Who was the biggest mess at the GQ Awards: Pippa, Lindsay, Cara or Rita?

125227PCN_GQAward42

Here are some fashion photos from last night’s GQ Men of the Year Awards. I find it difficult to comprehend that Kim Kardashian, Pippa Middleton, Benedict Cumberbatch and Lindsay Lohan were ALL at the same event at the same time. God knows, they might have even exchanged words with each other. Would the Cracken even try to speak to Cumberbatch?! Would Kim Kardashian approach Pippa? It’s so crazy to consider.

Anyway, let’s start with Pippa, who seems like the weirdest choice for this event. Pippa wore this too-conservative Hugo Boss dress. Considering her style is always pretty awful and if you go into it with low expectations, this isn’t so bad. A few things: the in-between length does nothing for her, this should be either a full-length gown or a knee-length cocktail dress. And she needs a more supportive bra. She could do with better foundation garments overall.

Cara Delevingne in Burberry Prorsum. This whole thing is a mess and it’s a mess because it’s Cara. I feel like she’s about two stunt-queen moves away from either a major arrest or rehab. She looks strung out in a big way. She also wore some weird thing in her lip. I think it was supposed to look like a cherry?

Rita Ora in Zuhair Murad. I give her some points for being so try-hard. And this is like the first photo I’ve seen of her where I think the blonde works. The bust on the dress is too tight though. Needs better tailoring overall.

Yes, Lindsay Lohan walked the carpet. The Cracken was unleashed! Speaking of strung out… do you think Lindsay walked in on Cara in the bathroom or did Cara walk in on Lindsay?

And finally, Pharrell Williams. I realize the boots are Chanel and the hat is probably Westwood and the whole ensemble probably costs more than my house, but my goodness, if you’re going to spend that much money, why not just wear a suit? It sure costs a lot of money to look cheap.

    Pippa’s fake tan is really awful.

    • Snazzy says:

      Yes! That’s the first thing that caught my eye too! I do not understand people’s need to fake tan. No matter how they try, it always looks terrible!

    • lower-case deb says:

      i fear that she might’ve entered the wrong shop.
      i swear, i thought that only furniture shops has that kind of mahogany hues… not beauty salons?

    • lisa says:

      yes although i just came from the kat faced vase thread and pippa looks really good to me right now

  2. Brin says:

    Cara and Lilo are twin nightmares.

    • Megan says:

      Pippa is at least 10 layers of ugh, and that does not include the fact she worked the same red carpet as the Cracken.

    • starrywonder says:

      Can we pass a resolution that there are no more pics of Lilo blowing kisses? I seriously shrieked at that pic.

    • FLORC says:

      I actually really like Lindsey’s dress. Just not on her. Something about her exposed leg makes me think she’s just in terrible shape. The pale skin aside (since she is fair to begin with) there’s no tone and her leg appears bloated.
      The dress though is great imo.

      • Hazel says:

        I agree. From the side, she has a middle-aged woman’s body–kind of thick through the middle, sagging breasts, and a flat rear end (apologies to middle-aged women everywhere!).

      • Jarredsgirl says:

        Really? Look at the shoulders of the dress. It doesn’t sit right. There is also a seam right down the middle. Not to mention that the dress makes her look very short and as you say, bloated.

        I think Pippa looks fine, aside from her posture. She needs to stand taller.

        Cara’s dress is okay, if you are into that kind of lingerie-look. But the dress is too short in my opinion. Full length would have looked better. That “cherry” thing is stupid though.

  3. Lilacflowers says:

    They’re all pretty bad, verging on ridiculous. Pippa’s could be salvaged if it were shorter and she wore a better bra but the others are all beyond hideous. But none are as bad as Kim Kardashian.

    • Hazel says:

      Agree. And maybe Pippa could have tried a less matchy-matchy clutch (but that seems to be a Middleton habit). And I must admit, I love KK & Cara–for the sheer train-wreck value & jaw-dropping WTF dress sense.

