Being a darling in glamorous attire is sometimes easier than rocking a fun or edgy ensemble.
While most red carpet events have a strict glam wear policy, a few festivals, such as the iHeartRadio Music Festival, encourage celebrities to bring out their edgier personalities. Not everyone, however, can easily translate the idea into awe-inspiring looks.
Here are some ladies who tried but failed to do the fun/edgy look at the iHeartRadio Music Festival red carpet:
1. Hilary Duff in Anthony Vaccarello
Hilary Duff wore a sexy leather mini dress by Anthony Vaccarello, which showed off her cleavage and super-toned body. While we love how this hot momma takes care of her figure, we’re not big fans of her dress.

The leather works very well, and the cutout is hot, but the ruffled metallic detail on the side is really distracting.
Best known for her role as Lizzie McGuire, she styled the dress with “So Kate” pumps by Christian Louboutin and accessorized with Alexis Bittar bangles and Renee Sheppard Deco diamond drop earrings.

2. Iggy Azalea in Figure Skater Dress
Iggy Azalea ignited the stage with her performance at the event, but she fell short with her outfit on the arrivals’ red carpet. Wearing a multicolored dress with side slits that displayed her underwear, Iggy looked like a pop star from the ’80s era.

The barrage of details—studs, sequins, and a belt—made the colorful dress look busier, thus making it appear more like an eyesore.

3. Sophia Bush in Monique Lhuillier
We love Sophia Bush, and there’s no denying that she looked glowing with her honey hair and skin. However, the dress choice was a failure.

Sophia chose to wear a see-through Monique Lhuillier mesh dress, revealing a nude-colored undergarment.
Chad Michael Murray’s ex-wife has a great figure, but we prefer it covered with sophisticated outfits. She styled it with a Rauwolf Octagon clutch and Christian Louboutin “Iriza” half-d’Orsay pumps in nude patent leather.

4. Taryn Manning in Yellow Lace Dress
Orange Is the New Black star Taryn Manning may just be the worst dressed of the night. The petite celebrity wore a floor-length lace dress in bright yellow and paired it with an ill-fitting sequined shrug.

She finished the look with messy bedhead hair and dark-colored lips, further damaging the clashing ensemble.
