In photos: The five worst Oscar dresses of 2013
The Globe's fashion experts pick their least favourite gowns of the night
Jennifer Garner’s plum Gucci looked nice enough on top, until she turned around, revealing a mass of misguided plumage-like ruffles. Two words: fashion mullet. And one more: no.The Associated Press

Halle Berry told an interviewer on the carpet she wanted to look like a Bond girl in her custom Versace. Too bad the over-the-top, sharply angled result was more like Star Trek: The Musical.The Associated Press
Dabbling in one of the evening’s biggest trends, metallics, the charming Jennifer Hudson unfortunately landed closer to the showgirl side of the spectrum in her spangly blue Roberto Cavalli.Reuters