    • No. Pippas is just too sad. Like she was going to one of those Royal events where all the women wear calf-length “sensible” outfits that make everyone look 63 years old, whether they are 19 or 75 to begin with. The neckline is not right for her, it smashes her boobs in and makes them appear lower than they should be in the dress. I have the same issue with crew necklines sometimes. She has sloping shoulders, so this worsens it. The colour is TERRIBLE on her, and the shoes look budget.

      The rest of them are in a lower bracket: The Kardashian bracket. Awful, the lot of you. Now go home and change!

  4. Tanguerita says:

    did Pippa go to the Sun and back? Because she certainly looks like she did.

  5. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    Everybody looks awful and nobody is going to the same party.

  6. Charlotte says:

    I’m seeing phantom nipple in the Pippa pics.

  7. Eleonor says:

    I’ve read someone nicknamed Pippa and Kate the Middletan sisters…

  8. Mylene says:

    THE MORE AWFUL WAS KIM KATRASHIAN

  9. Um says:

    Cara spent yesterday crying in front of a Bella Italia restaurant in South Kensington, so I suspect she wasnt having the best day…

    • Zapp Brannigan says:

      That just gave me a mental image of her crying her heart out, “please, some carbs, pasta, bread anything, please”. I too have known the unrequited love of pasta and bread, the heartbreaking bast*rds!

  10. MrsBPitt says:

    Wow, an event were someone looks more strung out than Lilo….Cara, my dear, get thyself to rehab…and burn that outfit on the way….

  11. MissWilson says:

    Lindsay’s hair looks like she slept in the gutter. Her dress is horrendous. Her only saving grace is that she finally got rid of her patchy orange fake tan. Thank God. Pippa isn’t horrible. She’s not a red carpet regular I’ll cut her slack. She didn’t look amazing but she didn’t look bad.

    • Aussie girl says:

      Her dress looks like something the golden girls would wear. I feel like I get contact high just looking at cara

    • Miffy says:

      Fun fact: Lindsay Lohan wasn’t actually invited to the event. She just happened to have past out in a gutter somewhere nearby, was roused by the sounds of camera shutters and lurched Walking Dear style towards the lights, music and photographers, still bedazzled in last night’s cluster f*ck ensemble.

      And because the British are too awkward and polite they let her pretend/delude.

  12. Trishizle says:

    I don’t get the thing on Cara’s lip

    • Miffy says:

      Bedazzled coldsores. Massive for AW14. MASSIVE!

    • Hazel says:

      I thought she was sucking on some sort of cocktail toothpick–you know, the decorated kind, like maybe with a little olive or something. Weird accessory.

  13. Esmom says:

    Even with low expectations, Pippa still manages to miss the mark. So matronly!

  14. SpookySpooks says:

    Rita looks great, all the others look awful, although Cara’s makeup is really pretty.
    I would even say Pharrell was the biggest mess.

    • We Are All Made of Stars says:

      Yeah, she looks like a pinup girl which is clearly what she’s going for. Although the fit of this dress makes her look like somebody is standing behind her trying to crush all the air out of her, she still looks hot, which is the desires effect. I have trouble discerning the dress code for this event, but I think she’s the one who’s overdressed.

    • Pri says:

      I agree about Rita! Whenever she tries she gets it right. She is naturally beautiful, you know, I don’t understand why she tries to be ghetto/boho/ white trash,etc. she only manages to look cheap and try hard. But when she cleans up, she cleans up well.

      Cara looks good above shoulders. That’s just too much lace and…..Arrgh! I hate this trend among celebs of wearing corset bodysuit/panties/whatever with sheer/ see through skirts/dresses over it. It looks cheap, people. It screams TRASHY. Don’t you see it? Its like the Kartrashions are everywhere. So disgusting!

      Lilo, Pippa – Sigh. No comments.

    • Rocketmerry says:

      I concur, Rita looks decent, for a change. Thank goodness I’m not alone on that one.

  15. NewWester says:

    Lindsay blowing kisses and Cara looking like a train wreck. What a perfect matched pair

  16. Lucy2 says:

    Lohan’s dress/shoes combo is horribly unflattering.
    Pippa looks matronly and too tan.
    Rita’s dress could be pretty on the right person for the right event , but on her here? No.

