The Hollywood stars who failed to impress at the red carpet of the 87th Academy Awards are said to be Lady Gaga, Scarlett Johansson, Felicity Jones, Nicole Kidman, Rita Ora and Julianna Moore. Johansson’s choice of neckpiece that she paired with her green Versace dress made her look wierd, as the maching neckpiece ruined the look, according to Metro.

“It’s more the fact that her necklace appears to be strangling her and no one’s noticed,” the magazine wrote, criticising Johansson's appearance at the red carpet. Meanwhile, the Alexander McQueen showstopper outfit worked well for Felicity Jones, but minus the giant pouffy skirt. The "Theory of Everything" actress' gown featured pleats, gathering, beading and a halter, but it failed to impress. The newly-engaged Lady Gaga’s wore three custom Azzedine Alaïa pieces, which she paired with unique, red gardening gloves and wore a matching hair accessory in red. Gaga's appearance didn’t go down well with the fashion critics. Her red shiny gloves brought much criticism her way.

The American rapper and songwriter Will.i.am made it to the worst dressed list, as he donned an outfit that resembled “Beetle Juice." It consisted of a pair of turned up trousers, lace-free shoes and a black and white top. “We think he came as a station master, or a ringmaster. Either way, he clearly got lost on the way to "The Voice" blind auditions," Metro wrote.

Rita Ora’s embellished navy Marchesa mermaid gown was dramatic but lacked in elegance. The gold detail and the fussy fishtail skirt of her strapless princess dress stood out from the simpler styles that were sported by others. Though Julianne Moore wore a white Chanel, which looked too dull, but she walked away with the most coveted award of the night, winning the best actress for her role in “Still Alice." The custom Chanel took 927 hours embellished with Chopard diamonds.

Nicole Kidman wore an iridescent strapless gown as she walked the red carpet. The shimmering number featured a side slit that ran all the way up to her thigh, and was cinched at the waist with a red belt. Her accessories were also mismatched -- she carried a cream and gold box clutch plus wore some bangles and wore an ankle-strap stilettos.
