For the Oscars every year, actors and actresses travel to Hollywood from all around the world for a little recognition from The Academy. Last year, we got a steamy performance from Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, an insane amount of sexy dresses, and, of course, the drama that led to the awards having no host for the first time since 1989. There was plenty to love, but there were also a few unforgettable looks on the red carpet, and I don't mean that in a good way. I get it, picking a gown for Hollywood's biggest night can be hit or miss, but these gowns from past years' Oscars were definite misses. (They also made me really love my three-year-old-sweatpants I watched the Oscars in.)
Lady Gaga
The highlight of the 2015 red carpet was definitely Lady Gaga's red gloves, which spawned plenty of memes. My favorite? The Lady Gaga "cleaning starter pack."
Bjork
Icelandic artist Bjork's swan dress is probably the most iconic on the list of worst dressed. The look was designed by Macedonian designer Marjan Pejoski, who actually made two copies of it as it could not be dry cleaned. One was auctioned off for $9,500 in 2005 (!!) and Valentino even paid tribute to this swan ensemble in its spring 2014 couture fashion show.
Kate Hudson
The actress looked unrecognizable (and not in a good way) at the 2001 event, when she stepped out in this gray dress with a fringe neck shawl. I prefer to remember her in this 2014 Atelier Versace look instead.
Lizzy Gardiner
Costume designer Lizzy Gardiner wore a dress made out of gold American Express cards to the 1995 Academy Awards. The cards were real, but had expired. That year, she won an Oscar for Best Costume Design for The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, but in an ironic twist of fate, this dress landed her on worst dressed lists.
