The Oscars: The Most Shocking Looks Ever

The big red carpet of the year

The Oscars are the most followed gala in show business and the red carpet where the most eyes are, without a doubt. While waiting to see who gets the statuette, the one about how the most glittering stars of Hollywood will be dressed. Fashion firms know it and take advantage of that night to create the most exclusive and impressive models to show off in this magnificent showcase, with greater or lesser success. Or with a LOT of success, like Lupita Nyong'o with her 2014 Prada that made us dream so much …

Looks etched by fire (for better or for worse …)

There are times when the excess of originality can lead to the most absolute failure and others when a poorly chosen hairstyle or a poorly calculated neckline can make you the failure of the gala. Then there are the looks with the eccentricity as a flag that go viral , like that of Billy Porter, protagonist of the series 'Pose', who made history in the quintessential seventh art gala by breaking the lines of the genre with HIS tux / dress velvet. We have made a review of looks and moments of the galas of previous years and we have brought you some of the worst looks that are remembered but also moments of the most fashion.

Divine, but rugged …

The 2013 Oscars will always be unforgettable for Jennifer Lawrence, and the whole world. Her great Dior dress, one of the most expensive in the history of the Oscars, played a trick on her when she went to pick up the statuette, tripping on the stairs because of the bulky skirt. We love it and we can't help but applaud her for putting a bit of drama and a lot of glamor to that edition of the awards.

Speechless

Unfortunate is little to describe the model that Geena Davis donned for the 1992 gala … Only comparable to that of a contemporary of hers …

Diana of memes

Every year there is a dress that goes viral because of the memes that multiply in the networks, like this Louis Vuitton with futuristic winks by Emma Stone that reminded many of them … of a waffle!

Horrifying

… And it is that Demi Moore was not left behind with the model that was designed for the 1989 gala, a stylistic misdeed that we can only forgive because they were other times … If even Bruce Willis had hair!

Avant-garde touch

Striking sweetheart neckline and elephant leg pants with overskirt signed by Brandon Maxwell. Lady Gaga will go down in history for this look with avant-garde nods but refined lines.

A 'doll'

Nicole Kidman's electric blue dress in 2018 was very elegant and striking, especially because of its large bow, but it was so tight that it caused her some problem when moving around the red carpet.

Sublime elegance

Less is more and no matter how old you are. Jane Fonda proved it in 2018 with this clean-lined design. Spectacular!

The worst ever

Singer Björk has the dubious honor of having worn the worst costume ever remembered at an Oscars gala. It was during the 2001 edition and it was a transparent flesh-colored mesh in which a white feathered swan was wrapped as a dress. The design signed by Marjan Pejoski also appeared on the cover of the album "Vespertine" by the Icelandic singer.

Immune to cold … and to shame ..

This dress? It is another of those that has been etched in our retinas. In 1986, to collect her Oscar for Hechizo de Luna , Cher donned a light cape of tulle with strategic rhinestones signed by Bob Mackie, also the perpetrator of the model with a feather plume and even more concise that she wore two years earlier.

Horror in green

In 2004, Scarlett Johansson, just 20 years old, did not know how to take advantage of her physique. You just have to see the unfortunate model she chose for the Oscars gala, an Alberta Ferretti that suited her like a shot …

Hit in green

… However a few years later he went back to bet on the same color with a totally different result. This Versace that he wore in 2015 fit him like a glove. Spectacular!

Bullfighter cape

It is the feeling that gives us the horrifying dress that the beautiful Kate Winslet wore at the 1996 gala, when she was nominated for best supporting actress for her participation in Sense and Sensitivity .

For the history

It's only been a year since Dakota Johnson was presented in this guise, by Gucci's grace, at the Oscars gala, but we predict a promising future for the model as one of the ugliest looks in all history.

Festival in the Alps

In 2004, Uma Thurman chose this Christian Lacroix model to appear at the Oscars gala, more like a regional costume than a red carpet model. Total disaster!

Shy

The voluptuous Latin actress has us accustomed to the most suggestive dresses. For this reason, The Marchesa that Jennifer López wore in 2007 with an empire style nightgown cut with that kind of Christmas garlands on the neckline left us totally dislodged …

Without shame

… You only have to look at the Chanel model that she wore in 2001 to see the change we mean.

Very weird

Kate Hudson took a risk and was wrong with this model signed by Stella McCartney for Chloe, who had a cut too strange to sit well with anyone. There are designs that are better left on the catwalk.

In the bones

In this spectacular beaded dress by Carolina Herrera, Renée Zellweger appeared at the 2008 Oscars Gala, but her extreme thinness overshadowed any charm her look might have. We prefer her over Bridget Jones!

Angelina Jolie, very demure

For the 2001 Oscars gala, the actress opted for a most bland white suit jacket signed by Dolce & Gabanna, with which she went completely unnoticed … Nothing to do with what happened a few years later …

The posed that made history

There is a before and after Angelina Jolie's appearance at the 2012 Oscars with this Versace. The opening to the groin that revealed the actress's entire leg has created a school and there have been many who have signed up for this fashion in a photocall.

