We’ve already taken a look at the outfits worn by Gwen Stefani, Paris Hilton, Ciara, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga, Iggy Azalea, Katy Perry, Beyonce Knowles, Taylor Swift, Madonna, and Ariana Grande at the 2015 Grammy Awards held at the Staples Center on Sunday in Los Angeles.
However, we’ve not yet featured some attendees who received the harshest reviews from the fashion critics. Here’s a look at 7 of the worst dressed:
1. Kim Kardashian in Jean Paul Gaultier

Taking a Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2015 Couture piece out for a spin, Kim Kardashian opted for a belted, robe-style gown that suffered no shortage of embellishment.
The sparkling brushed bronze dress featured bold shoulders, cuffs, and pockets, all adorned with a deco-inspired beaded design, making it a standout yet weighty choice for the red carpet.

The ShoeDazzle founder completed her shimmering bronze look with striking gold ankle-lock sandals from Tom Ford, adding a touch of modern glamour to the heavily embellished gown.

5. Madonna in Givenchy Corset
While we appreciate her courage, Madonna’s Givenchy corset creation did not work. It also did not help that she later flashed her butt to the cameras.

6. Meghan Trainor in Galia Lahav Gown

7. Kat Graham in Yanina Couture
