10 Worst Red Carpet Dresses of All Time [Photos]

The actress, 44, donned the bizarre dress for the premiere of Blue Jasmine in New York. Cate's bold statement outfit was one of her more "out there" red carpet choices and didn't do her amazing figure any favours. And while we're still sitting on the fence as to whether the frock choice was brave or barmy, we check out nine truly dreadful red carpet combinations.

1) Lady Gaga The wacky singer's meat dress made it hard for anyone to keep a Poker Face.

Gagacommissioned the dress, boots and hat for the MTV VMAs in 2010, shocking viewers with what appeared like raw cuts of meat. After a few hours the smell must have been truly offal.

2) Bjork Bjork must have been at least a little ticked off that Gaga stole her Worst Red Carpet Dress crown. Before the Telephone singer came along the Icelandic star could be sure to be the most oddly dressed. Her cross between a tutu and a dead swan became infamous after she donned it for the 2001 Oscars. Maybe a little birdie should have told her it wasn't a great look.

3) Kim Kardashian Kim was really curtain our eyes when she stepped out in this creation during her pregnancy. She even had sleeves and gloves added to the Givenchy gown before stepping out to the Met Gala in it. Not so much flower power as blooming awful.

4) Britney Spears Is it a dress? Is it underwear? It was hard to tell with Britney's outfit for the 2010 Grammys. She wore a black corset-style bodice underneath the mesh garment that left little to the imagination. Maybe a Brit more fabric next time, Ms Spears.

5) Tilda Swinton The actress is well known for her off-the-wall take on clothing but this concoction, which makes her look like she bathed in crude oil, should have bounced straight into the bin. Tilda wore the Lanvin gown for the 2008 Oscars red carpet, when she won Best Supporting Actress for her role in Michael Clayton.

6) Celine Dion Celine was heading for a style disaster of Titanic proportions when she opted for this backwards white suit. Never mind that it was the wrong way around, it also looked several sizes too big and that hat should never have come out of its box. The Canadian singer sunk all her fashion cred when she stepped on the Academy Awards red carpet in 1999 in that get-up.

7) Cher Another Oscars fashion faux-pas – and this time it's a big'un from Cher. While deserving of admiration for her rock-hard abs, Cher's showgirl look was totally out of place and that hat had more than a passing resemblance to a supersized hedgehog. Oh If We Could Turn Back Time…

8) Zoe Saldana And we're staying with the animals – the train of Zoe Saldana's 2010 Oscars dress looked like it had been made from airbrushed poodles. No amount of sparkles on her strapless top could distract attention away from the horror hem. And judging by Zoe's look on her face she knows she looked a bit like the dog's dinner.

9) Nicki Minaj If there ever was a Where's Whally of fashion – Nicki Minaj in this outfit is it. The rapper was hard to spot amid the futuristic mash-up of what might have been clothes at some point. And with that ice cream necklace to top it all off, we hope this look's cone – but it certainly won't be forgotten.

10) MC Hammer The lads aren't exempt from a sartorial boob, of course. This MC should be doing some Hammer Time for wearing this fright. He obviously thought this slashed, nipple and abs exposing shirt and trouser combo was the height of fashion. We're wondering if it should ever have been considered fashion in the first place.