In smaller cloths

In 2015 actor and gala host Neil Patrick Harris appeared on stage in his boxer shorts to parody the movie "Birdman." One of the moments of this gala that, without a doubt, has remained etched in our retina.

Bigwig

Although we are not fascinated by the Versace that the Latin actress wore in 2002, what truly horrifies us is her hairstyle, exaggerated and not very flattering.

Invisible

Another actress who has become a style icon, but who in the beginning no one would have said … Cate Blanchet appeared so bland at the 1999 gala.

Not very successful

In 2005 the actress already knew how to make her presence known by choosing prestigious firms such as Valentino. Although the improvement is considerable, we believe that the yellow color does not favor the pale actress, nor does the blue makeup or the artificial hairstyle.

Cameron Diaz's cleavage

In 2000, the actress of Something about Mary was far from the glamorous look of a consecrated star and she appeared at the awards ceremony in this dress with a generous neckline.

Still to do

Just two years earlier, on her first nomination, Jennifer was light years away from the glamorous image of when she picked up her statuette. Although the red Calvin Klein dress, combined with the loose and natural hairstyle, suits her wonderfully, it does not convey that image of a Hollywood diva to which the actress is currently accustomed.

Pythoness

Two years later, Cameron Díaz opted for this model more appropriate to read good fortune than to attend an Oscars gala. It was a model of Emanuel Ungaro, of oriental inspiration, who still did not favor anything to the actress.

Give the note

This guest at the Oscars must have thought: "I'm neither young nor pretty but I want my time on the red carpet to be remembered forever …" Mission accomplished!

Overdressed

Gabrielle Anwar appeared at the 2000 Oscars in this dress, more appropriate for a country party than one of the most important events in Hollywood. We still don't understand what the designer was thinking by putting those little flowers on the actress's tailbone.

Fateful push up

The actress, a fashion icon for her role in Sex and the City , had it all to succeed at the 2009 gala when she presented herself in this spectacular Dior Haute Couture dress. But Sarah Jessica Parker went over the neckline and elegance gave way to vulgarity.

Perfect

Our most international actress chose this stunning Versace for her first Oscar nomination in 2007. Radiant!

A vintage to remember

Penelope Cruz picked up her statuette in 2009 with this spectacular dress. A creation by Pierre Balmain that is more than 60 years old and that the actress already had in her closet to be released on a special occasion. It certainly was!

Reverse

Someone had to have warned Celine Dion that she had worn her jacket backwards the day she appeared in this guise at the 1999 gala. A Dior-designed extravaganza that doesn't convince us at all. Especially after seeing the wonderful dresses of the firm that have walked the red carpet …

True to style

We could name Diane Keaton the forerunner of Genderless, the latest fashion in clothing that bets on genderless fashion, which can be worn by men and women interchangeably. In 2004 she did not hesitate to appear at the gala with this gentlemen look signed by Ralph Lauren, which she defended with her particular style.

Parody

The creators of the irreverent series South Park did not cut a hair when it came to provoking off-screen as well with their parody of two iconic looks, the pink of Gwyneth Paltrow and the green of Jennifer Lopez.

Speaking of the king of Rome …

Here we can see the "plagiarized" model. A great Ralph Lauren dress with which Gwyneth picked up her statuette. The actress was radiant and happy.

Winner Red

Red is a color that can elevate your look or vulgarize it to the extreme. Nicole Kidman, with this Balenciaga, achieved an absolute triumph at the 2007 gala.

Loser red

In this case, the red is one more addition to Renée Zelweger's dress disaster … Imagine it in black, it would still have had a pass …

The cheesiest

Not even she had them all with her. Just look at the forced smile of Anne Hathaway posing in this Valentino dress in 2007.

Where the back loses its name …

Hilary Swank took her neckline there with this impressive dress by Pierre Cardin, which she wore at the Oscars 2005. It was the most talked about model of the year!

Where I said I say …

Five years later, the actress again opted for a dizzying opening, but this time she changed her neckline and moved it to the front with this Giorgio Armani Privé model.

Unforgettable

In 2001, everyone was sure that America's bride would get the statuette, what was not so clear is how she would be dressed and if her look would be appropriate after several stylistic blunders. He passed the exam with flying colors when he was presented with this wonderful vintage Valentino.

Silver mermaid

The South African actress Charlize Theron has a spectacular physique, and with this Gucci designed by Tom Ford, which she wore in 2004, she became the absolute protagonist of that year's Gala.

The first leading oscar for an actress of color

It was the most emotional moment of the 2002 gala, Halle Berry was shedding tears as she picked up her statuette, clad in this provocative dress signed by Elie Saab, we love it!

Worst dressed

Meryl Streep is the actress who has been nominated the most times … and the one who has appeared the most times among the worst dressed. For example, the model of 1983. Catastrophic!

Prodigy girl

Anna Paquin was only 11 years old when she won her statuette for The Piano , in 1993. The New Zealand actress picked it up with a laugh and sat down with her parents again, leaving all the photographers waiting for her in the press room to stand up. the official photo of the winners.
