If you thought fashion faux pas are a thing of the past, think again.
No one (yes you read that right) is immune when it comes to committing one. And that includes the Bollywood elite. But then, if there is something much worse than falling prey to a bad outfit, it’s doing so in full public view, on a red carpet. *Sighs in disbelief*
As much as we hope that we could go back in time and unsee these sights, the truth is that we did SEE them. So here’s a roundup of the best of the worst fashion faux pas of 2018, courtesy some of your favourite celebs and their stylists.
Fair warning: You will have to live with it.
1. Ranveer Singh

For Filmfare awards in January, Ranveer Singh decided to turn up dressed in movie posters, quite literally. And while we usually admire his quirky and distinct sartorial preferences, this particular suit from Karrtik D, with its numerous homages, had too much going on for our liking.
2. Huma Quereshi

Speaking of suiting up, Huma Qureshi tried one too, and at Cannes nonetheless. Unfortunately, the beige and metallic suit did nothing to up the actress’s style quotient at the International film festival. Next time, maybe?
3. Madhuri Dixit

Is there a thing as too much pink? One look at Madhuri Dixit’s gown will tell you that there is. The shine, accompanied by the limp frills and weird cape just didn’t impress us.
4. Bipasha Basu

Walking as a showstopper for a designer is a big deal, we get it. But looking like that for Ruceru Couture’s Winter Festive showcase did Bipasha Basu no favours. From the fabric to the colour combination and the accessories, the entire outfit was a case of show-stopping attire gone horribly wrong.
5. Sonakshi Sinha

In case you didn’t know of ways you could go wrong with a LBD, here is one. Sonakshi Sinha paired her semi bling Rohit Gandhi+Rahul Khanna dress with a pair of heels which did nothing to elevate her look.
6. Karisma Kapoor

If it’s not bling, well its silver. Styled by Tanya Ghavri, Karisma Kapoor seemed to have donned the blingiest dress of them all. And as if it wasn’t enough, she (and her stylist) decided to go for an all-silver appearance to match the dress. Not futuristic, you guys.
7. Karan Johar

We normally trust Karan Johar to ace each trend and look like a pro, but at the much-hyped Ambani wedding, however, the case was a tad different. The excessive embroidery on the dark emerald sherwani was too random and a lot to take in.
8. Mouni Roy

There was literally a lot going on with Mouni Roy’s gown at the Vogue Beauty Awards. That (almost) navel deep neck, that high slit, that element of bling, that poorly done hairdo, and those gladiators? *cringe*
9. Malaika Arora

We are all in for maximalism, but if it looks like this, count us out for sure. Dressed in a Yumi Katsura Couture gown that incorporated a giant bow, a (sort of) cape, some really huge flowers and waves, this look was a no-no all the way.
10. Sonam K Ahuja

Never thought we would see Sonam on this list of Bollywood faux pas, but here we are. The reigning fashionista made a blunder at the HT style awards and a big one at that. We don’t know what to make of the raw edges, the untidy cape, and that visible lining on that dress. Hopefully, it’s the last time.
