The Lion star is known for taking fashion risks but unfortunately, they don't always pay off. In 2017, Kidman hit the red carpet in a sequined Alexander McQueen gown that featured awkward cut-out sleeves and a few too many poufy tulle details.

It's rare for the Grace and Frankie star to take a sartorial misstep, but it happened in 2016. The ruffles on her cream Yves Saint Laurent dress overwhelmed her small frame and the overall look was more stuffy than sleek.

Cate Blanchett

Between the tassels and intricate lace design, the '20s-inspired, pale pink Givenchy number that the Carol star wore in 2016 had a bit too much going on.

Lana Del Rey

We're sure Ariel would love this vintage Travilla dress that the "Summertime Sadness" songstress wore in 2015, but the aqua gown probably should've been left under the sea.

Rosamund Pike

We applaud the daring use of cut-outs on this white Vera Wang frock in 2015, but it just didn't sit right on Pike.

Jemima Kirke

The Girls star wore a shimmery caped crop top and long white skirt in 2015, and it's one of the more bizarre red carpet showings ever.

Drew Barrymore

Normally we dig Barrymore's flower power vibe, but the floral Monique Lhullier dress she donned while pregnant in 2014 looked like it was going to flutter off on its own.

Michelle Williams

The My Week with Marilyn starlet looked frumpy in a daisy-bedecked frock by Valentino in 2011.

Helena Bonham Carter

The Alice in Wonderland star's quirky Vivienne Westwood ensemble, which even included mismatched shoes, was all kinds of madness in 2011.

Diane Kruger

Getty Images
The Inglourious Basterds actress looked like a real-life Barbie doll in a bright pink Christian Lacroix gown featuring puffy sleeves in 2010.

Cher

Getty Images
Wearing a long-sleeved black velvet gown by Bob Mackie with a lace-up corset top, the diva appeared to be channeling Morticia Addams from The Addams Family in 2010.

Julianne Moore

Getty Images
This strapless gray Balenciaga gown with droopy off-the-shoulder ruffles and an oddly placed slit just didn't do the A Single Man actress justice in 2010!

Renee Zellweger

Getty Images
The Bridget Jones's Diary star turned heads on the carpet, but for all the wrong reasons, in this Carolina Herrera design that combined a high-waisted mermaid skirt and see-through top, putting her nude bustier on full display in 2009.

Vanessa Williams

While the Ugly Betty actress' gold strapless Carmen Marc Valvo gown was gorgeous, it was overshadowed by her over-the-top hair and fur bolero in 2007.

Diane Kruger

Even Kruger looked a bit perplexed by her magic carpet ride of a dress in 2005.

Paula Abdul

Getty Images
The former American Idol judge opted for a strapless gown that hugged her own golden globes a little too tightly in 2005.

Sarah Jessica Parker

Getty Images
The Sex and the City starlet had a rare fashion misstep and should have taken a style cue from Carrie Bradshaw before stepping out in this interesting number in 2003.

Sharon Stone

The Agent X actress sported a get-up that was biker chic meets goth for the red carpet in 2003.

Lara Flynn Boyle

Wearing a pink leotard with a tutu and lace-up ballet slippers, the Twin Peaks actress looked like she should be turning pirouettes, not heads, on the red carpet in 2003.

Cate Blanchett

Getty Images
The Lord of the Rings star attempted to pull off a confusing pinstriped suit with puffy sleeves in 2002.

Kim Cattrall

Getty Images
The Sex and the City star appeared to be heading to prom in a purple frock and matching accessories in 2001.

Courtney Love

The rocker is never one to shy away from a fashion risk. Case in point: This shredded Galliano dress that leaves her on the verge of a wardrobe malfunction in 2000.

Gwyneth Paltrow

Before she was her flawless Goop self, there were some red carpet stumbles. The Shakespeare in Love actress apparently forgot to put any kind of effort into her look in 2000, rocking brown pants and a revealing yellow tank.

Keri Russell

The Felicity alum looked more ready to hit the beach than a red carpet when she stepped out at the 1999 awards show.

Cameron Diaz

Proving the '90s were a very weird time for fashion, the There's Something About Mary actress paired a floral kimono with black trousers and pointy heels in 1999.

Fran Drescher

It takes two to tango, but it only took one to wear this massive floral headpiece and two-toned, semi-sheer white dress in 1996.

Julia Roberts

We're all for the menswear look, but this ill-fitting, baggy gray suit didn't do the pretty woman justice in 1990. At least she took home a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for her role in Steel Magnolias.

Melanie Griffith

We know the '80s was a very different time for fashion, but this rainbow design was over-the-top even for 1987.

Whoopi Goldberg

We love Whoopi, but this all-yellow ensemble (sweatsocks included!) topped with a white cardigan was made for the gym, not the 1986 Globes.
