When it comes to awards show season, celebrities tend to stick to classic themes to avoid falling on the wrong side of notable fashion. Taylor Swift can be counted on to show up with a cat eye and matching set, Lea Michele will be there in a short and flirty dress with a sleek hairstyle. Shay Mitchell will rock a look so sultry, we’ll rush to the nearest store to try and copy it.
Of course, events like the People’s Choice Awards are infamous for celebrities stepping outside of their comfort zone and trying new looks. Hemlines are shorter, makeup is bolder, and slits are higher. Most of the time, their efforts pay off and these looks become part of their long line of successes...and then, there are outfits that leave us wondering who let them leave the house.

Click through for a list of the ten outfits that didn’t quite land.
