at the Screen Actors Guild Awards
The Mad Men star has a fabulous figure, but this voluminous gown does nothing to showcase it.

Marion Cotillard at the Cannes Film Festival
The French actress is known for her bold sartorial choices, but we’re afraid this one leaves us cold.

*Lady Gaga at the Met Gala
The ‘Million Reasons’ singer went for a bedazzled, rocker-chic look at the Met Gala, but the clunky platform boots and fishnet tights aren’t doing her any favours.

Chrissy Teigen at the American Music Awards
Chrissy’s never afraid to take a fashion risk, as she proved during the 2016 American Music Awards when she turned up in this daring black number!

Zoe Kravitz at the Met Gala
Dressed head-to-toe in black, complete with an giant bow on her back, the star failed to wow on the red carpet.

Britney Spears at the Billboard Music Awards
Britney’s looking trim, toned and fabulous but this see-through black lace number isn’t the most flattering for the popstar.

Keke Palmer at the American Music Awards
While Keke’s giving this her best dose of attitude, the ensemble is a little too reminiscent of Rihanna’s shimmering see-through Adam Selman dress at the 2014 CFDA Awards – and that’s a tough act to follow!

Anna Chlumsky at the Emmys
Veep star Anna’s bizarre sack-like dress with trailing cape wasn’t the most flattering fit.

Heidi Klum at the Oscars
At the 2016 Oscars, Heidi Klum looked like she’d just stepped off the pages of an old fairytale (and not in a good way) with this fussy Marchesa gown.
