At the beginning of the year, I wondered if this would hold up as the worst outfit of 2016. This entire slideshow will attempt to answer that question with a resounding no.
Nicole Scherzinger
I'm SO SCHER. (Zinger!)
Nicki Minaj
Nicki, you are killing us all.
Whitney Port
I'm guessing she misses being on TV every week.
Eve
Those sleeves are like very sparkly flea collars.
Carly Chaikin
There is a LOT going on here and yet I still can't see anything but her bra.
Lizzy Caplan

Too many things in life start out wonderfully and end with a whimper.
Madonna
This just bummed me out.
Beyonce
Beyonce brings out the cynic in me, which I am trying to tamp down in 2017.
Keke Palmer
I just... if it's going to be see-through, shouldn't it look joyous, at least, and not like it's sticking itself to her?
Kate Upton
She wore this out on her birthday, and seemed SO PLEASED with herself, in a way that irritated me.
Dakota Fanning
I'm just going to focus on how great her head looks.
Nicole Kidman
This is the first in a series of three that employ this same extremely BUSY form of sheer, with strategic patches. Two of them are Rodarte, one is not. See if you can guess.
Kristen Stewart
Surely no one has ever been so thrilled to have an ink blot pelvis.
Zoe Saldana

And this one has a weird sort of bonus cummerbund. Okay, here is the answer: This one is Rodarte, and so is... drum roll... Kidman's. Stew's is Jonathan Simkhai.
Iggy Azalea
Think she'll ever make a real comeback?
Melissa George
Girl no.
Emily Ratajkowski
Congrats to her on wearing this with as straight a face as she does anything and everything else.
Ashley Graham
When Rita Ora has a better dress than you do...
Cara Delevingne

So crotchy.
Nicola Peltz
PUT ON YOUR COAT. It can only help.
Taraji P. Henson
NOT YOU TOO TARAJI.
Idina Menzel
Even the fireworks can't save it.
Charli XCX

Did no one call an exterminator?

The purse isn't REALLY hiding anything, Michelle.
Rita Ora
Gwen Stefani
Gwen confused the shit out of me this year.
Gwen
I mean. What kind of move is that, G? And the skirt doesn't even fit you! That must have left a mark.
Kate Mara
attends the 14th Annual VES Awards at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on February 2, 2016 in Beverly Hills, California.
I feel like I've been lamenting this Dior skirt for a long time, but that's likely because it took her to Fug Madness.
Toni Garrn
I CAN ONLY SIGH SO MANY TIMES.
Carrie Underwood
attends FOX's "American Idol" Finale For The Farewell Season at Dolby Theatre on April 7, 2016 in Hollywood, California.
I feel like if you hiked the bottom up and married it to the tutu, you'd have a cute dress.
Jennifer Lawrence
Yet another depressing Dior.
Rachael Leigh Cook
I don't know why she started making the rounds again lately, but... did it have to be in this crazy-ass thing?
Felicity Jones
Hodge-podge.
Ashley Graham
No no no no no no why no no no.
Jennifer Lopez
Even J. Lo is like, "NO. THE SHEER PANTS ARE FOR ME."
Toni Braxton

And so begins my semi-regular plea for Toni to unbreak my heart.
Karlie Kloss
This legit does not seem like anything she would wear without also being paid huge sums of money.
Dascha Polanco
Nooooooooooope.
Chanel Iman
IT'S A FISHING NET.
Olivia Munn
I did not enjoy putting her in my best-dressed slideshow -- she is one of those people with whom I Simply Cannot (full disclosure is important) -- and so it was a little satisfying that she made BOTH the worsts.

Over. It.
Bella Hadid
SO OVER IT. Especially because there's gorgeous work being done here and it doesn't need pelvises to underline it.
Zoe Kravitz
All nipples, all the time. I don't hate nipples in life, but I just don't see a need to... well, see them all the time. Clothes exist for a reason.
Emily Ratajkowski

Doesn't SHE get bored of this?!?

This one is extra weird because it's so painfully heavy up top and then slight on the bottom.
Hannah Davis
If you're going to DO IT, don't do it with black undergarments. Right? COMMIT.
Kate Walsh

It could have been so good. And then it wasn't.
Karolina Kurkova
Deeply confusing on many levels.
Rebecca Romijn
This just looks cheaply and quickly done.
Tove Lo

So fugllopian.
Olivia Munn

Hey, it's Munn again. I stuck this one in here because the sheer pieces seem so unnecessary, like the designer made one last desperate tweak because nobody wanted to wear it the first time.
Gwen Stefani
If that had been a full dress, it would have been absolutely gorgeous. Which you could say about a lot of these. If you have the technique to start something so lovely, why not KEEP GOING? HELLOOOO?
