Join Wonderwall.com as we weigh in on some of the best and worst celeb style moments of 2023 so far, starting with this wild getup…
Do you recognize this star? It's Kate Beckinsale behind all that tulle! The actress made a splashy entrance at the 2023 Zodiac Ball at The Houdini Estate in Los Angeles on Sept. 28, arriving in this monstrous design from Tony Ward Couture.
The truly bizarre ensemble included a gold bodysuit, which would have been strange enough, but the headpiece is what really sent this look over the edge. The star was obscured underneath a wide-brimmed hat complete with a tulle veil that fell all the way to the floor and included golden embellishments that matched her bodysuit.

Well, that's one way to stay warm!
Kylie Jenner attended the Schiaparelli fashion show in Paris on Jan. 23 in a black gown accessorized with a faux lion's head — a very bizarre addition that we're still wrapping our heads around.

Zendaya stunned at the inaugural Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre gala in Mumbai on April 1.
She arrived in this eye-catching Rahul Mishra ensemble that included elegant draping, a golden embellished bralette and a beautiful dark purple train with floral embellishments.
Bulgari jewels completed this standout look.

It's giving… matronly "I Dream of Jeannie."
Gwyneth Paltrow attended The Daily Front Row's Seventh Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards in Beverly Hills on April 24 in this getup from her own brand, G. Label by goop.
The two-piece look had an interesting silhouette — a cropped turtleneck with dramatic sheer sleeves and a train detail paired with wide-legged trousers — but that dull beige color is where things went wrong.

Pretty in hot pink! Kate Hudson wowed in a neon pink Tamara Ralph gown with one off-the-shoulder sleeve and one dramatic ruffled one plus a plunging neckline, all paired with Giuseppe Zanotti shoes at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Los Angeles on March 12.
_
Maren Morris's gown left a lot to be desired at the 2023 Grammys on Feb. 5. The country darling turned up in this puzzling selection from Off-White, which included a sheer, long-sleeve, floor-length top layer complete with a plunging neckline so low that it fell below her navel.
_
We weren't fans of Jenna Ortega's brown Gucci pick at the 2023 Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 10. The young star's haphazard dress included cutouts, draping, asymmetrical hemlines, billowy sleeves and a dramatic train — too many things at once!
_
It's giving… toddler-inspired couture? Harry Styles rocked this wild and wacky tank-style checkerboard-print jumpsuit at the 2023 Grammy Awards on Feb. 5 — a custom piece that was the fruit of an EGONLAB and Swarovski collaboration. While it brought a dose of fun, it wasn't the right move for music's biggest night.
_
Margot Robbie took a break from Barbie pink for the "Asteroid City" premiere in New York City on June 13. The star arrived in this darling Schiaparelli black-and-white minidress with a sweetheart neckline and a velvet corset and peplum detail that flowed into a pleated white skirt. Black pointy-toe pumps rounded out the great ensemble.
_
Hailey Bieber opted for a black dress by Saint Laurent that was anything but boring. The model rocked the slinky and unique gown, which included one floor-skimming sleeve, at the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Los Angeles on March 12.
_
Considering Lizzo wore one of our favorite looks of all time to the Grammys back in 2020 (who could forget that dreamy white Versace number?!), we had high hopes for her red carpet getup at the 2023 Grammys on Feb. 5. Unfortunately, it's about time to put her on this year's miss list. The superstar arrived in this Dolce & Gabbana disaster — a bright orange corset-style gown topped with a wild floral-embellished red cape.
_
We were wild about Lea Michele's Emilia Wickstead pick for the 2023 Tony Awards in New York City on June 11… especially the unexpected red-and-white color palette. The thin straps and straight neckline paired with a drop waist and full skirt were just icing on the cake.
_
Skirts seriously trended this spring, as exemplified by Elle Fanning. The fashionista attended an event for her Hulu series "The Great" in Los Angeles on May 10 in this unexpected but oddly perfect pairing — a gray tee topping a bold green floral-print Valentino midi-length skirt. She accessorized with even more surprising but delightful picks: pale pink satin Valentino pumps and a sweet matching headband.
_
Anya Taylor-Joy seriously underwhelmed at the 2023 Critics Choice Awards on Jan. 15, arriving in this Christian Dior design. Though it started out strong — those delicate spaghetti straps and subtle sparkly embellishments stunned — it lost us with that entirely sheer midi-length skirt.
_
Months ahead of the release of her film "Barbie," Margot Robbie embraced pink with this Chantilly lace Chanel design at the 2023 Golden Globes on Jan. 10. We adored this one from the halter-style neckline down to the dreamy skirt.
_
Jennifer Lopez certainly stayed on theme at the premiere of her film "The Mother" in Los Angeles on May 10 — this look is matronly. Her puzzling Brunello Cucinelli ensemble was comprised of a floor-length coat and a high-waist skirt paired with a tiny bralette all in the same beige shade. And while we appreciated the contrast between the sparse and ample fabric choices, we couldn't get behind this odd combo.
