From ill-fitting frocks to mismatched accessories, we look back at the best of the worst celebrity looks of 2019.
It’s the list no celeb wants to be a part of — but don’t feel bad. They have no one to blame but themselves. Here’s to making better choices in 2020! May the new decade be filled with fabulous fashion! (Or not. Because where’s the fun in that?)

Jennifer Connelly
Each of these items worked well on their own. That sweater with a pair of jeans? Great. The skirt with a tank? Lovely. Those leather pants with a rocker tee? Sure, rock it out. But all together? It's like she got dressed in the dark and then figured she'd add more colours and thought, "Yes, a green and white fanny pack would pull it all together." But, alas, no. No waist bag is that magical. Just ask The Rock.
Hey, at least she has gorgeous, shiny hair.

Dascha Polanco
Prince in the back, Christmas tree party in the front. This should've given us life but it did the complete opposite. In fact, we're dead. DEAD. (And not the good dead.)

Kat Graham
Google "Luther from The Umbrella Academy" if you want to know whose closet Kat raided. Now Google "Why would someone do this?" and wait for the crickets to hop across your screen.

Billie Eilish
We can't help but love Billie's take on fashion, and how she wears baggy clothes so people can't judge or sexualize her. That being said, there's a way to do that without looking like a goth resident of Sesame Street.

Emily Deschanel
The 2019 version of Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz did not get better over time. In fact, things were looking grim. Shiny and grim.

Robert Pattinson
He was aiming for high drama but all R-Patz got was chuckles, perhaps the odd guffaw. But think less standup reaction and more of the "Oy, what were you thinking?" variety.

Zendaya
Daya is normally perfection but she proved she was both fallible and human when she went head to toe in a pajama pattern only a silver fox should get away with.

She's not even human anymore, she's all leopard.

Julianne Moore
This dress would work — on someone a foot taller. On Jules, on the other hand, it looked like she was playing dressup in Gwendoline Christie's walk-in.

Rita Ora
If Blake Shelton's closet full of boot-cuts mated with Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears' blinding denim date, this would'be been the spawn.

Harry Styles
This is terrible, obviously, but funnily enough, the only thing that made this whole ensemble worse was his posture. Slumpy and frumpy is never a good combo.

Julianne Hough
If the black shawl piece was meant to calm the florals down, it failed. Miserably. And turned this bright, fun dress into a more funereal piece.

Similar to Julianne Hough's sheer bleak shawl — but, stunningly, even more pointless.

Halsey
She must've mixed up the MTV Millennial Awards with the red carpet premiere of Jersey Shore and crossed her fingers the brightness of the coverup would distract from her swimwear.
It did not.

Mircea Monroe
If you've ever been to one of those posh restaurants where the napkins are folded origami-style and fanned out over fancy plate settings, these shoulders and sleeves served as inspiration.

If Ben was hoping for a groovy reaction, he only elicited the opposite effect. Now excuse us while we scrub our eyes clean. Again.

Isabela Moner
Aside from being one of the most ridiculous denim pieces of the year (she and Rita Ora can fight it out for the title), let's talk logistics here. How does one even put these on? Do the denim legs get affixed to the shorts after the fact? Is it all one piece that you slide on like pants? (Except, no, they're not actually pants.) Whatever the case, designers, one plea for the new decade: stop trying to reinvent pants. Just let 'em be.

Tracee Ellis Ross
If you're wondering where in the world Carmen Sandiego is, she's been hiding in plain (albeit, shockingly paisley) sight all along.

Diplo
He went all in with the cowboy look, but no one yelled, "Yee-haw!" Not even a whisper.
Diplo should've opted for one of these lovely hats. It still wouldn't make this outfit work but, baby steps.

Peyton List
Apparently ruffles scattered haphazardly around shapewear constitutes a dress for some. But it doesn't. It never does. Celebs, let's make THAT a resolution.

Josh Kelly
There was so much wrong here, it's still burned in our brains. Embellished purple bellbottoms, white patterned shirt and suede blazer is almost too much for words. Except one: WHY.
Dad shoes can be styled. Josh's boots cannot.

Marion Cotillard
We stand by what we said about this travesty in April but it bears repeating: This is one of the worst things a human has ever put on. Ever. It's like Lacoste threw up and her outfit was the aftermath.

Shailene Woodley
So many panels yet so little material. Sigh. Can sheer be vanquished from designers' strategies in 2020? And beyond?
Probably not considering 2019 was a bust.

Lena Dunham
While the colours and patterns were fit for a golden girl lounging on a lanai, it's the shoes — which are more fitting for a slip dress or princess gown — that rankled the most.

Dania Ramirez
Ahh, nothing like X-shaped nipple pasties to complete a barely there dress. Happy New Year, indeed!
