Celebrities’ biggest regrets on the red carpet (PHOTOS)

Rihanna

It turns out that even Rihanna sometimes regrets her choice of outfit. The singer told fashion in April 2024, she was initially thrilled with the oversized brown suit she wore to the 69th annual Parsons Benefit event in New York in 2017, but quickly wished she had worn something else.

“It was a brown suit that we all loved so much, but the day we put it on I thought, ‘Mmm, that looks like a UPS driver,’ and that’s not cute. Not for the red carpet, anyway,” she said.

Emma Roberts

Emma Roberts started acting at a young age and said she regrets some of her early red carpet appearances. The young actress wore camouflage pants, a black tank top and a handbag made of tires on the red carpet for her 2001 film hit.

“I was getting dressed for the premiere of my first movie,” she told PEOPLE in 2024. “My mom let me pick out my outfit: camouflage capri flares and leopard-print clogs. I thought I was the coolest 10-year-old in the world.”

Emma Watson

Emma Watson attended her first film premiere in 2001 for Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in a long grey dress and a cute black boa. 16 years later, the actress commented on the outfit choice on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2017.

“This was my very first movie premiere and my mom and I planned it for weeks. It doesn’t look like it, but we put a lot of thought into it. I thought I looked amazing, by the way. God bless,” she said.

Kaley Cuoco

Although Kaley “loved” the clip-in bangs she wore at home to the 2013 SAG Awards, she reconsidered on the red carpet. And when she saw the pictures, she called the fake bangs “the worst decision I ever made. It just didn’t work. It looked so fake.”

Eva Longoria

Eva Longoria visited the Grave robbers Premiere in 2001 in a brown leather ensemble and told Health In 2017, it was her worst appearance on the red carpet. “It was very fitting for Grave robbersbut it was almost like going to a theme party,” she said.

“It’s like a time capsule, and there’s a decade where I just showed my stomach. Like, ‘Okay, Eva, can you stop wearing a crop top? Do you have to wear a crop top on every red carpet you go on?'” she joked.

Robert Pattinson

If he could wave a magic wand and make one of his red carpet looks disappear, Robert Pattinson would choose this one without a doubt.

“I wore leather pants with cowboy boots and a velvet jacket. I mean, it literally looked like a kid had gone into a dress-up box,” Pattinson said GQ of the outfit he chose for the 2005 premiere Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Selena Gomez

In her early Disney days, Selena Gomez often wore casual outfits on the red carpet, a style choice that she told Hollywood Life would not happen again in 2013.

“I remember walking the red carpet for the first time in skinny jeans and sneakers and thinking, this is amazing – I would never wear that look again… I think when I wore sneakers and a lot of jeans on the red carpet, my stylist was really mortified,” she told the website. “Never again!”

The Jonas Brothers

Nick Jonas had to go through a difficult style phase before he could develop into the fashion star he is today.

Victoria and David Beckham

Although Victoria and David Beckham’s matching all-leather outfit is widely considered one of the couple’s most iconic looks, both have spoken out and said they regret it.

“It haunts me, it really haunts me, but I love it,” Victoria said in an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in 2022. “We wore Gucci (and) it was a Versace dinner, which in itself is inappropriate.”

David also commented on the outfit choice. “It’s one where I look back and think, ‘What were we thinking?’ We laugh about it,” said the former football player H&M Life.

Diane Kruger

“My very first dress was at the Golden Globe Awards by Marchesa (2005),” she said. “They had just started and were really good friends of mine. I loved the dress they made, but it was so wrong for the occasion. You could see my belly button and everyone else was wearing long, flowing dresses.”

Thomas Ian Nicholas

Who hasn’t had a 90s-style moment that makes them cringe? American cake Star celebrated the 25th anniversary of the film with a look back at his: “25 years ago American cake came out in theaters. For some reason I decided to wear this shirt to the premiere…”

Ashley Tisdale

Ashley Tisdale quickly learned not to use her Disney show Costume Department as her personal stylist. “They just style you the way you’re styled on your TV show, so I always looked like my character (Maddie Fitzpatrick) when I went out,” she told PEOPLE.

At the 2004 premiere of The Incredibles, The Hotel Zack and Cody The star wore a pink camouflage print skirt, a pink buttoned jacket, pink boots and a pink sequined handbag.

“I don’t even know what this pink, furry thing was, but I was like, ‘Ooh, put me in there!’ And instead of wearing it the way you normally wear it, I was like, ‘I’m going to stretch out one of my arms and put it across my body.’ It was the weirdest thing,” she said. “At that point, you just have to laugh at yourself!”

Amanda Seyfried

Amanda Seyfried now has superstar-level stylists, but in promoting her early role in Girls Club – Be careful, they bite!she had no stylist, publicist or makeup artist to help her plan her look.

At the performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live In 2022, the actress referenced one of her first red carpet ensembles – a sheer black and white polka dot turtleneck dress. “I didn’t know any of the rules, so I wore a white bra and black underwear and no petticoat.

Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon

Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon tried out a few trends at the 1997 Golden Globes and have regretted it ever since, jokes Sedgwick.

Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth admitted in a Goop newsletter that she regrets how she styled her Alexander McQueen dress at the 2002 Oscars. “There were a few issues; I still love the dress itself, but I should have worn a bra and just had beachy hair and less makeup,” she wrote. “Then it would have worked out the way I wanted it to – a little punk at the Oscars.”

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus has been a superstar since she was a child, but even A-list celebrities can sometimes wear strange outfits as teenagers.

“When I was 16 or 18, I had some questionable clothes. I wore this hippie outfit at Justin Bieber’s Never say never Premiere where I think: Girl, who told you it wasn’t Woodstock, it was a premiere? she told Marie-Claire.

Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson told PEOPLE in 2024 that she doesn’t really regret anything she’s worn on the red carpet: “Because I love fashion, and everything I’ve ever worn has always come from a creative direction for me,” she said, explaining, “I think there are things that other people might have thought wouldn’t be their favorites, but for me, I’ve always worn and continue to wear what makes me feel good and how I like to express myself.”

One of the outfits that was questioned was her 2001 Stella McCartney Oscar dress. Hudson admitted it was quite a showstopper when presenting an award to McCartney in 2011.

“The next morning I woke up … (and) turned on the TV and realized I was on every possible worst-dressed list. So I called Stella and we were laughing our heads off and she said to me, ‘Look, baby, it was the hair, wasn’t it?'” she recalled. (She added that she would wear it again, but just with a different hairstyle.)

Eva Mendes

Eva Mendes’ dress in Ghost Rider Premiere in 2007 was pretty – but she says she failed at styling.

“I had my dress on, but I had to do my hair and makeup in the back of an SUV,” she explained to NBC. “It was a beautiful dress, but the way I put it all together, it looked like Princess Jasmine gone wrong. The strapless, purple dress with necklaces and hair in a really high braid. That doesn’t look good.”

Olivia Holt

Olivia Holt once paired a white lace dress with black leggings and knee-high lace-up boots for an event in 2011 during her Off into madness days. She later called the outfit quite “scary.”

“I’m so sad that I did this to myself,” she told PEOPLE.