  17. Chrissy says:

    I kinda like Pippa’s dress but not on her and not at this party.
    Also, she has not only the worst fake tan but also the worst posture!

    • sisi says:

      let’s be real: only Rita Ora is standing upright here, they all suffer from horrible posture. It’s a terrible collection of pictures overall

    • Eleonor says:

      that is my same thought: the dress is great but girl stand straight !

    • HH says:

      I like the dress on her. She went wrong with the other parts of the outfit: shoes, hair, and accessories, which makes her look far too matronly.

  18. teatimeiscoming says:

    im guessing lohan and deleveigne were quite friendly in the loo at this event

  19. Lex says:

    If Lindsay happened 5 years later or Cara 5 years earlier, they would have been a way ‘better’ couple than Linds and Samantha. Both crack head sexually ‘adventurous’ attention whores!

  20. Chris says:

    This is all too, too….tawdry. Final days of the Roman Empire and all that.
    Cara Delawhoosh exemplifies pretty much everything that’s harmful about counting ‘followers’ and ‘likes’ before breakfast.

  21. Mrs. Darcy says:

    I think Pippa’s dress is actually very pretty, though something about it on her is not quite right. She has quite an athletic neck (I suffer from it too), so it’s just a bit too high/tight. On someone with a swan neck it would be perfect. Her hair, tan and shoes are a disaster, looks like she raided Mama Middleton’s closet.

    • Erinn says:

      I agree – it’s a super pretty dress, but it just doesn’t look right on her.

    • Jen says:

      Agreed. I was reading through comments and wondering “So… Are we not going to talk about Pippa’s shoes???”. Because yikes!

      • RedMarine says:

        Yep, those shoes were the first thing I noticed about her outfit – horrid. They look like something my Mum wore in the 80’s.

  22. Victoria1 says:

    Nude color belongs on bras, underwear and pantyhose and the must have Spanx. I’m tired of the naked look, wear some damn color ladies

  23. Mon says:

    Rita looks the best out of the whole bunch. Pippa is so pretty but the dress, makeup and hairdo don’t do her any favours, if anything they make her look much older than she is. Plus the look is simply boring

    • Josephine says:

      I really liked Rita’s dress and it fit her well. And I didn’t hate Lindsay’s dress but am distracted by her hair color. Every one of them look better that Kim.

  24. Brynne142 says:

    What is with the granny panties everyone is wearing now? Cara & Kim at this event. JLo has been wearing them while performing. They just look matronly and unflattering on anyone.

  25. Jlee says:

    Lindsay & that blowing kisses with her slug lips pose kills me! She looks polluted per usual.

  26. Talie says:

    Lindsay looks like such a smacked ass… still doing that blow kiss.

  27. Anna says:

    Pippas boobs look really saggy, the dress is so unflattering in the chest. But I think Lindsay looks the worst, her makeup and hair are horrible and the dress is fugly

  28. Mia4S says:

    The quality of men at this event was strong. The quality of women? Well…it varied. There were some good UK actresses there as presenters but really, Londoners, none of us will think you rude if you kick out the Cracken and miscellaneous reality star garbage from America. Frankly, we’d applaud.

    • Mom2two says:

      I think overall the men looked better than the women this year…even the men who wore tuxes I didn’t like. The best dressed woman was Natalie Dormer, by far. I think Jenna Coleman might come in a distant second…by the virtue of the fact that I was not feeling what most of the women were wearing there.
      Richard Madden and Douglas Booth were the best dressed men. Cumberbatch wears a suit well but that tux was not my favorite for him. Dan Stevens and Jamie Dornan ( oh and Luke Evans)… worst dressed men there. Forgot to add, as skeevy as I find Gerald Butler, he was one of the better dressed men.