_
Kristen Stewart really let us down at the 2023 Met Gala on May 1, arriving in a messy black-and-white Chanel suit comprised of a cropped tuxedo shirt, baggy black trousers, a bolero jacket and a Chanel logo belt. Black-and-white loafers from the brand finished off this disappointing look.
_
Yikes! Heidi Klum often rocks some outlandish looks on the red carpet, but this one at the 2023 Golden Globes on Jan. 10 might take the cake. The model arrived in this insane Kevin Germanier minidress that included a purple feathered strip atop an otherwise silver sequined and sheer design. Silver strappy heels and a silver clutch completed this costume-like look.
_
A swing and a miss! "Oppenheimer" star Florence Pugh took a fashion risk during the 2023 Academy Awards on March 12 with this Valentino mess that didn't pay off. The beige frock included dramatic off-the-shoulder ruffled sleeves that had a split up the center revealing… tiny black shorts?
_
Though we bet Priyanka Chopra stayed cozy at the January launch of her limited-edition Universal Colour Collection with Max Factor in London on Jan. 10, we're not sure it was worth it with this wild getup. The star opted for various shades of brown — from her turtleneck dress to her massive camel coat — and added thigh-high boots to complete her strange wintery ensemble.
_
We adored how Melissa McCarthy opted for a real under-the-sea shade — a stunning deep blue — with the Taller Marmo gown she wore to the world premiere of Disney's live-action "The Little Mermaid" in Hollywood on May 8, but her styling lost us. Her gloves ruined an otherwise exceptional look — check out those shoes! — and gave things a costumey feel.
_
"The Little Mermaid" star Halle Bailey clearly got inspiration from her character, Ariel, when she picked this seafoam green Dolce & Gabbana confection for the 2023 Academy Awards on March 12. We loved the strapless neckline paired with a full tulle skirt.
_
Allison Williams served up a confusing look at the 2023 Academy Awards on March 12. Though her Giambattista Valli frock started out so so strong — look at the pink and silver floral embroidery and the fun feather trim! — it took a strange turn with the pink opera coat she rocked on top… which obscured the pretty base of her long-sleeve gown.
_
Priyanka Chopra made a romantic statement at a screening of her film "Love Again" in New York City on May 3, arriving in this dreamy baby blue Nina Ricci number. From the ruching on the bodice of the off-the-shoulder confection to the way the skirt exploded at the knee, everything about this dazzling dress was over the top and fabulous.
_
Jennifer Lawrence dazzled in Dior Haute Couture at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival premiere of "Anatomy of a Fall" in France on May 21. From the thin straps and the fitted waist to the full skirt and the matching wrap she sported around her arms, the ruby red shade and dreamy silhouette made this one of our all-time favorite looks on the A-lister. But when she lifted her gown, we were all in for quite a surprise…
_
Jennifer Lawrence sported black flip-flops underneath her stunning red Dior dress… a major fashion faux pas!
_
Dua Lipa dove into the Chanel archives for her 2023 Met Gala outfit on May 1, resulting in one of the best looks of the night. The phenomenal 1992 white-and-black tweed ballgown epitomized classic Chanel while the silhouette allowed for a regal moment. And her Tiffany & Co jewelry was equally stunning…
_
Dua Lipa's necklace wasn't just any Tiffany & Co. piece — it featured a more than 100-carat diamond name "the Legendary diamond." The massive stone was set amongst even more diamonds on the Lucida Star necklace. It's meant to pay tribute to the famous yellow Tiffany diamond with a similar cushion cut.
_
Miranda Kerr reminded us all that she's a true supermodel when she arrived at the Breakthrough Prize Ceremony in Los Angeles on April 15 in this impossibly glamorous Zuhair Murad gown. The sleek black pick included a sweetheart neckline and off-the-shoulder sleeves, a fitted bodice and a slinky mermaid-style skirt. A red lip, an updo and a stunning diamond necklace from Rahaminov Diamonds rounded out this red carpet look.
_
Yikes! Irina Shayk's look at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival premiere of "Firebrand" on May 21 left a lot to be desired…. like a top half. The Mowalola design included a barely-there criss-cross top paired with an insanely low-waist black-and-red skirt for a head-scratching combination that felt way too tacky for the glamorous film festival.
_
Stunning in Celine! "The Great" star Elle Fanning epitomized the title of her show at a screening for its third season in Los Angeles on May 11, sporting this sparkly, slinky creation. The spaghetti-strap gown with a plunging neckline evoked serious regal glamour and her slicked-back updo served as the perfect complement.
_
Heidi Klum channeled Big Bird in this wild yellow Georges Hobeika gown at the 2023 Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party in West Hollywood on March 12. The model's busy (and intimidating!) frock included a sheer skirt with a massive split that added even more chaos to the mix.
_
What's going on here, Taraji P. Henson? The actress stepped out in New York City on April 6 looking like she wrapped herself in a comfy blanket… but the ensemble was actually a Marc Jacobs look plucked straight off the runway. Cartoon-ish platform boots and leather gloves rounded out this truly bizarre ensemble.
