After two years of canceled, toned-down, or scaled-back red carpet events, the Academy Awards have returned with a bang, bringing together a host of stylish celebrities putting their most fashionable foot forward in Hollywood on Sunday night.
But while the majority of guests at the star-studded Oscars hit the ball out of the park when it came to their ensemble choices for the evening, there were – as always – several attendees who totally missed the mark with their outfits.
This year’s red carpet, which kicked off an hour earlier than usual, four hours ahead of the ceremony, saw a host of early arrivals, with the likes of Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Laverne Cox among some of the first to set the stylish tone for the evening.
However, the normally-stylish Tracee Ellis Ross made a rare fashion misstep in her vibrant red gown, which featured bizarre breast cups that looked as though they might lead to a very unfortunate accidental exposure at any second.
Actress Niece Nash was another star who risked a red carpet mishap with her garish neon pink gown, which featured a very risque slit that rose all the way to her crotch.
This year’s Oscars red carpet didn’t fail to provide viewers with plenty of memorable style moments, both good and bad, with Jada Pinkett Smith leading the list of worst-dressed stars in her enormous metallic green dress
The actress’s puffy green frock took up a great deal of space on the red carpet and thanks to its bizarre texture, it ended up looking like Jada was dragging a giant head of lettuce behind her
Maggie Gyllenhaal also suffered a fashion fail in her structured gown, which featured 3D gold detailing along the front that made her look like she was wearing several door knockers
Singing sisters Chloe (right) and Halle (left) Bailey were also among the worst-dressed stars at the glamorous event
Chloe’s barely-there dress left far too much to the imagination, while the shiny purple material gave it an incredibly tacky feel
Younger sister Halle appeared to channel her upcoming character Ariel, AKA The Little Mermaid, with her turquoise number, however she ended up looking like she was heading to the beach, rather than a star-studded event

Like Tracee, actress Niecy Nash risked a red carpet mishap in her garish pink gown, which had a raunchy slit that rose all the way up to her crotch
Pink was an unlucky color on Sunday night, with Colombian actress Carolina Gaitán also dropping the style ball with her voluminous gown, which featured comically-large sleeves
Pink proved to be an unlucky color for another actress, Colombian starlet Carolina Gaitán, who sported an almost comically voluminous gown that completely swamped her petite frame.
There were also several very bizarre accessories being sported on the Oscars red carpet, with makeup artist Eva Von Bahr toting a quirky handbag that looked like the head of a statue – having no doubt been inspired by her equally-odd Renaissance-style gown.
Diane Warren also opted for a daring-turned-disastrous purse in the form of a multi-colored bedazzled clutch shaped like a retro boom box.
Swedish makeup artist Eva Von Bahr made a unique choice with her dress, which featured a Renaissance-style design and was paired with a bizarre statue-style handbag
Warren and Parent’s accessories took away from their ensembles, leaving them looking tacky rather than high-end
Orange Is the New Black star Diane Guerrero channeled Cruella de Vil in her polka-dot gown
British makeup artist Julia Vernon looked like she was preparing to head out to a concert or a bar in her chunky boots, leather leggings, and voluminous top, not a glamorous red carpet event
Both Renate Reinsve and Rickey Thompson could well have DIYed their outfits at home, with the latter looking as though he had hot glue gunned several Christmas ornaments on his ensemble
