Elizabeth Olsen

Elizabeth Olsen

It must be hard getting noticed when your sisters are Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, but based on this outfit, we think Lizzy here is doing a fine job. She clearly shares her siblings love of bag-lady attire, but she took it a little further with this potato-sack inspired piece. This outfit is the dictionary definition of shapeless. Seriously, we looked it up. (Bennett Raglin/Wire Image)

    Not even a woman in late pregnancy needs that kind of concealment. On a pretty woman, that look is a terrible waste of potential.

    I wonder if those girls were sexually abused when they were little. I mean, eating disorders and wearing clothes that hide your body are things that often manifest themselves in girls who have been abused.

    I find the title of this article absolutely atrocious. It makes it seem as if poverty is something to be ashamed of, and that anyone who cannot afford thousand-dollar clothes is a disgrace. This is not the first time Yahoo has written offensive articles, and I am starting to become quite upset with it!

Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie

'Hey man, let's go sit in a peace circle on the grass and discuss our mutual love for Gerry Garcia while smoking some of this super wacky tabacky.' We're not against tie-dye, or maxi dresses, but together, it's a little trippy. Add to that some long wavy hair and Nicole Richie could easily pass as a poster-child for Hippie Town, USA.

Jessica Stroup

Jessica Stroup

We've heard of mom jeans before, but mom shorts? Jessica Stroup of 90210 2.0 fame showed off these sweet, high-waisted short shorts (with pockets) the other day in LA. We predict these bad boys will be all the rage for Spring 2009. Pair them with some penny loafers and a dickie under a knitted sweater your grandma gave you when you were 8, and you will be the talk of the town. Guaranteed or your money back.

Pixie Geldof

Pixie Geldof

Pixie Geldof, daughter of illustrious singer/political activist Bob Geldof, certainly has her own unique sense of style. And by unique, of course, we mean inspired by crazy, alley-dwelling cat ladies. Were three animals of various colouring used to construct this jacket?  Is the climate in London akin to Siberia? Ah, who are we kidding? We can't be mad at a cute little pout like that!  (Tim Whitby/Wire Image)

Jewel

Jewel

You know when your older, cougar-ish Aunt wears a strapless dress to your family reunion? And her cleavage is heaving so much you're frightened she may explode from her dress? That's what Jewel reminds us of. She looks like she's holding her breath while sticking out her boobs in hopes that her dress won't fall down. That's a risky gamble you're taking there, Jewel.

Courtney Love

Courtney Love

We should just be happy Courtney Love is sober and fully clothed on the red carpet. But the design of this dress reminds us of those bikini body t-shirt old women sometimes wear to the beach. Here's a hint, they don't make you look skinnier. Those shoes also resemble torture devices and the 'Krusty the Klown' haircut is doing her no favours. (Michael Bezjian/Wire Image)

You gotta love a pencil skirt and we're even feeling the high-collared blouse but together, they just look matronly.

Jordin Sparks

Jordin Sparks

We know spring is here and everyone wants to break out their most colourful outfits, but this sandblasted sea-to-sky colour scheme is just unpleasant. Jordin's a beautiful girl but the huge, shapeless bottom of the dress is doing nothing for her figure. Some seagull decals would have been a great embellishment though. (Jeffrey Mayer/Wire Image)
