Celebrities are known for their trend-setting fashion statements. But not all of their wardrobe selections are winners; some of their duds are, in fact, just that. When the average Joe fails at fashion, hopefully the only person that notices is your mom, your girlfriend, or your metrosexual buddy (who won’t stop ribbing you about it, ever). Mercy for the poorly dressed rich and famous, however, is in short supply.
In honor of all the celebrities who’ve royally effed up their image thanks to ugly outfits, we’ve rounded up some of the worst red-carpet fashion fails. There are so many, we could be here all day, but we limited ourselves to 10 laughable ensembles. These are the funniest celebrity style and fashion attempts and flops.

Lady Gaga at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards

Cher at the 1986 Academy Awards
Cher was pissed about being overlooked by the Academy for her role in the 1985 hit Mask, so she decided to get its attention with fashion instead. It's certainly a look the world will never forget, but it's just as big a loser as she was.
