The Worst-Dressed Celebs Of The 2025-2026 Awards Season

With award season just behind us, it's time to take a look at the rich and famous who have disappointed the fashion gods in the past couple of months. Kicking off in late fall and wrapping up in March, the annual award show season gives us a plethora of star-studded events where some deliver A+ fashion moments while others end up looking like they got dressed in the dark.

Odd silhouettes that don't belong on red carpets, bold textures that simply overwhelm, and plenty of poor tailoring are what the 2025-2026 award show season has given us. But nevertheless, the fashion mistakes we see each year undeniably help elevate the stellar choices that some celebs make. So, from the worst-dressed celebs at the 2026 Golden Globes to the biggest fashion disasters at the 2026 BAFTA Awards, here are the stars who probably regret their wardrobe this award season (and hopefully will learn from their mistakes for the next one).

While Cynthia Erivo's method dressing moments while promoting both installments of "Wicked" have been mostly flawless, at the 2025 Governors Awards, the actor kind of disappointed. Erivo showed up in a muted green look paying homage to her character Elphaba, but unfortunately, the bulky coat dress didn't do her any favors. The textured material paired with the fringe bottom was a design by Givenchy that resulted in the actor being one of the worst-dressed stars at the 2025 Governors Awards.

As the director of the historical drama film "Hamnet," Chloé Zhao had a big night at the Oscars, as she was nominated in the Best Director category. While Zhao ended up going home empty-handed, her attendance certainly didn't go unnoticed. The director decided to wear a bold black metallic gown with a ruffled skirt and bell sleeves, a design by Gabriela Hearst. To add even more drama to the look, Zhao added a black veil. Overall, it was just too much. 

Brittany Snow had a stellar 2025, thanks to the drama series "The Hunting Wives," but she didn't kick off the season with the best fashion choices. The actor walked the red carpet of the 2026 Golden Globes in a strapless white gown designed by Danielle Frankel, and while we can totally see it for a photo shoot, on the red carpet, it simply gave her a light bulb silhouette. Apart from that, Snow's attire lacked accessories, which might have helped pull focus from the strange shape. 

"Marty Supreme" star Odessa A'zion showed up to the 2026 BAFTAs in a see-through lace dress by Dior that certainly seemed a tad too revealing for the occasion. In a conversation with Vanity Fair, A'zion revealed that she actually styles herself. "I just feel like it's important for me to call the shots in my own life in that way," the actor explained. However, this piece makes us think she could use a stylist's help.

There's no denying that "Hamnet" star Jessie Buckley still has plenty to learn about red carpet fashion, as her 2026 Critics Choice Awards look proves. The actor attended the event in a black-and-white design by Christian Dior, but the white silk material and giant side bows easily made her one of the worst-dressed celebs of the night. The awkward fit and bulky design did nothing to flatter her figure.

The fashion evolution of Jenna Ortega took a turn with her role in the popular Netflix series "Wednesday," as the actor embraced a more goth aesthetic. And while we usually love seeing her outfits, Ortega's 2026 Golden Globes dress by Dilara Findikoglu kind of made us cringe. With the dramatic side cutouts and low-waist skirt, the look didn't do her any favors. The high neckline and odd fringed sleeves also left us scratching our heads.

Sometimes a red carpet gown ends up having an odd silhouette, and while it may have looked good on a hanger, it looks weird on a person. Dove Cameron experienced exactly this at the 2026 Actor Awards. She wore a design by Monique Lhuillier that featured a black corset top and a dramatic poufy skirt. However, the skirt wasn't falling properly, creating unusual bumps and ridges. The minimal accessories were a smart choice, but couldn't save a look this dramatic. 

When Kristen Wiig showed up on the red carpet of the 2026 Academy Awards, it's safe to say that her choice of attire left us disappointed. The "Bridesmaids" star wore a design by Elie Saab, but unfortunately, the mismatched textures of the top and skirt simply failed to provide enough glamour. With a look like this, it's no surprise that Wiig ended up being one of the worst-dressed celebs at the 2026 Oscars.

"The Crown" star Erin Doherty showed up to the 2026 Critics Choice Awards in a green dress by Louis Vuitton, which had no business at such a prestigious event. In fact, the piece kind of looks like a costume, and we're not the only ones who think so. "This is a Sims plumbob and you cannot convince me otherwise," a Reddit user noticed. The diamond-shaped skirt created a silhouette we rarely see on red carpets, and now Doherty knows why.

Amanda Seyfried has been in the industry long enough that she should know when a dress simply isn't red carpet material. So when the "Mean Girls" star showed up to the 2025 Governors Awards in a brown Valentino dress, we were surprised to see the actor make such a fashion faux pas. The polka-dot dress had too many mismatched elements, which resulted in a chaotic look. Between the pattern and the color scheme, it was giving mall vibes instead of high fashion.
