Lindsey Vonn and Salma Hayek top the list of worst-dressed stars at the Oscars

[FarCenter]

Oh dear: Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn topped the list of worst dressed stars at this year's Academy Awards

Shiny disaster: Salma Hayek's dress was baffling to behold, with the combination of sequins, layered ruffles and military-inspired neck embellishments serving as more of an eye sore than a style statement

OTT: Actress Blanca Blanco also hit a low note with her red-and-white dress, which flashed far too much flesh thanks to its tacky neckline and thigh-high split

Take a seat: Singer Andra Day, who is performing at the ceremony, wore a bizarre dress that looked more like a pair of curtains than a black tie dress, standing out for all the wrong reasons thanks to its unflattering shape

Missing something? Singer St. Vincent appeared to be missing part of her dress, and the part that was remaining served only to prompt several unanswered questions regarding the bizarre arm shape and unique hemline


Eek: Although the color of Renee Bargh's dress was incredibly flattering with her skintone, the shape of the gown, as well as its awkward lace additions gave the overall look a rather awkward finish

Inspired by Bozo? Kelly Ripa looked like she had borrowed accessories from a clown costume in order to achieve the garish bows on the back of her otherwise-elegant dress

An embellishment too far: Producer Monika Bacardi, and TV hosts Tanika Ray and Sara Haines all landed themselves on the worst-dressed list because of the over-the-top additions to their dresses, from ugly lace to ridiculous patterns

Feeling blue? Louise Roe's gown (left) looked as though it had been painted in a child's art class, while TV host Nancy O'Dell's royal blue frock hit a tacky note thanks to its too-high split and glittering embellishments

Fifty Shades of Rippon: Figure skater Adam wore what appeared to be a bondage-inpisred suit

Awkward: Actress Paz Vega swamped her figure in a too-big dress that had an incredibly garish pattern

Flashing the flesh: Lebanese actress Rita Hayek wore a multicolored gown that showed off far too much side boob

Shiny: Songwriter and singer Taura Stinson went too far with the shimmering fabric that did not photograph well

[FarCenter]

3. These would be my favorites. All the pictures are at the link in the OP.

[Skittles]

9. and women wonder why they are not taken seriously

[Freedomofspeech]

21. What?

[Skittles]

24. it's a pet peeve of mine

women who are slaves to "fashion" and who feel the need to decorate themselves like Christmas trees

[ProudLib72]

36. Holy crapola!

A Turkish chandelier and an elfin playboy bunny!

[Cha]

41. Oh Salma! You can do

so much better. lol.. I like the color!

Who's in the bottom pic.. that one looks like she could have definitely gotten a 2nd opinion.

I know this all petty and mean.. but JHC.. I needed a break from the Russian mole.

[LeftInTX]

52. Tinkerbell?

[Cha]

53. All grown up! I went to the

link later and saw them all, with their names.

TinkerbellAKA/St Vincent!

And, yes Lea Michelle did show too much skin, imo.

[Demovictory9]

49. Weird shade of pinkish lavender

[unc70]

7. At the link

[MaryMagdaline]

2. It's a bad year. Too much yardage. Waists too wide

No sleek elegance this year

[FarCenter]

4. Or yardage in the wrong place -- see second above.

[marlakay]

6. Check out Jane Fonda

All of what you said is missing and at her age! She looked great!

[MaryMagdaline]

12. She's a classic. I am watching ABC. is there a better channel?

[marlakay]

18. Same here

We cut cord have ABC on antenna

[Cha]

57. Jane Fonda in her white gown..

So true, marlakay!

[trueblue2007]

5. those dresses are horrible and the men's outfits were too.

what a terrible waste of money

[marlakay]

19. Some designer said they get them free

For showing the work.

[LeftInTX]

43. Yep!! That's why we get to see actresses wearing "weird" every year.

[Ferrets are Cool]

8. If a person likes what THEY are wearing...

who gives a FLYING FUCK what anyone else thinks. I certainly hope whoever wrote that article gets off on his or her tirade, because that is ALL its worth.

[MaryMagdaline]

16. Judging Oscar attire is an Amerucan tradition.

The fashion industry spends millions on the Oscars. They will foist upon us the fashions of the year. We have to push back and early. Right now, bustles are in my future and I am not having it.

[LeftInTX]

44. They are actually showcasing a designer

Maybe they like a designer for such and such reason, so they wear the designers clothes to the Oscar's even though they may be outlandish.

[Wwcd]

10. Rather than trashing the vip who wore it, the Designer's Name should be stated

Much of the Red Carpet attire is selected by the Designer to promote their name.

Often the vip is simply the 'model'.

However, sometimes it ok to put your foot down. Really.

[dsc]

11. Interesting that the entire list is all women

except for one gay man. I will say that many of the outfits were less than great but really, not one straight man wore an ugly outfit.

[Revanchist]

56. Maybe the reason is that 90% of the men wear a standard black tux?

It may be boring, but it won't be criticized.

[spanone]

13. Lindsey looks great

[dsc]

14. knees and above that dress is actually amazing

knees and below it went too far. Overall it doesn't deserve to be on that list.

