This year, though, there were plenty of contenders for the “worst dressed” list.

Yet, Yearwood looked more like she was headed to an office party than a red carpet.

She would have looked like the star she is in something a bit more elevated in a simpler print.

Nastia Liukin

It was hard to miss Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin when she hit the red carpet.

We loved her choice to follow the evening’s jewel tone trend with a bold purple hue.

Yet, this skintight, shiny, backless dress was weird in just about every other way.

His heavily bedazzled jacket was way too long.

The jacket on its own probably would have landed him on the list.

Criscilla Crossland

We love sustainable dressing and reusing our favorite ‘fits for multiple occasions.

This dress is a bit over-the-top and looks way too much like prom queen attire for the event.

Brittany McGuire

TikTok star Brittany McGuire certainly didn’t sport the most egregious ensemble of the night.

This, however, was not one of them.

This lavender gown certainly does have big bridesmaid energy and too many overwhelming frills.

Plus, the closed-toe shoes she paired with it acted to swallow her up in the ensemble even more.

She would have shined in a shorter, sleeker version of this dress.

Yet, she was dressed for a night that was far less important.

She could have layered this leather jacket over something more elevated to stay true to her personal style.

But this look is much more appropriate for a trip to the grocery store.

Davis Burleson

You may know Davis Burleson from his TikTok series, “What’s Poppin?

With Davis!!”

Yet, what makes this look even stranger is the way none of these elements quite go together.

Tanya Tucker

Tanya Tucker is nothing, if not a country music legend.

The outfit she chose, however, was so distracting we almost missed who was wearing it.

The star sported a shiny green jumpsuit with skintight pants, a major cutout, and an attached cape.

This get-up is all-around strange.

Yet, when it came to their looks, one sister excelled while the other crashed and burned.

We loved Krista Slaubaugh’s short suit and updo for the occasion.

This look was just a mess and a better option for a night out than for a major event.

T.J.’s t-shirt, ill-fitting jacket, and pointy shoes also make for a mismatched combination.
