Nicola Roberts and Nancy Dell'Olio spent last night at London's infamous Groucho Club. Aside from praying that the pair were hanging out together and therefore in the running for Most Unlikely Celebrity BFFs EVA, we're struck by the two ladies' radically different approaches to dressing for the occasion.
While Nicola chose a demure below-the-knee and ankle boots...
...Nancy adhered to her tried and trusted 'cleavage 'n' leopard, hold the dignity' approach to dressing.
On the upside Nancy's look could have been worse...
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Tilda Swinton</strong> Unfortunately, Tilda's velvet Lanvin frock looked like a shapeless sack at the 2008 Academy Awards - and it's too dark and dense for the star's au naturel complexion. On the plus side, it didn't stop her from picking up the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in Michael Clayton.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Demi Moore</strong> This terrifying crime against fashion was committed at the Oscars in 1989. And Demi has no one to blame but herself - she designed the brocade-meets-bustier-meets-biker-shorts look.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Angelina Jolie</strong> Since she always looks so flawless on the red carpet these days, it's easy to forget Angelina's creepy gothic turn in this black Versace dress on the Oscars red carpet in 2000. Not so easy to forget the makeout session with her brother, though.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Michelle Williams</strong> Michelle donned this floral-appliqued Valentino number for the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards in 2011. The hippie-ish dress is totally unflattering - and the flowers look icky-cutesy instead of chic.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Charlize Theron</strong> We're pleased to report that Charlize survived the 78th Annual Academy Awards in 2006, despite being nearly suffocated by the insane amount of excess fabric on the Dior dress she donned.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Anne Hathaway</strong> It's apparent that this Golden Globe red carpet miss by Anne Hathaway in 2003 occurred before the star's Devil Wears Prada-days - the likes of this tasteless pseudo-prom dress would never be worn by the star today.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Christina Aguilera</strong> How many ways can a look go wrong? Well, at the Blockbuster Entertainment Awards in 2001, Christina showed that a slashed and fringed velvet dress, calf-height lace-up sandals, tacky gold accessories and disastrous hair and makeup will effortlessly destroy a red carpet look.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Jennifer Hudson</strong> Back in 2007, Hudson took home an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in Dreamgirls, but her red carpet fashion faux-pas was as talked about as her Academy Award. After the event, the star reportedly blamed Vogue editor Andre Leon Talley for advising her to wear the ill-fitting Oscar de la Renta python bolero and dress.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Helena Bonham-Carter</strong> The quirky Brit loves to defy convention on the red carpet, but her look at the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards in 2011 was just plain kooky, from the bird's nest hair down to the mismatched footwear. We wonder what the Vivienne Westwood frock would have looked like without the distracting accessories.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Geena Davis</strong> This ridiculous 80s taffeta wedding dress was actually worn by Davis for the Oscars in 1992. As if the dress itself wasn't outrageously bad, the opera gloves and black tights ensure the look remains immortalised on worst-dressed lists forevermore.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Kate Winslet</strong> In 1998, Kate was nominated for Best Actress in Titanic. Unfortunately, this green McQueen dress sunk on the Oscars red carpet, too.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Kate Hudson</strong> Though the actress was wearing top designer Stella McCartney for her red carpet turn at the 73rd Annual Academy Awards in 2001, the ageing hair and makeup (not to mention granny panties-effect of the dress) made Kate look decades older than her 21 years.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Lara Flynn Boyle</strong> While we love tulle skirts on the red carpet, dressing like a five-year-old heading to ballet class isn't doing anyone any favours. Lara's 2003 Golden Globes frock is down in history as one of the strangest red carpet ensembles ever.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Elizabeth Hurley and Pamela Anderson</strong> Liz Hurley and Pam Anderson won the award for joint trashiest red carpet ensemble in 2001, when they attended the Vanity Fair post-Oscar party together. While Pam's trashtastic uniform is terrible, Liz's glitzy Vegas Versace number isn't that much better.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Nicole Kidman</strong> Competing with the Oscar statuette to see who glimmers more is one thing, but it's the cut-off gloves that destroy this Dior look that Nicole donned in 2000. The red carpet of the Academy Awards isn't the place to experiment with biker chic - even when it's couture.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Maria Bello</strong> The actress attended the 2004 Golden Globe Awards in a white satin coat dress and 500,000 dangling necklaces (including some that were hanging by her calves). Fail.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Renee Zellweger</strong> For the Golden Globes in 2009, Renee donned this Carolina Herrera frock which looked more costume-y than chic. The hair makes it even worse.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Sarah Jessica Parker</strong> Once upon a time, even SJP made disastrous fashion choices. In 2003, she wore this bustier-pantsuit to the Golden Globes, along with that garish makeup.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Sharon Stone</strong> We're not sure what Sharon Stone was going for when she picked this sheer Versace frock for the Golden Globes in 2003, but it doesn't exactly scream "high class," especially when paired with the street walker boots and diamante choker.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Tilda Swinton</strong> For the BAFTAs in 2008, the always-creative Tilda Swinton donned this Dior dress. Unfortunately, it looks like the dress is wearing her, instead of the other way around.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Tyra Banks</strong> There's a fine line between fairy tale and fairy cake, and this frou-frou frock by Vera Wang that Tyra wore to the 2000 Oscars looks like a gown that only Barbie could pull off.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Uma Thurman</strong> Uma donned this couture Christian Lacroix dress to the Oscars in 2004, but the Swiss Miss looks better placed for an alpine yodelling session than an awards show.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Celine Dion</strong> Celine's backwards tuxedo from the 1999 Oscars was a Dior creation - but even that fact couldn't save this from being one of the most ridiculous looks to ever hit the red carpet.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Whoopi Goldberg</strong> It's a jungle out there, but we don't need to dress like the wildlife. This muu-muu practically engulfed Whoopi at the Oscars in 2009, swallowing up her hands and feet.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Diane Keaton</strong> Androgynous dressing has always been part of Diane Keaton's ethos, but she took the English gent look a little too far when she arrived at the 76th Annual Academy Awards in 2004 in this three-piece Ralph Lauren suit.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Gwyneth Paltrow</strong> Gwyneth's gothy makeup and braless approach did her no favours in the style stakes at the 2002 Oscars, when she wore this frock by McQueen.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Cher</strong> This Bob Mackie creation isn't the typical outfit an Oscar winner wears to collect their award (Cher took home the Best Actress statue for her work in Moonstruck when she wore this sheer gown in 1988), but nothing about Cher is typical, is it?
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Hayden Panettiere</strong> You'd be forgiven for mistaking this monstrosity by Marc Bouwer - which Hayden wore to the Emmy's in 2007 - for a maternity dress. At least it doubles as a tent if the weather fails.
Worst Ever Red Carpet Fashion
<strong>Kim Basinger</strong> In case you thought designing your own Academy Awards dress was a good idea, as Kim proved in 1990, too much creativity can be very, very bad. Factor in that she was dating Prince at the time, and things start to make a little more sense.