[bullimiami]

26. Thats what I thought too. If she took a scissor to it mid thigh...

[Awsi Dooger]

47. Lindsey's dress went downhill

Below the gate

[Wwcd]

17. She is beautiful. Stunning would be descript of Ms Vonn also.

Who wrote this biased, rude & vile article anyway?

This author needs a couple slaps up side the head.
Its Hollywood ffs.

[mcar]

29. From mid thigh up, yes

The bottom part is a hot mess.

[SharonClark]

45. She looks like a dance hall madame.

[NBachers]

54. If she lost that ridiculous feather thing, it would be a knockout.

[GoCubsGo]

15. I liked Whoopi's dress. Sue me.

Ditto for Adam Rippon's "bondage" suit. His shoes, OTOH...

Nothing wrong with the way Viola Davis' dress fit her, either.

I never even heard of 2/3 of those other people.

[Ilsa]

27. I don't like the fabric.

It reminds me too much of bedspread fabric or some other decorator fabric for a bedroom. I wish it had been a solid color, maybe color-shifting with the weave.

[GoCubsGo]

34. It reminded me of Mardi Gras.

Yeah. It would have been nicer if it were solid, but I didn't really mind the pattern.

[LeftInTX]

42. It did not look good on her

It might have looked good on someone else, but Whoopi and her dress have a big disconnect!

[jmowreader]

58. When did hoop skirts make a comeback?

[pansypoo53219]

61. plain teal or just purple & teal better. but it looks good.

[IADEMO2004]

20. "How Is This Still A Thing?" John Oliver nt

[meadowlander]

25. +1

It's even worse than Miss America swimsuit. Those women actually signed up to be judged like slabs of meat.

[lunasun]

22. Good thing the set designs are so stunning this year or the whole thing would be an eyesore imo

[Bradshaw3]

23. Salma Hayek could wear a burlap sack and still be beautiful

That said, who cares about this in 2018?

[RestoreAmerica2020]

38. She is stunningly beautiful. Was going to say shed look good in a flour sack

...there are always critics... I just tuned into oscar, watch Hayek with two other women, the photo of her dress doesnt reflect it's design and colour .it's is absolutely ravishing.. Hayek exudes pasion, alma y corazon..always enjoy her movies, acting or directing or both. She is a very gifted and talented individual.

[Bradshaw3]

40. Yes, as talented as she is beautiful

[UTUSN]

28. I don't know why we're talking about what clothes women wear but here's my Allison:

At the BAFTAs, at the Independent Spirits, and *TONIGHT* - hope I'm not jinxing her, or being a stalker!1 I didn't like The JETSONs outfit. And Salma looks fantastic, side bar.

*TONIGHT: *

[mcar]

30. She is darn near perfect in that red!

[UTUSN]

31. Thanks, at least I don't feel like the (only) stalker!1

[mcar]

32. I've loved her since The West Wing!

[UTUSN]

33. I never watched that, didn't know who she was until 2 months ago (Mom)

[mcar]

35. It's a great show

A good binge watch and a reminder of what we could be.

[FSogol]

37. Ridiculous. Salma Hayek and her dress are beautiful. N/t

[LisaL]

39. And looking at some other dresses, no way would I think Salma's was the worst.

[Archae]

46. And the winner in the "Way too much showing" category...

Blanca Blanco, and her "boobs a'plenty" outfit.

[Demovictory9]

48. Curtains from jc penneysin the 1970s

[Demovictory9]

50. A better pink

[WillowTree]

51. Gawd, I must be old!

I miss the days when the dresses were beautiful and elegant. Now too many of them are just looking to see who can be the most outrageous and others seem to just want to provoke commentary, regardless of whether it's positive or negative.

I did like Whoppie's and Viola Davis's dresses, though. Both, IMO, were flattering, elegant and tasteful.

[LisaM]

55. They must have missed Emily Blunt in a nightgown.

And that male presenter in the velvet jacket that was too short and just too small on him.

Those dresses with the sheer panels have to look better in person than they do on-screen.

[Blue_Adept]

67. Emily Blunt's outfit, for those curious

[jmowreader]

59. The only dress I found really objectionable was Monica Lewinsky's

First, what in hell business does Monica Lewinsky have at the Oscars?

And second, is her showing up in a blue dress some kind of sick joke?

[Cha]

60. Meryl Streep in her Red Gown..

http://www.justjared.com/2018/03/04/meryl-streep-rocks-a-red-dress-on-oscars-2018-red-carpet/

[betsuni]

62. That's my favorite -- she really stood out in the audience and extremely flattering.

[Cha]

63. She's so beautiful and talented,

.. and brilliant!

I saw the clip where Frances McDormand had the women stand up.. asking Meryl to be first, 'cause then everybody else would. lol That's what got me started.

[ProfessorGAC]

64. Best Actress In My Lifetime, By A Light Year

And, i'm 61 so i didn't start watching movies last year. She's just fantastic in every way.

[justgamma]

65. Why is Monica

Lewinsky at the Oscars? Is she in the business?

[montana_hazeleyes]

66. I looked at all the pictures and Monica was described

as "An Advocate". Of what I haven't the foggiest idea!