_
Fashionista Julia Garner often takes risks on the red carpet, so we weren't surprised by this funky Ferragamo outfit she wore to the 2023 Critics Choice Awards on Jan. 15. Unfortunately, this time it didn't pay off. The top half of the design was completely see-through so she rocked a Skims bra underneath, then there's that high-low hemline — two trends we wish we saw less of in 2023. Despite not liking the dress, we loved her matching red Stuart Weitzman heels.
_
We always welcome a dash of bubblegum pink, so Julia Garner's frothy Gucci pick was widely welcomed at the 2023 Golden Globes on Jan. 10. We adored every inch of this look — from the jeweled straps to the ruffled tiers. She added even more sparkle with De Beers jewelry.
_
Even though spring was still around the corner at this point, Angela Bassett channeled the season early in this dreamy pale pink-and-lilac Pamella Roland number at the 2023 BAFTA Awards on Feb 19. We loved the halter neck, those dreamy oversized sleeves and her statement clutch.
_
We love a good summer-white moment, but we weren't wild about the silhouette of the Carolina Herrera gown that Scarlett Johansson wore to the "Asteroid City" premiere in New York City on June 13. From the drop waist to the halter straps to the massive floral detail at the neckline, this one felt dated and underwhelming.
_
Victoria Justice sported this… interesting combo while attending the Revolve Festival during the 2023 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 16. And while there are certainly different fashion rules at the music festival, we're not sure this look — with elements like neon green feathered trim on her unnecessarily sheer long-sleeve Farradas cardigan and a White Fox pink bikini top paired with cutoff shorts and magenta knee-high cowboy boots — followed any of them.
_
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wowed in Valentino at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival premiere of "Club Zero" on May 22, selecting this dreamy black-and-white design. The asymmetrical dress included one long sleeve and a massive white bow affixed to one hip. A knee-high slit on that same side showed off her pointy-toe pumps.
_
Cara Delevingne looked ravishing in red at the 2023 Academy Awards on March 12 in this show-stopping Elie Saab selection that evoked Old Hollywood glamour. A dramatic bow detail at the sleeve paired with an asymmetrical neckline struck just the right balance, while a thigh-high slit showed off her matching Stuart Weitzman sandals. Stunning Bulgari jewels — including a subtle serpent diamond necklace and beautiful diamond-covered hoops — were the perfect finishing touches.
_
Michelle Yeoh can always be counted on for a flawless high-fashion moment, so this pantsuit — complete with a cape! — from Christian Dior was no surprise. The unique silhouette and the stunning soft pink shade were a breath of fresh air on the red carpet at the 2023 BAFTA Awards on Feb. 19.
_
We weren't wild about Lily James's severe 2023 Met Gala look on May 1. The star's Tamara Ralph Couture ballgown paid homage to Karl Lagerfeld — the inspiration for the evening — by rocking one of the late designer's favorite fabrics: leather. The nod was sweet, but we weren't crazy about this black dress. She also added blunt bangs and showed off a super-dark hair shade on fashion's biggest night.
_
Kerry Washington was a welcome breath of fresh air in this standout Armani Privé design at the 2023 Critics Choice Awards on Jan. 15. The strapless silver sequined dress included a sweetheart neckline and fun hot pink and electric blue embellishments. Bulgari jewels rounded out this memorable fashion moment.
_
Carrie Underwood put her muscular stems on display at the 2023 CMT Music Awards, rocking this dazzling Dolce & Gabbana number on April 2. The country superstar's jumpsuit featured shimmering embellishments we loved, but we weren't wild about the proportions. The top half featured a high neck and long sleeves while the bottom was barely there.
_
Naomi Campbell matched the red carpet — while also infusing a dash of pink via a wispy cape — at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival premiere of "Killers of the Flower Moon" on May 20. The Valentino look — a stunning cherry red ballgown with cutouts down the bodice — became an instant favorite at the annual film festival.
_
Sydney Sweeney was one of our best dressed stars at the 2023 Met Gala on May 1 in this dreamy blush-hued Miu Miu confection. From the embellished straps to the fitted silhouette that exploded into a mermaid-style skirt complete with a train, we loved every inch of this look. But our favorite part had to be the oversized black bows that balanced things out — one at the knee of her gown and the other topping her stunning hairstyle.
_
This one looks like a work of art! Minnie Driver arrived at the premiere of "Chevalier" in Los Angeles on April 16 in this stunning pale blue pairing from Maticevski. The look was comprised of an artfully draped sleeveless top and a skirt complete with a bustled train detail and came straight from the designer's Spring 2023 collection. We loved the pastel shade and the way she opted to pair it with a dark lip, adding a bit of edge.
_
Those ruffles! That velvet! We adored the Louis Vuitton confection that Ana de Armas wore to the 2023 BAFTA Awards on Feb. 19. Tiny spaghetti straps held up the bodice, which featured sweet ruffles at the neckline and along the empire waist.
_
Hilary Duff made us miss the Christmas season with this look. The star was spotted leaving ABC's "Good Morning America" studios in New York City on Jan. 23 in this cheery cherry red ensemble — a skirt with some sweet pleats and a button-down blouse.
_
It was about six months too early for Halloween when Dascha Polanco arrived at Variety's Power of Women event in New York City on April 4 in this mummy-like getup by Hanifa that reminded us of a costume.
