00:00Welcome to MissMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most rib-crushing,

00:08feet-swelling, and downright uncomfortable looks to ever appear on the red carpet.

00:1310.

00:14Jennifer Garner

00:15In 2016, Jennifer Garner was the epitome of elegance when she arrived at the Oscars red

00:39carpet in a stunning black Versace dress.

00:42The custom-made, full-length, one-shoulder gown was class with a capital C. However,

00:48underneath all the glamour, Garner was in fashion agony.

01:03The 13 Going on 30 star later revealed to Jimmy Fallon that the dress featured a metal

01:07corset which squeezed her ribs.

01:10A real trooper, she managed to conceal her discomfort and get through the evening without

01:15breaking a sweat.

01:16Honestly, we think she should have won an Oscar for this performance.

01:229.

01:23Anne Hathaway

01:24Where there's a will, there is Anne Hathaway.

01:33While attending 2024's Milan Fashion Week, the Academy Award-winning actress arrived

01:38wearing a dress that can only be described as red-hot.

01:42The leather Versace number included a super-small bodice that was so tight it looked like it

01:47could squeeze water from a stone.

01:49Hathaway shared a video on her Instagram demonstrating to designer Donatella Versace how it was impossible

01:54for her to maneuver in the dress.

02:05Never one to give up a good fashion moment, the Idea Review actress powered through.

02:10Miranda Priestly would be proud.

02:168.

02:22Doja Cat

02:23For the 2023 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Doja Cat wanted to keep things simple, but

02:32the night had other plans in store.

02:35Moving on the pink carpet, Doja was decked out in a black slip dress that included open

02:39back and thong.

02:41Looking effortlessly cool and glam, instead of painting the town red like she had probably

02:46hoped, the dress saw her seeing red.

02:54Taking to Instagram, she revealed in graphic detail how uncomfortable and intolerable the

02:59deceivingly simple dress was.

03:01At one point, Doja even compared herself to a block of sharp cheddar cheese being sliced

03:07and diced by the ensemble's straps.

03:09Yikes.

03:107.

03:11Taylor Swift

03:12In her 2020 documentary Miss Americana, Taylor Swift reveals a lot about herself, including

03:28how she really felt about one of her most famous red carpet moments.

03:37Dressed in head-to-toe ball main, her look for the 2018 American Music Awards was serving

03:42disco ball glam.

03:43The micro-mini dress and matching boots was a silvery chic moment that had Swifties applauding

03:49the bold look.

03:50But behind the scenes, as cameras rolled, Swift confessed that the tight dress made

03:54it difficult to breathe.

03:56Careful, ball main.

04:01You might just be called out in her next single.

04:046.

04:05Kylie Jenner

04:06Now a staple of the Met Gala, Kylie Jenner was once a newbie to the biggest fashion event

04:19of the year.

04:20While attending her very first gala in 2016, Miss Jenner appeared in a silver jewel-encrusted

04:25ball main dress.

04:26After the night was said and done, she took to social media to share some startling insight

04:30into the reality of fashion.

04:37On her Snapchat, the Kardashian reality titan showed followers how the dress scratched her

04:42leg and her shoes left her feet purple.

04:46She followed up the post, stating that her minor injuries were worth it.

04:50Here's hoping her other Met looks have been less painful.

04:535.

04:54Priyanka Chopra Jonas

05:01The 2018 Met Gala theme was heavenly bodies, but for Priyanka Chopra Jonas, it was anything

05:12but divine.

05:14Dressed in a velvety crimson Ralph Lauren dress, complete with a cape and golden jeweled

05:19hood, the Love Again star understood the assignment, taking home an A-plus for being

05:24on theme.

05:25However, the devil was in the details for this celestial look.

05:33In a now-vanished Insta post, the actress admitted that her lungs were feeling the pressure

05:37from the gown's corset.

05:39She also confessed that it made it difficult for her to sit and could barely eat.

05:44Most concerning, she stated that it reshaped her ribs.

05:534.

05:54Bella Hadid

05:55It's not always a tight-fitting bodice or rib-cracking corset, but an accessory that

06:05can turn a fashionable moment into a painful experience.

06:09Take for instance, supermodel Bella Hadid's look at the 2018 Met Gala.

06:23Draped in a black chrome heart dress, she sported a matching veil by chrome hearts Gareth

06:29Pugh.

06:30While it definitely completed the ensemble, Hadid was struggling to keep the heavy hair

06:34accessory up.

06:35According to her social media, the veil weighed a whopping 10 pounds.

06:40Barely able to move, Hadid still managed to stroll through the red carpet effortlessly.

06:473.

06:50Elle Fanning

07:02They say beauty is pain, but at what cost?

07:05While attending the Cannes Film Festival in 2019, Elle Fanning passed out and it was all

07:11thanks to a very unlikely culprit, her Prada dress.

07:15The prom-inspired get-up made Fanning look like the belle of the ball, but the tight

07:19gown proved to be too much.

07:20Thankfully, the actress had a lot of experience wearing constricting 18th-century costumes

07:26on her period series The Great and quickly recovered from her fainting spell.

07:31Plus, Prada's garment should come with a warning label.

07:332.

07:34Kim Kardashian

07:48From covering herself in head-to-toe fabric to dropping a dangerous amount of weight to

07:53wear a famous Marilyn Monroe dress, Kim Kardashian will risk it all in the name of fashion.

07:58And her appearance at the 2019 Met Gala was no exception.

08:01"...I had a corset fully made by Mr. Pearl, the legendary corset maker, because I wanted

08:08to completely accentuate my body to make it as campy as possible."

08:13Collaborating with retired designer Thierry Mugler, her dress gave the illusion that she

08:17had just emerged from the water, but it was her teeny-tiny waist that was the talk of

08:22the evening.

08:23Kardashian later revealed that she'd never experienced such pain, even having to take

08:27breathing lessons in order to make it through.

08:30Sorry, Kim!

08:31The dress was a 10 out of 10, but no amount of glam is worth this torture.

08:35"...I mean, it took a good, like, 20 minutes just to get the corset on.

08:39I mean, nothing about this whole look with the corset is supposed to be natural."

09:01Zendaya

09:02In only a matter of years, Zendaya has cemented herself as one of the biggest fashion icons

09:10of her generation.

09:11From her incredible Met Gala looks to her innovative red carpet outfits, she never misses.

09:17"...I mean, honestly, you just wake up every day hoping that you can be as good as the

09:21person next to you."

09:22Before promoting Dune Part 2, the former child star knew she had to think outside of the

09:26box for the flick's London premiere, and dusted off a vintage Thierry Mugler couture metal

09:32suit.

09:33The look, which could only be described as futuristic robot glam, made headlines.

09:38However, underneath the armor, Zendaya was overheating, causing her to feel white-headed.

09:43Luckily, she opted only to wear it for the red carpet, and change into something a little

09:48less heavy-duty afterwards.

09:50I guess there is a downside to looking so cool.

09:53"...I came to wish you best of luck.

09:56I'd wish you the same, but it seems you've won your battle."

10:01Which of these fashion moments are a big no for you?

10:05Be sure to let us know in the comments.

10:06"...since I haven't eaten carbs or sugar in about three weeks, we're eating pizza and

10:11donut party back at the hotel."
