Now, the only images it conjures are of unfortunate and in some cases tragic fashion disasters, of which some are using to actually gain themselves a spot in the limelight. This years Grammy Awards Ceremony showcased quite a few of these tragic cases.
1. Madonna
Madonna’s always been known for her attention-getting fashion choices and this one is no different. On the verge of irrelevance, with new young stars taking over the stage, this outfit is a definite cry for attention.

When you become old enough to be referred to as ma’am it might be time to start dressing like you are one… at least for the red carpet.
2. Lady Gaga
No surprise here.

3. Meghan Trainor
It’s always interesting to see what first-timers will wear on the red carpet but Meghan Trainor’s Galia Lahav dress wasn’t exactly the debut I was expecting.

This tulle number with unflattering lace appliqués needs to go back to whichever prom dress shop it came from. Hopefully, next time she’ll consider a more elegant option such as Elie Saab.
4. Joy Villa
Honestly, it’s no wonder lust is at the top of the seven deadly sins. This blatantly obvious desire for attention and fame actually worked and has now put this once unknown model, Joy Villa, on the map. Ironic that even the most awful of designs can help make a name for someone.
5. Kim Kardashian
I’m all about wearing my Sunday best to church but these little numbers might induce more prayers from churchgoers than praises in fashion media. From Madonna’s little Givenchy number which looks like it belongs in a burlesque show on a Las Vegas stage and not on a red carpet.
To Kim’s gold lamé dressing gown and everything in-between, this year at the Grammy’s was sure to disappoint in the fashion department.
I much prefer the dress worn by Taylor Swift
Now that is classy!
