Whether you were watching on the communal television in Mews or hosting your own viewing party in Collegetown, this year’s Grammys were quite the experience. Watching the good, the bad, and the absolutely horrible walk the red carpet seemed to be an acceptable waste of time and a welcome escape from our rigorous schedules. Even theSkimm knows — the Grammys are important, historical, and rich in creativity. And by “rich in creativity,” we don’t just mean the wide array of genres – from Taylor’s “Shake It Off” to John Adams’ 35-minute “City Noir.” We’re also talking about the apparel.

Yes, we’re referring to that time Traci Bingham wore this…

…in public.

 

Live from Ithaca, here are the worst dressed of the Grammys 2015:

8.

This is awesome, so we’ll keep it at number eight. We appreciate the statement Joy Villa is making, but she is essentially naked. Her style decision must not be ignored. She almost rocks it…but can anyone look good in a dress made of recycled fencing material?

 

7.

What was Ricky Dillard thinking? We don’t understand. Aside from that fluorescent yellow he has going there, he is donning a black rose printed tuxedo jacket.

 

6. Jeannie Mai, we expected better. Aren’t you supposed to be a fashion expert on the Style Network series How Do I Look?

You look like a gold embellished Black Swan. In the nicest way possible, of course.

 

5. This next one is just scary. Little Maddie Ziegler from Dance Moms both impressed and petrified us in Sia’s “Chandelier” music video – now she just petrifies us.

I don’t know about you, but when we were 12, we were into ugly makeovers at Sephora and scrapbooking. Maybe we were boring?

 

4.

Rihanna is definitely asking for it here. Don’t agree? You must really like cupcakes.

 

3. If you’re coulrophobic, please do not scroll down. Matsodon guitarist Bill Kelliher seemed to have confused his Sunday night plans with that of a birthday entertainer…

We’re only a little amused.

2. Here’s Madonna in what appears to be a French maid costume.

To be fair, she is from England. But here in America, Halloween is in October.

You get us, Obama.

1. And last – but certainly not least – we present Charli XCX. The English singer songwriter came in a full-blown bunny suit, fur and all. She literally stole Easter this year. Sorry kids.

*sigh* Youths.
