The 83rd Annual Golden Globes have officially wrapped, and as always, it featured no shortage of headline-making fashion moments, and not all of them for the right reasons.

While the ceremony had its fair share of honoring television, all eyes were initially fixed on the red carpet to see how the industry’s elite handled the fashion stage.

As is often the case, the pressure to stand out among a room full of icons led to several style risks that failed to translate effectively.

From experimental silhouettes that missed the mark to statement pieces that felt more chaotic than chic, here’s a comprehensive look at the worst outfits that fell flat with fans.

#1 Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande finally ditched her Glinda-pink era and went for a darker, more Ariana-coded look.Ahead of the show, the pop diva said her Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture felt “kind of blindsiding.”“You don’t expect something like this, let alone [for it] to happen twice for the same role,” she told The Hollywood Reporter last month after her second consecutive nomination for her performance as Glinda in the Wicked series. “So I’m just deeply honored. I’m just really moved by it.”For the glitzy award show on Sunday, Ariana wore a black Vivienne Westwood couture gown that featured a draped corseted gown and a velvet bow detail. She topped off the look with her signature ponytail “You can tell she hates this dress,” one comment said.“It looks like a birthday cake,” read a second comment, while a third said, “i love the glam, but NOT her dress…”“i thought this was ai omg,” said a fourth.“She looks like a little girl putting on her mom's dress,” one said.One asked, “Why does she look like a little kid who lost her mom in the crowd?”

#2 Emma Stone

A year after she debuted a pixie cut at last year’s Golden Globes, Emma Stone is in her “bob era.”Nominated in the Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy category for Bugonia, the star encouraged people to chop off their hair if they felt like it.“I highly recommend shaving your head if you’re thinking about it,” she told Vogue ahead of the show. “My goal is to have hair down to my knees by next year.”“We're in our bob era,” noted Emma’s longtime hairstylist Mara Roszak.While her hair created a buzz, netizens felt she strolled onto the red carpet in a look that felt overly casual.“Convenient, buy the skirt then wear the shopping bag as a top,” one said, while another wrote, “She buy that off TEMU formal ware.”“Little planner and less formal than I would’ve gone with myself, but the pastel is complementary to her tone,” one said.“I love the color but I am not a fan of the outfit. It looks off on her,” wrote another.

#3 Jenna Ortega

Jenna Ortega delivered her signature dark energy in an outfit that seemed straight out of Wednesday Addams’ wardrobe.The actress arrived in a black, skin-baring design from Dilara Fındıkoğlu’s Spring/Summer 2026 ready-to-wear collection.“Gosh thats creepy,” one said, while another quipped, “She looks like a Halloween decor.”“This is a miss. Like season 02,” one said.“What happened to her?” one asked. Another wrote, “She now looks more like Lurch than Wednesday.”Many speculated about whether she had undergone cosmetic surgery, claiming her face appeared different.“What has she done to her face?” one asked.“What happened to her face or is it just me,” asked yet another.“Way better before the buccal fat removal surgery,” one claimed.“She used to look so good, why do all these famous actresses look like they are getting the life sucked out of them,” wrote another.

#4 Jennifer Lawrence

#5 Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus’s new engagement ring sparkled under the lights, but some viewers felt her overall look fell flat.The Flowers singer hit the red carpet in a floor-length sequined black gown from Saint Laurent, paired with massive sunglasses. She also flashed her bombe cushion-cut diamond engagement ring that Maxx Morando, her boyfriend of four years, recently slipped onto her finger.“This ain’t Miley,” one commented on her look, while another said, “Not loving the look.. giving cruella vibes.”“Why does she look 55?” one asked.Another said, “Girl what is this hair.”“Miley at the Golden Globes... 😴 Who knew carpet cleaning could be so glamorous?” wrote another.

#6 Parker Posey

#7 Aimee Lou Wood

Aimee Lou Wood went big and bold with a black ballgown from Vivienne Westwood.The actress, nominated for Best Supporting Actress on Television for her role in The White Lotus, served gothic glamor with the gown’s asymmetrical neckline and enormous skirt.Her accessories included a diamond necklace and rings on her fingers. But perhaps the most important piece on her arm was her boyfriend, Adam Long, as the couple made their red carpet debut at the Golden Globes 2026“Is she smiling because she knows she’s the only person in the room who can’t sit down in her seat?” one commented on her outfit.“If someone help us [sic],” another wrote. “She looks uncomfortable.”
