Red carpet events are a dime a dozen in Hollywood, but that doesn’t mean we’re sick of watching stars strut their stuff for the cameras. In fact, it’s quite the contrary, as we know there will always be a handful of bold looks that really get us talking.
So, in honor of those fashion risk-takers, we’ve rounded up some of the most outrageous looks of the year, from Rita Ora’s literal bathrobe at the MTV Europe Music Awards to Girl Crush’s bubblegum pop ensemble at the Grammys.
These stars definitely took the adage “Go big or go home” to heart.
