Is a dress? Is it a skirt? Is it a suit? The Australian actress always looks flawless but we’re not quite sure what to make of this sequinned get-up. There’s nothing wrong with a little sparkle but this unusual outfit just left us feeling confused.

Busy Phillips
Did the late seventies make a comeback? Did we not get the memo? Busy, the usually stylish blonde actress, wore this flared pantsuit by designer Christian Siriano to the evening’s festivities. If the ensemble had been made in a more subtle fabric we might have had a different opinion but this shiny teal suit gets a ‘no’ from us.

Laura Harrier
Laura Harrier is one of the lesser known faces to have attended the evening’s awards but we’re pretty sure this rising talent is someone to look out for.

We are huge fans of the fabulous Miss Ross but we’re feeling unsure of her look from this year’s award show. Her make up and hair are effortlessly stylish but the pale pink ruffled dress does little to enhance her physique.

New Jersey native Carerra made a splash with this bold burnt orange dress and matching eye shadow. She most certainly has the abs to pull off the look but just because you can does not always mean you should. Sadly, this look doesn’t quite make our best dressed list.

Oh, Whoopie. We’ll celebrate any lady who makes bold and risky fashion choices but it’s difficult to applaud when your eyes are being assaulted by so much bright pink. We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again, just because it has a designer label does not mean you’ll look good in it…
