LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The Academy Awards are intended to honor the best motion pictures that were released in the previous year, but they also give Hollywood's most prominent personalities a chance to flaunt their finest appearances. And while some stunned on the red carpet this evening in gorgeous gowns and dapper suits, others totally missed the mark, showing up in odd outfits and strange outfit choices that led to vicious online trolling.

It's time to rank the worst red carpet outfits from the 2023 Academy Awards. We naturally praised the elegant victories displayed at the 95th Academy Awards in the atmosphere of award season. But now it's time to compile the evening's red carpet ensembles that either missed the message or failed the mood test. The Oscars, for the most part, feature some really stylish outfits. Only a few subpar outfits were worn at the event last year. In conclusion, the 2023 Oscars saw some great attires with more successes than failures. However, nobody is flawless, and a few celebrities seemed to emphasize that notion, albeit unintentionally. As the internet once more judges the 2023 Oscars attendees' designers while they are wrapped in their less-than-luxurious sweatpants, gather around.

From outrageous hues to excessive plumes

Jimmy Kimmel is hosting the event at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California, and it's featured a number of fashion gaffes, such as Lilly Singh's peculiar trench coat, Zoe Saldaña's nightgown-like appearance, and Fan Bingbing's giant, vivid green scarf.

On the Oscars red carpet, there was no lack of sartorial disasters, from vivid colors and discordant patterns to excessive ruffles and oddly shaped dresses.

Top 10 Worst dressed celeb on Red Carpet

Melissa McCarthy

Melissa McCarthy's dress had puffy arms and padded shoulders, adding to an intimidating appearance. It also had a silky torso with an interesting turtleneck-like neckline. One viewer on Twitter compared it to, "A bad prom dress on steroids."



 

Laverne Cox

Laverne Cox, the actress of 'Orange Is the New Black', donned an unflattering teal and black dress with odd, glove-like sleeves. One viewer wrote, "I don’t like the outfit at all. It looks like she is wearing tan undergarments with a halter dress."



 

Michelle Williams

With a sheer, sparkling piece of fabric dangling on top of her strapless white dress, actress Michelle Williams committed an offense against fashion. Its angular design was sorely unattractive. Fans felt she was, "giving nothing as usual."



 

Lilly Singh

Lilly Singh, a well-known YouTuber, sported a dubious ensemble that included a vibrant pink floor-length jacket and awkward footwear. Fans think, "She looks like a wax model."



 

Rooney Mara

Rooney Mara went on the champagne-colored "red" carpet wearing a white tulle wrap dress that was tied behind her at the bottom of her skirt to form a floor-sweeping train. One Twitter user wrote, "Looks like an ad for seasonal depression."



 

Florence Pugh

Florence Pugh wore a white, flowing gown with enormous arms and a gaping hole in the center that revealed a pair of black shorts underneath. One social media user asked, "Is she wearing a duvet? Or as my Mam would say is that a continental quilt."



 

Zoe Saldana

The star of 'Avatar', Zoe Saldana, was spotted arriving in a lace costume that appeared more appropriate for a nightgown than the Academy Awards red carpet. A Twitter user wrote, "It just blends into the background too much. Looks too lingerie and underwhelming. That pale carpet is washing everything out.



 

Kate Hudson

Although it's difficult for someone as beautiful as Kate not to appear magnificent, her ill-fitting Louis Vuitton dress didn't help. Fans compared her outfit to "trained seals at Marineland."



 

Tems

Her dress, while very constructional, is far too garish. Her outfit became the butt of the joke as fans quipped, "Imagine waiting your whole life to be at the Oscars and you end up sitting behind a stratus cloud."



 

Sandra Oh

The way Sandra's orange dress was draped looked too weighty and overpowered on the 'Killing Eve' actress's figure. One fan commented, "Looks like the dress needs a spray of Lysol."
