Bizarre designer fashions

The ugly wedding dress thread That Will Not Die has got me thinking: there are plenty of really hideous "designer" what-was-she-thinking outfits pictured in various places on the web. (Certainly not in any pattern catalog outside of the costume section, of course.)

Let's have a good laugh at those...please post links to your favorite horror show.

She must have thought she was going to a Middle Eastern costume party and chose a harem costume to go in. Slap my face. That was a nasty thing to say. But it came out before I could stop it. Looking very red in the face, AK in PA

Sheryl Crow at last year's Emmys:

Oh, my. Still, there are so many bad dresses at awards shows. It's probably easier to concentrate on the nice ones. *laugh* I thought Hillary Swank's dress for the 2005 Oscars was great and tremendously flattering! And Halle Berry's dress the for the 2002 Oscars was *so* beautiful.

Now, this is not a link to a famous celebrity, but even more frightening is that it's a dress listed under the header "Homecoming dresses." What kind of Homecoming queen would be in this get-up?! I think the dress should be titled: When Xena is crowned Homecoming Queen....

Nah, she just mistook it's fluffy yellowness for a tasty lemon-merangue (sp?) pie and couldn't resist taking a bite from it's yummy goodness!

At least the bullseye under her boobies makes it easy to aim when taking pot-shots at her!

(goodness, I am a smart-alec today!)

That's precisely what I was thinking! That and...."this is NOT a dress to wear to the rifle range."

And could someone please, please explain the black footless tights to me???? I am seeing them everywhere. With denim mini skirts. With white skirts like that. Ok. 1. they look Dorky to begin with. and 2. why black with everything lighter??? huh????? I don't get it. I just really don't.

*sigh*

---who really hoped the wearing leggings under short skirts was one trend from the 80's that would not come back!

LOL!!!! Oh my..... Hey, maybe she is really a ninja and those are fighting fans that she can whip off the dress and attack the bad guys with when they drop down from the ceiling. It's a thought. LOL

Oh yuck. Did that gold trim come off of last year's Christmas tree?

Recently I read that the Emmys broadcast is at a bad time of year for the best designer offerings...can't remember exactly why, though.

Yes... what the heck is that? It says, "I'm ready to go trick-or-treating" or "spider vein cover-up"

Oh yeah..... now isn't that accordion-pleat bustier a work of art? I think you're just jealous at not having a dress like that. ;)

I'm still jealous over Carol Burnett's Scarlett O'Hara dress. Now that was truly rive gauche! ;) Burnett said it was the only costume she kept but it was hell getting in a cab. Bob Mackie did the costume. He did a lot of Cher's outrageous costumes too. For the life of me, I cann ot put my hands on a pic of Burnett in that costume.
