Hollywood’s elite gathered for the 16th Annual Governors Awards in Los Angeles, an evening that promised an abundance of glitz and glamour. However, amidst the glittering affair, a few stars’ fashion choices left onlookers scratching their heads.

Among the notable attendees were Emily Blunt, Kate Hudson, and Amanda Seyfried, whose outfits sparked considerable discussion and some confusion. Their sartorial decisions seemed offbeat, especially in an event that saw Sydney Sweeney and Jennifer Lawrence topping the best-dressed lists with their dazzling ensembles.

Emily Blunt, typically celebrated for her chic style, surprised many with a bold red asymmetrical dress. The British actress, 42, donned a piece that featured avant-garde detailing at the neckline, reminiscent of a crumpled bow, which deviated from her usual sophisticated looks.

The striking dress also included sheer paneling, creating a peculiar V-shape that extended from her hips to her inner thigh, adding to the evening’s fashion missteps. While the effort to push boundaries in fashion is often applauded, this particular attempt seemed to miss the mark, according to some critics.

The bright number  also featured sheer paneling in a V-shape oddly positioned from her hips down to her inner thigh.

Her brunette tresses were pulled back in bun as she let her natural looks shine with complementary make-up.

She was joined on the red carpet by her The Smashing Machine co-star and frequent collaborator Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. 

Meanwhile, 46-year-old Hudson rocked a rather frumpy long-sleeved, green silk dress.

The ill-fitting number featured odd cutouts at the shoulders and down the sleeves.

She did have her hair and make-up done in a callback to old Hollywood glamour, however, it was not enough to make up for the rather hideous dress. 

Hudson was joined on the red carpet by her co-star in upcoming musical Song Song Blue Hugh Jackman.

Seyfried,  39, may have rocked the oddest look of all as she donned a brown and light pink polka dot off-the shoulder number.

The bizarre frock featured small furry bicep cuffs and a big pink silk bow at the chest. 

The Mamma Mia! star donned necklace featuring massive diamonds along with a matching earring set.

The Governors Awards, a prestigious honor bestowed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, recognize extraordinary lifetime achievement in cinema and exceptional contributions to the film industry. 

The Governors Awards are often an emotional affair. With no television cameras or band there to play you off during a speech, it’s a night where friends and colleagues get to pay tribute to that year’s honorary Oscar recipients, many of whom are later in life.
