Chappell Roan’s Bare-It-All Dress
Chappell Roan really brought the shock factor to the Grammys. Her dress was basically just a few rings and some art painted on her body. People were not here for it, calling it “too much” and asking when this trend will end. Spoiler: probably never.
Jenna Ortega’s Spooky Vibes

Miley Cyrus’s ‘Not My Vibe’ Look
Miley’s black sequined gown with giant sunglasses made some fans do a double-take, wondering if they’d switched the TV to a Cruella de Vil marathon by mistake. Not everyone was on board with this vibe.

Kesha’s Met Gala Mix-Up

Ethan Hawke’s Marching Band Moment
Ethan Hawke showed up looking like he escaped from a marching band gig or maybe a pirate show. His Dior outfit had people debating if he was a swashbuckler, matador, or just really committed to a costume party.
Chloé Zhao’s Funeral Vibes
Chloé showed up to the Oscars looking like she was headed to a funeral - with a black ruffled dress and veil that had people asking if she was mourning the cancellation of something (hint: Buffy). Fans called it witchy and totally off for an awards party.
Kim Kardashian’s Gold Glitter Disaster
Kim dazzled in a gold sparkling gown fresh from Milan Fashion Week... but her hair? Not so much. Fans loved the dress hugging every curve but agreed the hair looked like it was fighting for attention and losing.
