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, among the fashion hits were some disastrous fails, with Kristen Stewart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and singing sisters Chloe and Halle Bailey all suffering some serious style misses.
Billie Eilish led the list of worst-dressed stars at the 94th Academy Awards in a voluminous black gown, which featured an enormous ruffled train, leaving the singer completely dwarfed in material.
In fact, the 20-year-old was so swamped by ruffles that her arms were almost completely hidden from view as she made her way down the red carpet.

Ruffles were also something of an issue for Caitriona Balfe, whose ill-fitting white dress looked wrinkled and, thanks to the lengthy train of ruffled fabric that flowed behind it, rather resembled a long crumpled tissue.
On the opposite end of the style spectrum was Kristen Stewart, who left absolutely nothing to the imagination in a pair of tiny black hotpants, which she wore with a white shirt that was completely unbuttoned down to the waist. She added a black blazer and heels to complete her barely-there look.
Flashing copious amounts of skin became something of a theme for the evening, with singing sisters Halle and Chloe joining Kristen in flashing a serious amount of flesh on the red carpet.
The siblings both opted for incredibly risque numbers; older sister Chloe wore a metallic one-shoulder purple gown that had a slit all the way up to her ribcage, leaving one leg entirely bare – and putting her at serious risk of flashing far too much for the cameras.

Just like Venus, Tracee Ellis Ross landed herself on the worst-dressed list thanks to the barely-there breast cups on her gown
Meanwhile Halle appeared to take inspiration from her upcoming role as The Little Mermaid for her ensemble, a bright turquoise dress that consisted of a bra top attached to a long skirt that also had a risque slit, while leaving her stomach exposed.
In addition to the red carpet at the Oscars ceremony itself, there were also several awkward fashion moments at other events, including the Vanity Fair party, and the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s annual viewing event.
At the Vanity Fair soiree, Janelle Monae kept up the flesh-baring fashion in her bizarre cut-out number, which looked as though it had been attacked with a pair of scissors before she stepped out onto the carpet.
Saweetie pulled off a very similar look at Elton John’s party, where she put on an eye-popping display in a very daring black gown that also featured several risky cut-outs across the bodice.

Also daring to bare was Venus Williams, who flashed a huge amount of cleavage in her plunging white gown – as Tracee Ellis Ross in her bold red dress.
Actress Niecy 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.
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.
Oscars host Regina Hall also struggled with her own take on the hue.

While the host made a stylish appearance on the red carpet, she underwent a costume change during the ceremony, switching into an unflattering pink number with ugly ruffles down the front.
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.
