Worst Oscar styles EVER: Cher, 1986

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Red Carpet Trends




Cher and Bob Mackie are a match made in kooky, crazy, red carpet fashion fashion heaven. Or hell. It's a toss-up. But that's nothing new -- she has sported a number of, well, unusual ensembles to awards shows over the years.

At the 1986 Academy Awards, Cher showed up in full glory sporting this costume (I call it a costume because how many gowns come with a crazy headdress like this? And is that a cape?).

Other than the obvious first question, which would be a startled "What the ...?" the next question has to be, "How is that skirt staying up?" But you have to hand it to her -- she looks totally composed while wearing it, a feat I'm sure most women would not be able to pull off, no matter how phenomenal her acting chops might be.



Worst Oscar styles EVER: Melanie Griffith, 2005

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Red Carpet Trends




In 2005, Melanie Griffith was confused. She thought she was going to a Golden Girls: Thank You For Being a Friend Reunion audition (she wanted to play the part of Blanch Devereaux's feisty sister). However, it turned out she was actually on her way to the Academy Awards. Whoops!

If you're thinking the dress isn't so bad, you know, once you get past the ridiculous sequined paisley print, look closer. Melanie isn't showing skin -- that's nude colored fabric, like ice skaters have on their costumes so they don't flash naughty bits while doing a camel spin. To my knowledge, she wasn't doing any sort of ice skating moves, so she gets no points from the judges. This one is a ZERO.

Her date, however, he rates a bit higher ... HELLO, Antonio Banderas. I mean, really, even he knows it's bad -- look at his face!



Worst Oscar styles EVER: Bjork, 2001

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Red Carpet Trends




You know, I almost didn't include Bjork's infamous Swan Dress from the 2001 Academy Awards on this list of worst Oscar styles ever, and I'm sure you want to know why. It's not because I think wearing swans around our necks is the new hot thing -- however, we are talking about Bjork (have you listened to her music? She's not exactly one to follow the crowd), and to be honest, I'd be totally disappointed if she showed up in a chic, sophisticated black gown.

Plus, she donated the dress to be auctioned off to benefit Oxfam, so I feel like that somewhat exonerates her from the fashion crime. That being said, it was still a swan, not a real dress. It makes me curious to know what she'll wear every time she hits the red carpet, though!



PETA's worst dressed celebrities

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Celebrities with Style

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) just announced its picks for the worst dressed celebrities of 2006. This annual list targets prominent celebrities who choose to wear animal furs.

Topping this year's list is Nicole Richie, followed by Ashley Olsen, Christina Ricci and Eva Longoria. (Who called Eva Longoria with her reprehensible yeti jacket?)

But why isn't Kate Moss on this list? Hasn't she become the animal rights movement's punching bag du jour over the past few weeks?

So much for no surprises...
