Oscars 2024 WORST-dressed stars revealed: Academy Awards red carpet is blighted ... trends now
The Oscars 2024 carpet is playing host to some of the biggest and brightest stars in Hollywood tonight - however it is also serving as the backdrop to some of awards season's most shocking faux pas.
As we come to the end of yet another awards season, one thing is painfully clear to see at the 96th Academy Awards: some stars just haven't learned their style lessons.
Even before the official red carpet coverage had begun, several stars had already put a rather unstylish foot forward at the ceremony, with The Cosby Show star Erika Alexander among some of the earliest arrivals who missed the mark with their ensemble for the evening.
The 54-year-old screen star and writer wore a rather baffling gown that featured a simple white strapless silhouette, which would have been incredibly elegant, had it not been for the enormous black, purple, pink, and green tutu-style skirt that was strung around her waist, covering much of the simple dress design underneath.
Although Billie Eilish is known for her boundary-breaking fashions, she drew the eye for all the wrong reasons at this year's Academy Awards.

Australian actress Claudia Doumit left very little to the imagination in her see-through gown
The 31-year-old certainly found herself walking a thin line between avant garde and over-the-top
YouTube star Liza Koshy's gown was absolutely stunning - but the insanely high heels she chose to wear with it led to red carpet disaster when she toppled over in front of the cameras
The 27-year-old, who shot to fame as an online star, initially appeared to have scored a style win when she stepped out on the red carpet in a stunning dark red gown - until she plummeted to the floor
British actress Andrea Riseborough's tartan gown was an incredible eyesore - and clashed with the red carpet
While Julia Fox didn't attend the ceremony itself, she did her best to steal all the attention over at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy viewing party in an eye-popping ensemble that left absolutely nothing to the imagination
The model and actress, who is known for her very unique style, wore a baffling ensemble that featured nothing but two gold discs over her nipples
Wearing a tweed black-and-white skirt, white button down, and a rigid black blazer, the 22-year-old looked more like a naughty Catholic schoolgirl than a chart-topping music sensation.
That image was not helped by the addition of some white calf-length socks under her black heels, which she had scrunched down slightly - emphasizing the schoolgirl look even more.
Although Julia Fox did not actually attend the Oscars ceremony itself, she did her utmost to drag attention away from the awards show when she turned up at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy viewing party in an incredibly eye-popping ensemble that saw her going virtually topless.
The glittery black dress featured a skirt, sheer panels over her ribcage, and then nothing but two tiny gold discs to cover her nipples, each of which were held up by chunky gold chains.
All in all, she looked both shocking - and very uncomfortable.
Back at the ceremony itself, Australian actress Claudia Doumit did her all to capture the attention of spectators at the Oscars by donning a very scandalous see-through dress that hugged every curve of her body - even leaving her belly button on full display of the waiting photographers.
YouTube star Liza Koshy also landed herself a place on the worst-dressed list at this year's awards ceremony - not because of her gown, but rather the insanely high heels that she chose to pair with it, which proved so hard for her to walk in that she ended up taking an embarrassing tumble in front of the photographer as she made her way down the red carpet.

Melissa McCarthy suffered a rare style mishap on the red carpet in her red-and-pink gown - the sleeves of which featured bizarre swathes of fabric that looked like a sheet had been hot-glued to it at the last minute
Nikki Novak continued the tulle trend in an voluminous pink number, which not only clashed awfully with the red carpet, but left her resembling a rather saccharine cake topper
Killers of the Flower Moon actress Janae Collins was another star seen sporting a tutu-style tulle number gone wrong
Composer Laura Karpman's baffling sequin-covered ensemble made her look like she was cosplaying as the Tin Man - while the sunglasses and shoes would have been better used as part of a Halloween costume
DJ Kiss also struggled to make a positive style impact in her over-the-top silver gown, which featured both a very busty neckline and a sky-high
