And The Oscar For The Worst Dressed Goes To...
Oscars 2025: From couture catastrophes to DIY disasters, these fashion fails prove that style risks don’t always pay off. Sit back, and enjoy the most unforgettable (for all the wrong reasons) looks!
This list is a gentle reminder that even Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs can make mistakes—and so can you!
This list is gender-neutral and all-inclusive, which is more than we can say about the Best Director category.
From couture gone wrong to outfits that look like last-minute DIY projects, this list is a reminder that style risks don’t always pay off. The best part? We get to sit back, sip our tea, and rate these fashion fails from the comfort of our sweatpants. Only the most unforgettable (for all the wrong reasons) make the cut.
So, who turned heads for all the wrong reasons? Let’s dive in!
1. Zoe Saldaña In Saint Laurent
Sia and Zoe have one thing in common — chandelier. Whereas one is a masterpiece, the other would fit best in Karan Johar’s ‘Bombay Velvet’ wardrobe. The draping looks less like high fashion and more like it was borrowed from an old Victorian lampshade.

2. Timothée Chalamet In Givenchy
This is what happens when you let your 5-year-old dress themselves. Apart from the jaundice-coloured 'allover' disaster, nothing is wrong with the look. The outfit screams "Minion but make it couture".

3. Cynthia Erivo In Louis Vuitton
Dracula collar met a bow and a Cinderella skirt. Did three different people make this outfit in three different shifts?

4. Kim Kardashian in Balenciaga
Bedsheet. Crumpled bedsheet. Tissue-paper DIY gown on a budget. That’s it.
Effortless or zero effort?

5. Sarah Paulson In Marc Jacobs
After bedsheets, we have pillows. Or they are balloons? Just when we thought this look couldn’t get worse — wait till you see the back.

6. Julia Fox In Dilara Findikoglu
Hair stuck in a shower drain. A chaotic mix of gothic couture and a DIY horror movie costume.

7. Bowen Yang In Etro
An embroidered leather jacket should have been left in the countryside — unless, of course, the goal was to look like a cowboy attending Milan Fashion Week.

8. Danielle Deadwyler In Louis Vuitton
Chinese lantern. Halloween is in October, right? Did she mix up the dates?
LV should consider hiring someone who knows the difference between Met Gala themes and Oscars elegance.

9. Jeff Goldblum In Prada
The print, combined with the ill-fitted cut, gives “grandpa’s couch” realness. Jeff’s natural charm almost saves it, but someone, please, get him a stylist.
