Kim Basinger

Here’s the thing – the Oscars can be a lot of things, including a melting pot of outrageous looks. Case in point, Kim Basinger’s 1990 Oscars dress was a white-hot mess, as described by many. Kim’s dress was trying to be too many things at once—at the top, it was a blazer and on the bottom part, it was a gigantic ball gown.

Unfortunately, Kim only had herself to blame for this fashion disaster since she was the one who designed the dress. At that time, Kim was at the height of her success and many couldn’t believe that she had not been advised to make investments in quality outfits for the red carpet.