      • Mia4S says:

        I think I’d put Jenna ahead of Natalie (love the colour of the dress, hate the cut) but they’re both gorgeous. I have a soft spot for Jenna. She’s my height and, poor thing, I think Peter Capaldi is even taller than the last Doctor! She’s going to spend a lot of time standing on boxes. 🙂

        Spot on with the men. Hard to make Jamie Dornan look bad -hard but clearly possible.

  29. melissa says:

    Why do people like Lohan, the Jenner girls, and Adrienne Maloof insist on blowing kisses to the camera? So stupid.

    Pippa. Your skin color is not organic in nature. Stop with the fake tan.

  30. kri says:

    None of them look good-Pippa stole a Mother of The Bride dress, Lilo stole whatever dress she could “borrow” without getting caught, Rita “stole” a dress Calvin Harris bought her before they broke up, and Cara well…I think she has put her coke spoon in the wrong orifice. The true disaster of the nite was the North’s mom and her stylist, Kanye.

  31. serena says:

    God, I hate when she does the kiss pose more than anything. It’s just gross. Also she has no shape and wearing that kind of dress is a giant NO. (not bodyshaming here, just saying she did that to herself with booze and drugs).

  32. girlnbayou says:

    Wow, these styles are all over the place. It’s like a melange of ugly.

  33. Bucky says:

    I really like the midi length here on Pippa, actually, but I hate the top, the hair, and the tan. What if the top had had like a jewel necklace neckline in a great color? I would like to have seen that.

  34. enya says:

    You know, Lindsay has looked bad on red carpets for years, but here, for the first time (for me), she looks like she simply doesn’t belong. She looks like a not-that-attractive woman from middle America who won a “walk the red carpet!” raffle and bought a $100 dress at the mall. Here she seems to have lost that indefinable thing that makes “celebrity” out of human material. She just looks DONE.

  35. MaryShaw says:

    Pull up the boobs and the hair a bit higher, Pippa. But otherwise it’s nice to see her, almost a girl next door having fun just like the rest of these cracked up celebrities.

  36. MaryShaw says:

    Pippa would really win if she hired a stylist. She’s going to be photographed often anyway so why not have fun with it and up your game? I know she can afford one and she has a good body, not flawless (like most of us) but athletic and slim. She just doesn’t have a good sense of style. Just look at her choice of shoes with the dress. If I were her I’d get at part time stylist and run with it!

    • Pager90 says:

      Pippa does work with stylists and hair people. I think she takes the garment or dresses home to her flat in the city ,though and goes with her own ideas for accessories out of the Middleton ladies closet. Hence the grandma shoes.

  37. Paloma says:

    Not on the list, but Kim K. Was the worst.

  38. Mischa Jane says:

    I don’t mind any of these looks on the people wearing them, except for Lindsay’s. I loathe animal prints in general, and this zebra-ish print is just not good. The colors are not good with her coloring at all. And those 80s era shoes are fug.

  39. Diana B says:

    Why so orange, Pipa? And dear Cracken, STOP blowing kisses. Thank you.

  40. Mike says:

    There needs to be an international committee to put a stop to runaway awards shows. It is ridiculous how many of these things there are. That being said I want those boots Pharrell is wearing

  41. Alexa says:

    I have to admit – I find looking at all of these unusually fancy celeb get-ups to be both entertaining and addictive. Do we REALLY want them to edit their looks?

  42. shix says:

    Until now I hadn’t understood the concept of a girl making a dress look bad. Rita’s dress I think is so gorgeous on a classy lady and better tailoring in the boob area, it has potential to be breathtaking but alas, the wearer…. Lilo’s dress isn’t so bad either, but would need someone different to pull it off.

  43. wow says:

    Pippa shouldn’t even be in this equation. She looks fine and appropriate.

    • Pager90 says:

      Pippa looks dowdy and matronly n that dress and shoes, I think it’s the length and the way the top is cut.

  44. BadAssCompass says:

    LiLo almost pulled it, had it been a better, pulled, hairstyle and some other shoes. She looks kind of…recovered?

  45. Reece says:

    Others have said all I have to say on the fashion far better than I so…Legit question:
    What do the Middleton women have against proper undergarments? I’m including Mummy in this question as well.

