We love awards ceremonies. It’s always fun to spot the celebrities on the red carpets and pick out the gorgeous gowns and eccentric outfits. But, for every celebrity that cracks the “best dressed” list, there’s also a star that makes it onto the “worst dressed” list. The recent 2013 Brit Awards gave us ample opportunity to rattle off the names of stars that tried, but ultimately failed.
We found several fashion felons at the 2013 Brit Awards. And while we wish everyone could look like Taylor Swift on the red carpet, these ladies totally gave an underwhelming performance.
1. Jaime Winstone
The British actress played it a little too funky in a very colorful jukebox-inspired Adidas dress. Yes, she wore an Adidas dress to a formal red carpet awards event, and that in itself is a big, big mistake.

2. Katherine Jenkins
Usually, classical singer Katherine Jenkins dresses beautifully, so this is a rare mishap. However, the Stella McCartney dress she chose was just too much to look at. Not only was the print of the dress too busy, its silhouette was incredibly unflattering. The frock was constructed with a weird bubble shape on the back, which made Katherine look pretty bloated from behind.

Better dress options:

3. Corinne Bailey Rae
This crinkled number from Miu Miu’s Spring 2013 collection would actually look a little more acceptable at a less formal occasion. But since the 2013 Brit Awards is a pretty fancy event, the creased fabric matched with Corinne’s disheveled ‘do just didn’t work.

Better dress options:

4. Lana Del Rey
This might be the best of the worst. While the Chanel outfit itself isn’t that bad, we expected more from Lana’s stylist. The singer’s makeup and jewels were great, but it somehow felt like Lana got too lazy to dress up, and just threw on her favorite Chanel coat.
