00:00Hudson, what's under the robe?
00:03Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:05And today, we're counting down our picks for the celebs that have missed the fashion mark at 2026 industry events
00:11so far.
00:12Look at her outfit.
00:12Look at you.
00:13Who could pull this off?
00:15Look at this.
00:16My God.
00:18Number 10.
00:20Kim Kardashian.
00:21Vanity Fair Oscar Party 2026.
00:23In most cases, wearing a gorgeous gold gown from a respected designer like Gucci would be a red carpet slam
00:29dunk.
00:30However, the styling of said dress can take it from hot to not, and Kim Kardashian is the ultimate example.
00:36Is this your first vanity carpet?
00:38No, we went together last year.
00:41Do you recall?
00:45What?
00:46I'm nervous for the carpet.
00:47Rather than add an accessory to complement the form-fitting, unhemmed garment, the reality star opted for a set of
00:54ice blue contacts and 8-inch pleaser heels.
00:57Her shoe choice came back to haunt her, with her taking a tumble into a bush before she even arrived
01:01at the elite afterparty.
01:03I wonder if this shoe should be tighter.
01:06No!
01:07Sorry!
01:08Sorry!
01:08My ankle!
01:09Take a second.
01:10But let me try to walk on it.
01:11Her brunette lock seemed more messy than touzled, and wearing it down with no styling certainly did not help.
01:18Overall, the vision may have been there, but she couldn't quite see it through.
01:22Painting.
01:23It's crazy.
01:25You said sculpture.
01:26You literally look like a painting, like a sculpture.
01:29I think I like this side better.
01:31Number 9.
01:32Karlie Kloss.
01:332026 Met Gala.
01:35Wish me luck!
01:36Ah!
01:37There we go.
01:38Bye!
01:38For many fashion girlies, the Met Gala is their Olympics.
01:43Everyone wants to serve a memorable look, but one wrong move and you end up in meme territory.
01:48That was, unfortunately, the case for Karlie Kloss.
01:51The theme was centered around celebrating costume art, which the model attempted with a white Dior gown.
01:56By the way, it's so full circle because I wore, to my wedding, a Dior couture dress.
02:00That was the last time I was in a white Dior couture dress.
02:03This is very special.
02:04It featured a sculpted silhouette with a rounded bottom, which did help elevate the somewhat basic
02:09garment.
02:10Unfortunately, that exact feature became the exact target for several critics online.
02:15People from all over took to the web to make their pointed opinions known.
02:19Her couture dress was compared to everything from different kinds of food to body parts.
02:24After seeing it for ourselves, it's hard to say we disagree with their consensus.
02:28How do you feel in it?
02:30I feel like Cinderella.
02:32Fashion is art.
02:33Fashion is art.
02:34It's me.
02:35Number 8.
02:36Keith Urban.
02:3761st Academy of Country Music Awards.
02:40Not your first rodeo here at the ACMs.
02:42How special is it just to be able to celebrate all things country music with our community
02:46tonight?
02:47Go girl, give us nothing.
02:49While there's certainly nothing wrong with wanting to keep things a bit laid back for a
02:53country music award show, it felt like Keith Urban just grabbed whatever clothes he saw
02:57first.
02:58The hit musician took to the red carpet in a gray t-shirt, baggy white pants, and sneakers.
03:03I just wanted to make music to break in my studio.
03:07Some fun music.
03:09Had he just committed to the casual vibe, then the outfit might have been salvaged.
03:13All hope of that left when he bizarrely decided to spruce it up with a light gray blazer, which
03:18felt largely out of place compared to the rest of the outfit.
03:21He looked less like someone there to present an award and more like a stranger who happened
03:26to wander in.
03:27The award for Album of the Year had already gone to so many amazing artists like Merle
03:32Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Alan Jackson, George Strait, and even our host tonight, Shania Twain,
03:40to name just a few.
03:41Number 7.
03:42Leighton Meester, 83rd Golden Globes.
03:45Do you mind if I shoot some pre-ceremony content?
03:47Oh, yeah, sure, sure, of course.
03:49Come here.
03:50And we're alive.
03:51Sometimes just one too many elements takes a look from iconic to a complete miss.
03:56Leighton Meester learned that the hard way after arriving at the Golden Globes in a Mew Mew
04:00gown.
04:01But what do you make of all of this?
04:03Now, all of these projects that are coming your way and eyes that are on you.
