13 Celebrity Outfits That Left Really Controversial Impression. Olympics Games 2024 Pics Included

Celebrities often put a lot of thought into their outfits for major events. While some dresses fade from memory, others spark significant reactions from critics and the public, leaving a lasting impression. Even if the feedback isn’t always positive, it can still bring a lot of attention to the celebrity and their style. So stars continue to surprise us from year to year.

Elizabeth Banks

At the 2024 Prelude to the Olympics, Hollywood star Elizabeth Banks dazzled in a chic little black minidress with a satin bust. Her ensemble stood out with a unique and playful touch — a blue fabric flower at the hemline. The blue fabric extended to the floor, and although it seemed meant to add a whimsical element, the result was controversial.

Ellie Goulding

At the recent British Academy Film Awards, the singer appeared in a lavish dark grey dress. But it was the gown’s long sleeves that made the biggest impression on everyone. It was this detail of the dress that immediately became the focus of many Internet memes.

Chrissy Teigen

A daring no-pants outfit sometimes looks really great, but Chrissy Teigen’s choice for the Olympic opening ceremony made a stir. One person noted on comments to her post, “Mommy wears less clothing than the kids. How is your husband not embarrassed by this?” While she usually nails her looks, this particular style felt out of place for a sports event with her husband, John Legend, and their children.

Katy Perry

In 2017, the singer appeared at the Met Gala in an absolutely mind-blowing scarlet outfit, which consisted of layers of fabric and lace with embedded metallic detail. Perry’s head was covered by a veil, over which she wore an elaborately designed headpiece that even included a side mirror. The outfit sparked much discussion online as people tried to figure out what it reminded them of and whether it was approved by the event organizers.

Snoop Dogg

At the star-studded Prelude to the Olympics gala, Snoop Dogg made a grand entrance in a shimmery blazer paired with dazzling accessories, truly pulling out all the stops with his standout look.

Rihanna

In 2015, the Met Gala ball was dedicated to Chinese culture. It was there that the singer appeared in an amazing golden outfit with an incredibly long train. This image inspired many memes (it was compared to an omelette or a pizza) and as a result became one of the most popular Internet searches for years to come.

Harry Styles

The singer has repeatedly been criticized for choosing feminine outfits. When Styles appeared in a dress on the cover of Vogue magazine, some critics were unhappy with his look. However, many people came to the musician’s defense, both celebrities and ordinary Internet users alike. Styles himself believes that everyone can wear whatever they like, and he’s not about to go against his own taste.

Rosalia

It’s evident that celebrities attending the Olympics and its related events aim to make bold fashion statements, but not all outfits hit the mark. Musician Rosalía appeared at the Prelude to the Olympics in a crochet see-through maxi dress by Dior that certainly caught everyone’s attention. While some praised the daring look, some critics felt it was poorly tailored, with an excess of fabric around her bust that became especially noticeable whenever she moved her arms.

Timothée Chalamet

The unusual detail of the outfit, which the actor wore to the Golden Globe Awards, intrigued many Internet users. Most people thought the shiny black item was some sort of harness that gave Chalamet’s image a certain edge. However, Timothée himself admitted that the item was just a vest, and he didn’t even expect there to be so much interest in his outfit.

Kim Kardashian

At the Met Gala 2022, Kim Kardashian briefly appeared in a dress that once belonged to Marilyn Monroe. It was this fact, rather than the look of the outfit itself, that caused a lot of controversy both in the press and online. People were worried that Kardashian might accidentally damage the rare dress. Additionally, the very idea that celebrities could wear museum pieces seemed wrong and even dangerous to many.

Tyla

At the Olympics prelude event, Water singer Tyla opted for a relaxed vibe with oversized parachute pants and a petite bralette. While the outfit had potential, the bralette was so small that it revealed her under-boob. The stark contrast between the voluminous pants and the ultra-tiny top felt a bit too jarring.

Katie Holmes

At the end of 2022, the actress arrived at a concert wearing an outfit that reminded many of the fashion trends of the early 2000s. The image of Holmes in a top and jeans immediately went viral online and became a top discussion item. Some criticized the star and the designer for this choice, but Brie Welch, the stylist behind the outfit, noted that they wanted to create something fresh and yet comfortable. In any case, the women succeeded in capturing the attention of the public.

Robert Pattinson

Robert Pattinson took his place in the front row at the Dior Homme Fall 2023 Menswear Show in Paris, sporting a bold blue skirt. He complemented the skirt with an oversized, textured brown jacket featuring a sharp lapel and a mock zip-neck insert. Underneath, Pattinson chose a classic stark white top to balance the look. He finished his outfit with a pair of striking knee-length chunky boots, distinguished by their pronounced round toe.

Celebrities can surprise fans with their outfits not just at big events, but also in everyday life and on TV shows. Whether it’s a stunning dress on the red carpet or a questionable look on a casual outing, their fashion choices can make headlines and catch everyone’s attention.
