Now that we're in the last quarter of this year (how is 2014 almost over already?), we can't pass up the opportunity of listing down some of the worst dresses and worst-dressed celebrities who did not know any better and went under the scrutiny of us discriminating public because of their cringe-worthy frocks and inappropriate styling.
Some are veterans to the red carpet, others are novices who tried their hand at becoming fashion-forward but failed miserably. So who made it to our 2014 Worst Dressed Celebrities?
1. Pixie Lott
Pixie Lott leaving Freedom club in Soho, after her performance in London on July 31, 2014First up is British singer Pixie Lott in a gag-inducing, saccharine pink "dress". We don't even know if this costume can be labelled as a dress. But what's really offensive about it is that glittery heart detail that drew attention to the singer's nether region. Tacky!
2. Suki Waterhouse
Suki Waterhouse at the 'Love, Rosie' world premiere held in Leicester Square - Arrivals in London on October 6, 2014Leather, metallic and leopard-printed fur in one outfit? No. Just no!
3. Shailene Woodley
Shailene Woodley and Kirsten Dunst at the 'Charles James: Beyond Fashion' Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on May 5, 2014We can't stop staring at this dress for bad reasons. The gravel-like bodice, the ugly inverted V at the middle and the matronly brown sheer details - Shailene Woodley looked like she's been dressed by a bunch of die-hard Abnegation!
4. Lena Dunham
Lena Dunham at the 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards held at The Beverly Hilton Hotel - Red Carpet Arrivals in Los Angeles on January 12, 2014We're always up for bright outfits but this mermaid-inspired dress just fell flat. The dress didn't do anything to flatter Lena's voluptuous figure. But we guess this is a far better sight than her previous tiered look which is probably better suited to someone half her age:
66th Primetime Emmy Awards at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live - Arrivals in Los Angeles on August 25, 2014On the other hand, Lena Dunham has hired herself a stylist for her book tour: Nasty Gal's Sophia Amoruso! We're hoping the high street brand founder keeps her away from every worst-dressed list on the internet.
5. Katie Holmes
Katie Holmes at the 'Charles James: Beyond Fashion' Costume Institute Gala in New York on May 5, 2014Katie Holmes looked like she came from a Beauty and the Beast stage play and had a few drinks with friends before heading straight to this fashion event! The dress is an eyesore and her hair can stand a bit of combing.
6. Amber Rose
Amber Rose at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards at the Forum in California on August 24, 2014We get it, the MTV VMAs pushes the boundaries of fashion. But did Amber Rose have to leave her clothes behind in favor of this chain ensemble?
7. Mayim Bialik
Mayim Bialik at The 20th Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards held at The Shine Auditorium - Arrivals in California on January 18, 2014We can't decide which part of this dress is more offensive - the unflattering shape or the overwhelming lavender silk skirt? Looks like Mayim Bialik is equally confused.
8. Rose Leslie
Rose Leslie at The 20th Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards held at The Shrine Auditorium - Arrivals in California on January 18, 2014Never, under any circumstances, don leopard print and lace. Rose Leslie learned that the hard way!
9. Rosario Dawson
Rosario Dawson at Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2015 - amfAR Charity Gala - Arrivals in Italy on September 20, 2014We have trouble figuring out that circular contraption on Rosario Dawson's lace top. It looks like a giant dispenser, spewing out pleated fabric.
10. Caroline Flack
Caroline Flack at the Glamour Women of the Year 2014 Awards held at Berkeley Square Gardens - Arrivals in London on June 3, 2014It's hard to get the LBD look wrong. But when you do, it means it's really, really bad. Caroline Flack missed the point of the LBD with this horrendous dress with an ill-fitting skirt and a tacky ruffled detailing.
11. Solange Knowles
Solange Knowles at the 'Charles James: Beyond Fashion' Costume Institute Gala held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on May 5, 2014Solange Knowles usually gets it right so it's a surprise when she came to a fashion event wearing this awful thing. The bubble skirt looks poorly-made. She could also use some fitting around the waist area.
12. Rita Ora
DKNY Celebrates The Launch of the New DKNY MYNY Fragrance with Rita Ora in Manhattan on August 19, 2014Should we even explain why Rita Ora's neck-to-toe metallic ensemble made it to this list? This outfit made us crave for a burrito though.
13. Julianne Moore
Julianne Moore at the Film Premiere Non Stop in Los Angeles on February 25, 2014The red carpet veteran is usually on-point but this one is an exception. It would actually look better if the waist area was a little more nipped-in and the designer did away with the shoulder draping.
14. Maggie Grace
Maggie Grace at the Global Green USA's 11th Annual Pre-Oscar Party at Avalon in Hollywood on February 26, 2014This is a classic example of how NOT to wear a slip dress! Maggie Grace looked like she rolled out of bed and straight to the Pre-Oscar party.
15. Kate Bosworth
Kate Bosworth at The Art of Elysium's 7th Annual HEAVEN Gala presented by Mercedes-Benz at Guerin Pavilion at the Skirball Cultural Center - Arrivals in Los Angeles on January 11, 2014This dress looks like it took inspiration from mermaid fashion. The fin-like detailing at the top and the ruching at the bottom destroyed an otherwise stellar dress. Kate Bosworth could do better!
Do you guys agree with our picks? Which one is the worst offender?
