The Weirdest Celebrity Red Carpet Fashion Of All Time

For every avant-garde, Comme des Garcons look Rihanna has slayed, there’s a celeb who feels confident enough to wear a Canadian tuxedo. Like, even on the red carpet. And sometimes, those overconfident stars even come in pairs. (Yes, I’m talking about you, 2001 Britney and Justin.

) Whether facing paparazzi while their stylist was on vacation, or just daring to try something new, these stars made headlines. But they made headlines for all of the wrong reasons.

So take a break from wondering, “What were they thinking?” And, instead, enjoy this ultimate collection of the wildest, weird red carpet outfits we’ve ever seen.

Ellie Goulding

Ellie Goulding must have stopped by the 2018 BRIT Awards on her way to an ’80s-themed business meeting because that’s the only situation that would explain the singer’s ENORMOUS shoulder pads.

Accented by a plunging neckline and sleek black heels, the 31-year-old singer did manage to make a statement with her attire–that there is definitely a reason why shoulder pads went out of style. Note to Goulding–not all fashion is cyclical.

Jaden Smith

While Jaden Smith is definitely “just an icon living,” his status as a trendsetting tastemaker definitely took a hit after the 2018 Grammy Awards.

While we’re definitely digging the wraparound chain, the multi-pattern patched jeans leave much to be desired.

However, this is the same young celeb that wore a dress to the prom–what did we expect?

Katy Perry and Riff Raff

With a nod to Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake’s 2001 American Music Awards denim disaster, Katy Perry and rapper Riff Raff teamed up to serve this serious statement at the 2014 Video Music Awards.

While Riff Raff sported dreads instead of a denim hat, Perry rounded out the look with a bedazzled bag similar to Spears’ accessory. The Canadian tuxedo was simply a look so nice, it had to be done twice.

CeeLo Green

The bizarre gold outfit that singer CeeLo Green sported at the 2017 Grammy Awards was the ensemble that sparked a thousand memes.

With a metallic gold dress accented by matching face paint, Green managed to wow A-list onlookers and forever secure his place in red carpet history. Tbh, we totally wish we could say “Forget You” to this fashion disaster.
