Double Tap to Zoom

For the non-rich and famous, the best part of the Oscars isn't the awards ceremony — it's the red carpet.

Every spring, we steel ourselves for a night of Hollywood pageantry that, without fail, leaves viewers with one crucial takeaway: Lupita Nyong'o and Zendaya can do no wrong. Sadly, not everyone manages to pull off a 'fit — some don't even get close.

This year's Oscars has already sparked a firestorm of conversation regarding a certain celebrity slap. Will Smith vs. Chris Rock is a controversy sure to spawn thinkpieces aplenty, but we're more concerned with the crimes of fashion on flagrant display at last night's awards. (Joan Rivers, you are missed.)

With that said, we invite you on a stroll through the darkest sartorial moments of the 2022 Oscars.

Travis and Kourtney looked objectively okay in Margiela. What's not okay is the Blink-182 drummer's red carpet duck stance.
