9. Cardi B
The Human Pearl.
Cardi B loves a spectacle. She dug into the archives for a 1995 vintage Thierry Mugler dress that made her look like a pearl inside a clam shell.
The skirt fanned out dramatically, making it nearly impossible to walk, but the visual impact was insane. It was more of a costume than a dress, bringing high-fashion theater to the red carpet.
10. Sarah Jessica Parker
Setting the Carpet on Fire. SJP is known for her bold headpieces, but in 2015 she went one step too far. Her massive, flame-like headgear overshadowed the dress completely.
The internet exploded with memes comparing her to heat miser characters and fire emojis. It was a bold artistic statement, but perhaps a bit too avant-garde for the Oscars.
11. Blac Chyna
The Surprise Guest.
No one expected to see reality star Blac Chyna at the Oscars in 2020, and her outfit ensured no one would forget it. She wore a black velvet gown with a slit so high and a neckline so low that a wardrobe malfunction seemed inevitable with every step.
With 80s-style fringed epaulets and a lot of exposed skin, many critics labeled the look “tacky” and inappropriate for the prestige of the event.
12. Geena Davis
The Ultimate Throwback Fail. We can’t talk about Oscar fashion without mentioning this 1992 disaster. Geena Davis wore a white ruffled mini-dress with a long back train that looked like a cheap saloon girl costume. Paired with black tights and satin gloves, it remains one of the most confusing outfit choices in Academy Award history. What was she thinking?
