Fans say Whoopi looks more like Princess Fiona than Hollywood idol.

| From Cinderella's Godmother to Jim Carrey's Riddler - these stars draw unflattering comparisons for their red carpet looks
|
AFTER months of anticipation the jewel in the crown of the awards season is finally upon us. Tonight the stars of the big screen descended on Hollywood for the Oscars, held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
 |
| Whoopsi ... Goldberg's attempt to replicate Bette Davis' dress backfires
|
 |
| Glum for Klum ... Heidi's look flopped |
But when it comes to style, these stars certainly won't be winning any awards for their frightful frocks. Whoopi Goldberg wore a black satin dress inspired by the one worn by Bette Davis in All About Eve.
 |
| Bra-vo ... Reese Witherspoon's dress fit awkwardly around the bust
|
 |
| Bin bag ... Jacqueline West's dress failed to impress
|
But we're not sure the look has quite the same effect with that enormous octopus ring and eye-catching tattoo. Heidi Klum raised eyebrows for all the wrong reasons with this lilac chiffon frock designed by Marchesa.
 |
| Too slick ... We didn't take a shine to Kate's dress
|
The
bizarre one-sleeved gown had a strong look of nan's nightie about it,
while some onlookers drew comparisons to Disney's Cinderella's Fairy
Godmother. Reese Witherspoon suffered an awkward fashion faux pas with this strapless purple gown.
 |
| Bad Day ... Andra's dress fit poorly around her chest
|
The black lacy trim around the back of the dress looked like a bra as it peeped over the top of the protruding satin. Costume designer Sandy Powell (not Tilda Swinton) channelled her inner Bowie in this metallic patterned power suit.
 |
| Tin fail ... Lily Cole
|
Though onlookers pointed out her bright orange hair and green outfit bore a striking resemblance to Jim Carrey's Riddler. Fellow designer Jacqueline West also had a shocker with this shapeless black gown which did nothing for her figure.
 |
| Under-dressed ... Diane Warren
|
The usually stylish Kate Winslet suffered a rare fashion fail with this clingy, shimmering Ralph Lauren gown. While
it showed off her stunning figure in all the right places, the dress
was so shiny it looked like a cross between a bin bag and an oily
puddle.
 |
| Scandal-ous ... Kerry Washington's gown had an air of bondage about it
|
Singer Andra Day ran the risk of being mistaken for one of the yellow Oscar statues in this ill-fitting number. The strapless gown was particularly unflattering around her bust while the colour did little for her warm skin tone. Brit model and actress Lily Cole looked like she'd wrapped herself in BacoFoil for the occasion.
 |
| Oh Amy ... The star missed the mark with this frock
|
Songwriter Diane Warren looked like she'd rocked up for a standard day at the office rather than the Academy Awards ceremony. The
ill-fitting, collar-less jacket didn't match the assymetrical top
underneath while her clumpy boots looked well worn in and offered up yet
another colour clash.
This bizarre leather ensemble from Scandal star Kerry Washington had a touch of the dominatrix about it. Though
the Versace gown showed off her curves and a fashionable front split
revealed a sexy flash of leg, the outfit looked out of place on the red
carpet. Amy Poehler failed to impress after she turned up in a winged,
curtain-like dress dotted with embroidered flowers and butterflies.