04:07The designer dress was originally light pink, which became nearly impossible to tell thanks
04:11to the countless amounts of silver embellishments applied to it.
04:14Besides the base becoming muddied, the random yellow chest piece did nothing but add another
04:20contrasting color to the mix.
04:21Her fresh-faced makeup was the one saving grace, as it helped balance out the more extreme
04:26aspects of her outfit.
04:27It seemed like it was aiming for avant-garde, but blew off course somewhere along the way
04:32and missed entirely.
04:34Could you possibly come back?
04:36Uh, I don't know.
04:38I mean, I would.
04:39Possibly could.
04:40Yeah, I didn't, like, die.
04:41Die, yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:42Number 6.
04:43Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Vanity Fair Oscar Party, 2026.
04:46Some looks are so questionable that it's hard not to wonder if the designer was setting
04:51up the celebrity wearing their clothes.
04:53Take Priyanka Chopra Jonas at the Vanity Fair Oscars party, for instance.
04:57Oh, I've made so many mistakes in my life.
04:59I've been a public person since I was, like, not even a, like, I was a minor.
05:04I was, like, 17 years old, so most of my mistakes have been public.
05:08The actress, who'd been dressed by Stella McCartney, arrived in a beautiful metallic gown,
05:13which had been adorned with a jarring faux fur trim.
05:16The thick fabric clashed heavily with the base piece, and the contrast was made worse
05:20with a matching stole.
05:22The final result was her being seemingly swallowed up by the extra material.
05:26The attempt at elevating a simple, yet classic silhouette ended up having the opposite effect.
05:31It goes without saying that sometimes, less is more.
05:34And unfortunately, Priyanka learned that firsthand.
05:37Other people's opinions, especially in my job, cannot become fact.
05:42It's an opinion.
05:43And I just live my life with that.
05:45Number 5.
05:46Tyrese Gibson, 2026 Cannes Film Festival.
05:49Some rules are there for a reason.
05:51When it comes to the Cannes Film Festival, the dress code is fairly simple.
05:55Black tie attire.
05:56You'd think that would be a fairly easy metric to follow, but Tyrese Gibson was clearly feeling
06:01a little rebellious.
06:03Ha, ha, ha, ha, uno, tres, cuatro, cuatro, taco.
06:06Ha, ha, everything's oversteady, homie.
06:08Me gusta, cha, cha.
06:10Kiss my ass.
06:12Rather than a classic suit and tie, the actor went for a button-up shirt, blazer, and a pair
06:17of light-washed jeans.
06:19The different pieces clashed significantly.
06:21It felt like an odd mix of casual and professional elements, especially with the pants having some
06:26strategically placed rips.
06:28They were not the only things to stress that night.
06:31The staff reportedly called him out on his faux pas after he arrived.
06:34Luckily, he was able to stay, but he was one wrong move from being excluded entirely.
06:40Cha-ching.
06:41Now put your blouse back on.
06:43Hater.
06:44Number 4.
06:45Sarah Pidgeon, 32nd Actor Awards.
06:48When you're hired to play a minimalist icon like Carolyn Bissette Kennedy, that unfortunately
06:52comes with expectations of carrying on that legacy.
06:55Sarah Pidgeon tried her best to recreate that vibe at the Actor Awards, but unfortunately
07:00she fell short.
07:01Can we talk about it?
07:02Oh my gosh, yeah, I love talking about the show.
07:04First, Balenciaga.
07:06We've got Balenciaga.
07:08Feeling fabulous.
07:09She arrived at the event in a light pink double balloon dress, which she then kept even more
07:14simple with an updo and minimal accessories.
07:16That choice made an already plain garment even more lifeless.
07:20Trying to figure out what color it is.
07:22Last thing I said was dusty rose.
07:26It's not a blush.
07:27Is it a blush?
07:28It's a blush.
07:29Blushing rose.
07:30The gown somehow had no silhouette whatsoever, which made her appear shapeless.
07:35There was nothing truly eye-catching about the piece, despite it being an attempt at maximalist
07:40fashion.
07:40All she had to compliment it was her face card.
07:43And while it was lethal, it wasn't enough to save this look.
07:46She has such a strong aura just through those photographs and getting to understand how the
07:50reason why, you understand how she carried herself because of her history and the powerful
07:56woman that she was.
07:58Of course, the amazing style that she has.
08:02Yes, we can never forget.
08:03Number three, Hudson Williams, 2026 Met Gala.
08:07All the pieces were there, but they couldn't quite fit together.