    Edit: Honestly I don’t think Pips look wouldn’t be so bad if not for lack of structure and posture.

  46. Palermo says:

    Nobody looked worse than Kim. Award for what?

    • Pager90 says:

      Except Lindsay Lohan, Cara s dress was worse than. Kim’s but Caras face, makeup,hair looked gorgeous.

  47. bettyrose says:

    I like goth as much as the next angsty teen, but visible granny panties are just troll bait. So awkward looking.

  48. Even Pippa’s shoes are heinous. Yikes. And Cara needs to chill.

  49. Pager90 says:

    What is about the. Middleton women and their shoes? The choices always seem a bit off, not fitting with the rest of the outfit . Pippa’s dress isn’t bad, it just looks a bit matronly but it’s ok.

    Cara’s outfit is rivaling KimK’s for bad. I think Cara’s is worse than Kim’s.

    Lindsay Lohan looks the worst, IMO She looks like a aging drunk who has seen better days.

    Cara’s makeup and hair was on point fabulous so I ll give her a pass.

    Rita Looks like she’s trying to be JLO but lacks confidence or the swagger.

  50. Pumpkin Pie says:

    Pippa needs to work on her posture. It is awful. And how about a bra?

  51. Dawn says:

    Well they all look awful but really Kim Kardashian looked worse in my opinion. Kim always looks trashy.

    • Pager90 says:

      I think Lindsay wins the trashy award this year.
      Kiim’s hair and makeup was flawless and she looked happy, healthy and glowing, whereas Limdsay Lohan looks tired, worn out and like she just woke up in her clothes after a all night bender.

  52. Bread and Circuses says:

    Maybe Lindsay has died and Dina has had a clever taxidermist freeze her head in that kissy-pose. Then the head is grafted onto a dress and sent via blotchy orange bruise-ridden animatronic legs to the nearest red carpet.

    Or maybe she just does that stupid pose waaaaaay too often.

  53. Dena says:

    Ok. I’ll ask. Why was Pippa there?

  54. Denise says:

    Never mind Pippa’s dress, her hair is always the worst! And that permanent bewildered expression? We don’t know why we’re looking at you either, Pippa. Thank your mum I guess for pushing your sister so hard.

  55. St says:

    Lindsay Lohan doesn’t have ass for that dress. Looks ridiculous.

  56. Vava says:

    Although I’m not a Pippa fan at all, I guess I’d rather look at her than the others, particularly Kim Kardashian. Geez, Kim is horrid and vain! Pips needs a new bra, better posture, stop with the spray tans, and a stylist and then we can talk. At least she’s not flashing her cleavage like Kardashian always does, I’m grateful for that.

    • Pager90 says:

      Kim’s hair and Makeup was on point gorgeous, the outfit is Stupid though.

      Pippa’s makeup and hair looks awful, like Wallis Simpson circa 1948, the dress was pretty but just too matronly.

  57. meh says:

    I would bet money that Lilo made that slit herself with a pair of scissors. The dress just looks like it wasn’t meant to hang that way, and there isn’t quite enough fabric to cover her. Plus she apparently has a history of taking scissors to designer gowns that she is loaned.

  58. Jenna says:

    Lindsay FTW… that dress looks horrible on her and those shoes to NOT match. Her skin is too pale for those tones. WHY DOES SHE KEEP DOING THAT KISS BLOWING POSE?! You’re not famous anymore, Lindsay, so stop it. You’re no starlet! No one wants your kisses! Yuck.

    I like Pippa’s dress A LOT but it definitely could be altered and the shoes aren’t right.
    Cara looks great, wacky, but great. She’s innovative.
    Rita is just blah. Definitely too tight!

  59. Kimberly says:

    Not a fan of Rita Ora but I love that dress though.

    Lindsey looks TERRIBLE as always, no surprise there but I agree with one of the comments above that her dress is beautiful but not on her.

    I like Pharrell but I have no comments on that outfit. LOL.

    Everyone else looks like a mess. Period.
