Saturday Night Live celebrated its 50th anniversary with its three-hour SNL50: The Anniversary Special on Sunday night (February 16).
The special featured the sketch comedy show’s former stars, including Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Tracy Morgan, and Jason Sudeikis. Artists such as Paul McCartney, Sabrina Carpenter, Miley Cyrus, and Cher were also in attendance at the event, held at the iconic Studio 8H in the Big Apple.
The festivities kicked off on Friday with the SNL50: The Homecoming Concert at Radio City Music Hall.
Ahead of the special’s 8 p.m. start time, celebrities hit the red carpet for a special livestream, with some making a better impression on the internet’s fashion police than others.
Below, Bored Panda presents a list of the 20 looks that social media users considered the worst of the evening.
“Not the popcorn butt lift (PBL),” one Redditor joked.
“Oh she was looking camp right in the eye,” added someone else.
“I hope it wasn’t buttered!” another expressed.
“That flower placement is so bad, it looks like it’s growing out of her,” one Redditor wrote.
“No offence to Kristen, but can we please retire the granny panty sheer dresses once and for all!” exclaimed a separate user.
The 30 Rock actress, who worked on SNL from 1997 to 2006, showed up to the special event wearing a risqué black and gold top paired with a midi skirt.
The dress was reportedly handcrafted and took 150 hours to assemble.
A cast member on SNL from 2000 to 2007, the comedian has made different cameo appearances over the years, including impersonations of Kamala Harris.
“Her hairstylist hates her,” one netizen remarked about Cher’s look.
“That hair really makes her look old,” another said.
The Believe singer kicked off the celebration with a performance at the SNL50: The Homecoming Concert on Friday.
“First time ever that I don’t like Anya Taylor Joy’s outfit 😭” one fan commented on the vintage two-piece look.
“Fabulous on the runway but very mediocre on Anya. Some archival pieces just need to remain there,” another added.
She paired the glittery look designed by Markarian with a yellow clutch.
“I swear I never recognize Halsey in a picture until I see her name, she’s such a shapeshifter,” one commented on the musician’s eclectic fashion choices.
“Halsey cosplayed Billie Eilish!” another joked.