08:11To Hudson Williams' credit, he did think outside the box for his debut at the Met Gala.
08:16However, his fashion-forward intentions didn't quite stick the landing.
08:20What made me fall in love with Pierre Paolo's vision is how he sees everything, how he sees
08:25fashion, who his inspirations were.
08:27He arrived in a powder-blue matador-inspired suit, opting to go bare beneath the jacket.
08:32A long black train was added for dramatic flair, and that was all topped off with intense
08:37eyeshadow.
08:38We have two stories going on.
08:40We have this one, which is kind of like an old Cristobal thing, but the makeup was inspired
08:44by Black Swan because me and my groomer, Aika, loved that movie.
08:48We wanted to reference cinema, and we kind of wanted to do the white swan becoming the
08:53black swan a little bit.
08:55While it was exciting in concept, several details caused it to flop in execution.
09:00The pants not being fitted caused the train to look awkward, and the makeup seemed completely
09:04out of place compared to the rest of the outfit.
09:07It proved that it takes more than bold pieces alone to be a style icon.
09:11He swung for the fences, as they say, right?
09:13Yeah.
09:13Make it count.
09:14If it's my first time, yeah, I'm going to go with more makeup than I've ever
09:18worn.
09:18Yeah, I'm going to go with this baby blue and black bolero situation.
09:23I wouldn't say it worked for me.
09:25Like, I loved it, but I will say what I appreciate the most is the swing.
09:29Number 2.
09:30Lena Dunham, 2026 Met Gala.
09:33Hudson isn't the only one who fell victim to standout pieces being paired with poor styling.
09:37For the 2026 Met Gala, Lena Dunham went full out.
09:41She immediately turned heads with her bright red gown, which served showgirl vibes in the
09:46worst way possible.
09:47This is Valentino by Alessandro Michele.
09:51Trying, working hard on my perfect pronunciation.
09:55The dress was covered in sparkles and feathers, which gave it an overall gaudy feel.
10:00It also swallowed her frame, which made it difficult to truly enjoy.
10:03She attempted to recreate a 17th-century artwork depicting a grisly execution, but the garment
10:09was so over-the-top that it lessened the impact.
10:12Had it been paired down, then it could have been one of the most striking looks of the
10:16night.
10:16Instead, it just came across as a huge swing and an even bigger miss.
10:21Lena, what did you listen to while getting dressed?
10:26Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
10:30Diane Kruger, 2026 Cannes Film Festival.
10:34The green cape was a bizarre addition that added nothing to the original look.
10:38Tiana Taylor, 31st Critics' Choice Awards.
10:41Thigh-high boots and a giant feather cape turned this chic suit into a fashion nightmare.
10:46Philippine Leroy Beaulieu, 2026 Cannes Film Festival.
10:49The excessive ruffles and tiered skirt easily overwhelmed her frame.
10:54Nikki Glaser, 54th American Music Awards.
10:57Everything from the collar to the corset-style cutouts was amiss.
11:01Number 1.
11:02Lisa Rinna, 2026 Cannes Film Festival.
11:05In a round of couture or just a bore?
11:09Okay, I'm gonna show you looks from a slew of Bravo celebrities.
11:12Tell us if it's giving couture or not.
11:14There's nothing wrong with trying a new look.
11:16However, debuting it at one of the most prestigious events in the movie industry probably isn't
11:21the best call.
11:22That didn't stop Lisa Rinna from arriving in a jaw-dropping ensemble, which consisted
11:27of a bleach-blonde blowout and a bright rainbow gown.
11:30As if the colors alone weren't enough to grab everyone's attention, it was made even more
11:35jarring with the realization that it was made out of tinsel.
11:38It is just god-smacking, is how I would say.
11:41I've never been to Cannes before.
11:43It's my first.
11:44It's your first name.
11:44I know, I know.
11:45I'm a virgin.
11:46Okay.
11:46So to speak.
11:47It was certainly bold, but it unfortunately wasn't the fashion statement she was hoping
11:52for.
11:53The combination of textures and hues made it more camp than avant-garde, which would have
11:57been perfect at virtually any other event.
12:00At Cannes, however, it just looked strikingly out of place.
12:03The comments that we got were Big Bed, this, Looney Tunes, that, and I'm like, oh my god,
12:08great, job well done.
12:10Yeah, he was thrilled.
12:10You know, I was thrilled.
12:12Which celebrity do you think has served up the worst red carpet look so far this year?
