We love drooling over the gorgeous dresses worn on the red carpet at The Academy Awards every year. But what happens if you get it REALLY wrong? These are some of the worst dresses ever worn to the Oscars.
Kerry Washington 2016
What on earth is going on here? We are definitely not fans of Kerry’s Atelier Versace dress!

Uma Thurman 2004
We’re not sure about this unusual Christian Lacroix dress Uma wore back in 2004. It looks like an ill-fitting bridal gown with bizarre waistcoat worn over it.

Lizzy Gardiner 1995
Oscar-winning costume designer Lizzy Gardiner decided to wear her own design in 1995 – made from actual American Express cards! We wonder if she was trying to match the colour of her Oscar – if she was, she definitely succeeded!

Geena Davis 1992
This dress just can’t decide what it wants to be! Is it a long dress or a short one? Either way, we’re not a fan!

Celine Dion 1999
Err… what? We wonder just what Celine Dion was thinking when she put on this backwards Christian Dior suit. You know it’s on the wrong way round, right?

Renee Zellweger 1999
This dress Renee Zellweger wore on the red carpet in 1999 really is horrible! The neckline, the train, and the weird embroidery framing her bust is all a bit too much for one dress!

Hilary Swank 2000
This Randolph Duke dress looks more like something you would see on a bridesmaid than an Oscar winner!

Bjork 2001
Bjork definitely turned some heads in 2001 when she wore this strange swan dress by Marjan Pejoski. We’ll say one thing, it’s certainly memorable!

Kate Hudson 2001
We just can’t understand why the normally glamorous Kate Husdon decided to wear this Stella McCartney dress in 2001. Maybe her stylist had the day off?

Jennifer Connelly 2002
Why did Jennifer need a scarf on the red carpet?! We have no words.

Gwyneth Paltrow 2002
This McQueen dress wouldn’t have been quite as horrific if Gwyneth had worn a bra, but it still wouldn’t have been Oscar worthy!

Hilary Swank 2003
This Dior dress doesn’t suit Hilary Swank in the slightest. It looks like she’s ready for her prom, not the Oscars!

Liza Minnelli 2014
This Halston dress was a bad decision for Liza. The cut doesn’t suit her, the colour is LOUD, and it’s SO shiny. Better luck next time!

Cher 1998
It’s not really the dress we have a problem with here. Whilst it’s not great, it’s the head gear that’s causing the real offence. No Cher, NO!

Diane Keaton 2004
We still don’t understand why Diane Keaton went to the awards in 2004 dressed as Charlie Chaplin.
