20 Golden Globes Looks We’d Really Like to Forget
The Golden Globes are this Sunday, and we can’t wait. The show signals the official kickoff to awards season, which also happens to mean the beginning of red carpet season—our favorite time of the year.
But for every breathtaking gown that makes its way down the red carpet (and to the top of worldwide best-dressed lists) there’s also a slew of total misses—dresses that have us scratching our heads and wondering WTF the starlets (and, more often, their stylists) were thinking.
We know fashion is totally subjective, and we love that—the infamous ballerina dress Lara Flynn Boyle wore to the 2003 Golden Globes was a choice, and it was at least memorable—but we would like to forget Jessica Alba‘s boy-band white tux in 2002, or Jessica Chastain‘s ill-fitting halter gown in 2013. Among these ladies, and many more, we’ve definitely seen our fair share of Golden Globes fashion faux-pas.
With that in mind, we’ve compiled some of the worst Globe looks over the years. Take a look and share your favorite terrible dress in the comments below!
Blake Lively, 2009
At the time, people wondered why Blake chose this blue satiny Nina Ricci gown—a bit ill-fitting, a tad matronly—when she was at the height of "Gossip Girl," the most fashion-heavy show on TV that year.

Paris Hilton, 2004
It is Paris, and it was 2004, but Paris definitely should have nixed the prom theme and gone with something a little cooler—at the time, she was it.

Tiziana Rocca, 2015
You'd think a Hollywood PR pro would know how to do her own PR.
Beyoncé, 2003
There was a dark, dark period of time when Bey's wardrobe choices were determined by her mother, House of Dereon creator Tina Knowles. That is all.

Julia Roberts, 1990
Rumor has it Julia thought the limo driver was supposed to take her to a "Wall Street" costume party. Weird!

Okay, fine, she gets a pass because she's Courtney freaking Love.

It takes a special dress to make a woman this beautiful not look perfect.

Sarah Jessica Parker, 2003
SJP is having a major Madonna moment here. And not necessarily in a good way.

Michelle Williams, 2011
Michelle normally never makes a false step, which is why this beige daisy dress is especially disappointing.

So what is it exactly?

Lara Flynn Boyle, 2003
Boyle's ballerina ensemble is the stuff of legend, but that doesn't exactly make it understandable.
