We can’t believe 2014 is already almost over! But, since it is, we can’t pass up the opportunity to make a list of this year’s worst-dressed celebrities. Several celebs fell victim to cringe-worthy pieces styled in equally inappropriate ways.

Some are red carpet veterans, while others are novices who tried their hand at becoming fashion-forward but failed miserably. Who do you think was the worst dressed celebrity of 2014?

1. Pixie Lott in Gag-Inducing Dress

First up? British singer Pixie Lott in a gag-inducing, saccharine pink dress. We don’t even know if this costume can be labeled as a dress. The most offensive part is the glittery heart detail that drew attention to the singer’s nether region. Tacky!

2. Suki Waterhouse in Ugly Leopard Print Leather Jacket

Leather, metallic and leopard-print fur in one outfit? No. Just no!

3. Shailene Woodley in Matronly Brown Dress

We can’t stop staring at this dress — but not for a good reason. The gravel-like bodice, the ugly inverted V at the middle, and the matronly brown sheer details – Shailene Woodley looked like she was dressed by some blind woodland creatures.

4. Lena Dunham’s Red Carpet Failures

We’re always up for bright outfits, but this mermaid-inspired dress just fell flat. The dress didn’t do anything to flatter Lena’s voluptuous figure.

However, the yellow frock was a far better sight than her previous pink cotton candy-esque look, which was probably best suited to someone half her age.

But, there’s a silver lining! Lena Dunham has hired Nastygal’s Sophia Amoruso as a stylist for her bookstore! We’re hoping the high street brand founder keeps her away from every worst-dressed list on the Internet.

5. Katie Holmes in Eyesore Dress

Katie Holmes looked like she came from a ‘Beauty and the Beast’ stage play and had a few drinks with friends before heading straight to this fashion event! The dress is an eyesore and her hair could have used a bit of combing.

6. Amber Rose in Revealing Chain Dress

We get it, the MTV VMAs routinely push the boundaries of fashion. But did Amber Rose have to leave her clothes behind in favor of this chain ensemble?

7. Mayim Bialik in Unflattering Dress

We can’t decide which part of this dress is more offensive – the unflattering shape or the overwhelming lavender silk skirt? It looks like Mayim Bialik is equally confused.

8. Rose Leslie in Leopard & Lace

Never, under any circumstances, don leopard print and lace. Rose Leslie learned that the hard way!

9. Rosario Dawson in Confusing Lace Top

We’re having some serious trouble figuring out what that circular contraption on Rosario Dawson’s lace top is. It looks like a giant dispenser, spewing out pleated fabric. Either way, we’ll pass.

10. Caroline Flack in Tacky Ill-Fitting Skirt

It’s hard to get the LBD look wrong. But, when you get it wrong — you get is so wrong. The point of an LBD is to be understated, classic, and sexy.

Caroline Flack missed the mark by donning this horrendous dress with an ill-fitting skirt and a tacky ruffled detailing.

11. Solange Knowles in Bubble Skirt

Solange Knowles usually gets it right, so it was a surprise when she came to a fashion event wearing this awful thing. The bubble skirt looked poorly made and ill-tailored.

12. Rita Ora in Tinfoil-Wrapped Burrito Outfit

We don’t think we need to explain why Rita Ora’s neck-to-toe metallic ensemble made it on this list. This outfit made us crave a tinfoil-wrapped burrito, though.

13. Julianne Moore in Ivory Silk Cloque Draped Dress

The red carpet veteran is usually on-point, but this outfit was an exception. It would actually look better if the waist area was a little more nipped-in and the designer did away with the shoulder draping. That being said, we love the Gianvito Rossi ‘Carey’ heels.

14. Maggie Grace in Horrible Slip Dress

This is a classic example of how not to wear a slip dress! Maggie Grace looked like she rolled out of bed and straight to the Pre-Oscar party.

15. Kate Bosworth in Mermaid Dress

This dress looks like it took inspiration from mermaid fashion. The fin-like detailing at the top and the ruching at the bottom destroyed an otherwise stellar dress. Kate Bosworth could do better!

16. Miley Cyrus in Trashy See-Through Outfit

The 21-year-old entertainer shocked in a see-through top detailed with sequined bands paired with a skirt by Tom Ford.

Earlier the same year, she wore yet another horrible outfit comprised of a pink Calvin Klein Pre-Fall 2014 coat paired with ankle-strap sandals from the same designer.

17. Zoe Saldana in Sheer Floral Top

Zoe Saldana showed off her white bra in a sheer dress at the premiere of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ this past summer.

18. Jennifer Aniston in Ill-Fitting Mini Dress

We wonder if Jennifer Aniston even looked herself in the mirror after putting on this outfit. She sported a black blazer paired with a silver sequin mini dress from Saint Laurent.

19. Kim Kardashian in Latex Bustier-Style Bodysuit

How could our list possibly be completed without the highly controversial television and social media personality, socialite, fashion designer, businesswoman, model, and actress?

The ShoeDazzle founder donned a latex bustier-style bodysuit by Atsuko Kudo and a sheer crystal-embroidered custom Ralph & Russo couture dress to the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London. She accessorized with Tom Ford sandals.

21. Katie Price in Pink Embellished Leotard

Rainbow Brite, is that you? The English singer, television personality, novelist, businesswoman, and former glamour model sported a pink embellished leotard featuring rainbow streamers.

She paired the cleavage-flaunting garment with over-the-knee colorful striped socks, an orange gerbera brooch, a headband with promotional images, and a pair of towering glittery heels.

The controversial actress sported a Chanel Resort 2015 ensemble consisting of sheer palazzo pants paired with a ribbed crop top.

23. Lady Gaga in Purple Blazer and Leather Pants

The popular singer was spotted heading into Roseland Ballroom for a concert on April 4 in New York City.

Lady Gaga sported a purple blazer, leather pants, a floral blouse, an outlandish green and bright yellow wig, and a crazy pair of shoes. While a look like this is normal to Gaga, it’s still not easy on our eyes.
