So, who nailed it and who flopped spectacularly? Grab your popcorn and dive into the 20 most talked-about Vogue World celebrity outfits that had fans doing double takes—and not always for the right reasons. LEARN MORE
Vogue World is a celebration of fashion at its most glamorous, drawing A-list celebrities with a blend of traditional runway shows and live theatrical performances.
Last year, Vogue World 2025: Hollywood highlighted the long-lasting camaraderie between fashion and film, turning Los Angeles’ Paramount Studios into a runway. This year, the haute couture extravaganza took itself to one of the Big Four fashion capitals.
Vogue World 2026: Milan took place on September 22 at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the city’s landmark shopping destination, to celebrate Italy’s century-spanning contributions to fashion.
The evening’s theme explored the relationship between “Italian craftsmanship and designers in the age of technology,” and the dresses paid homage to the same, according to Vogue.
Of course, celebrity fashion is always subjective, and a look that leaves one person scratching their head can become another person’s instant favorite. Still, the internet had plenty of opinions about this year’s arrivals.
The guest list was starry, featuring the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Dakota Johnson, Naomi Watts, and Heidi Klum, among others.
Of course, celebrity fashion is always subjective, and a look that leaves one scratching their head can become another’s favorite. Still, the internet had plenty to criticize about this year’s outfits.
“Are they competing for the most hideous dressed person?” one user commented about a collection of looks. Another said, “You people wear some of the ugliest clothes I’ve ever seen!”
“Is Vogue World a plastic surgery expo?” a third said. A fourth wrote, “I have dresses that look like these that I got at Goodwill and Ross.”
From questionable beauty choices to outfits that simply missed the mark for some viewers, these 20 celebrity looks had fans doing double takes, and not always for the right reasons.
The body-contouring gown was transparent from its high neck to its hem, with floral work covering parts of the bust, navel, hips, and thighs. Klum wore black underwear underneath for coverage.
She kept the rest of the look minimal, with simple black mules and a black silk clutch.
“The dress is not for a woman over 50. It looks like she’s desperate for attention,” one netizen opined. Another wrote, “Nothing is left to the imagination anymore.”
A third wrote, “So that’s a dress for the beach.” A fourth chimed in, “Sorry, but I hate her stylist.”
A fifth commented, “Yet another sheer dress with visible underwear,” to which another user replied, “They are all ugly without exception.”

The silk piece included a long bodice with slit sleeves, a mermaid train, a gathered panel at the knees, and a black trim with geometric details.
She accessorized with Ferragamo’s crystal-topped black heels, a crocodile-embossed clutch, and a Pandora necklace from their Pat McGrath collaboration.
Her makeup was minimal, as her style has become recently, with just black eyeliner and dusky gold eyeshadow.
“Dress looks like a curtain though,” one person said about her dress. Another wrote, “Reminds me of the Italian Easter egg, upside down. Someone did not advise her correctly.”
A third joked, “Incredible. I didn’t know the Ferrero Rocher ambassador got invited to the red carpet this year.”
But the biggest talking point was her makeup, or its lack thereof (people could not agree on which it was).
Some called her out for doing her eyes, because she famously renounced makeup in 2023 after her longtime makeup artist and friend, Alexis Vogel, passed away. Others complained that she should have done her eyebrows and lips too.
One said, “I thought she was against makeup? Or was that just her comeback stunt?” Another wrote, “Needs eyebrows, blush, and lipstick.”
