The biggest awards night of the year did not fail to serve us with some gorgeous gowns on the red carpet but, unfortunately, there were also a handful who missed the mark. Aside from Heidi Klum, who donned an ugly tulle Marchesa gown, we have spotted 5 other celebs who made disappointing fashion choices.

1. Kerry Washington (Full Story)

Party at the top and boring at the bottom? We really don’t get the mix of black leather bodice and classic white skirt on this Atelier Versace gown. It’s like Kerry couldn’t decide if she wanted to do fierce or sophisticated, so she just went with both.

2. Amy Poehler

Amy Poehler was probably giving a nod to the spring season with her Andre Gn dress that featured colorful garden embroidery. The dramatic dress, with all its embroidery and caped sleeves, was too much and drowned out her small frame.

3. Mindy Kaling

Comedienne Mindy Kaling wore a two-toned Elizabeth Kennedy gown, which could have been good if it had been a better fit. The style looked very constricting on Mindy’s shoulders and arms, which makes the gown a little awkward on her.

4. Sofia Vergara

Sofia Vergara chose to wear a midnight blue Marchesa gown that had a cleavage-baring sweetheart neckline, draping accents and sequin embellishments. While this dress is not really an ugly choice, it is completely underwhelming for someone like Sofia, who we love to see in fiercely sexy dresses.

5. Whoopi Goldberg

There’s a cute story behind Whoopi Goldberg’s Oscars dress. It was designed and created by the Dames in NY, inspired by Bette Davis’ gown in Oscar-winning film All About Eve. While the dress’ silhouette is a classic, the cut and style was not really very flattering on Whoopi. She would have looked way better in something more chic and structured.
