While the rest of us are getting our summer wardrobes together, it seems the warm weather vibe has stalled on the celebrity front. A few stars have tried out some looks that reflect the summer season, but they clearly have their heads in the sand, because their outfits aren’t cutting it. Who made this week’s list of style setbacks?
Model and actress Paz de la Huerta tried to stuff a body suit (or bathing suit?) into a pair of jeans, but attempted to stay classy by wearing a bra underneath her top. Teen Wolf‘s Crystal Reed also missed the mark, while DJ Kiss donned a dizzying cocktail dress.
Naturally, there were off-putting ensembles elsewhere in the celebrity world. And to find out who hit stylish high notes among fashion’s tone-deaf, watch Big Morning Buzz Live‘s Fashion Friday crew tell us what’s what in the video below.
