19 Crazy Celebrity Outfits From The Red Carpets Of 2014, From Rihanna's Nude Bodysuit To Lupita Nyong'o's Met Gala Gown And Beyond

Lena Dunham jumped headfirst into a heavily tiered, pink Giambattista Valli ensemble, essentially thumbing her nose at fashion critics who claimed to have her style all figured out.

For reasons only Kendall Jenner understands, the hip flexor was 2014’s favorite zone to highlight via super-slits. Perhaps next year we’ll all be wearing slits as high as the belly button.

Beyonce didn’t go so far as to showcase her entire toned physique a la Rihanna, but her white, embroidered peekaboo gown with nude netting certainly turned a few heads.

There’s no explanation for Kim’s pleather bodysuit and sheer, net skirt, aside from the notion that the reality TV star woke up one day and decided to wear a futuristic bathing costume on the red carpet.

Rihanna’s robe may not have garnered as much attention as her CFDA getup, but it was a bold move for the red carpet. Bold, and perhaps a touch lazy.

Lupita Nyong’o dazzled the world with her eloquence and refined style, then stunned fans into silence with this feathered fishnet of a Prada gown.

To promote her starring role in Maleficent by draping herself in liquid evil… or perhaps just ruched leather.

Paris Hilton was ready to literally show the world what she’s made of at the Grammy Awards, donning a white gown with nude peekaboo paneling at the back, sides, and sleeves.

It has become apparent at this point how much Miley Cyrus adores the region between her waist and chin, if her many, many chest-baring ensembles are any indication.

Though to her credit, she didn’t show up in pasties or a transparent gown, Zendaya did don this appalling mashup prom dress/cowboy shirt of gown.

Despite stepping out in an entirely reasonable ensemble, the "Happy" singer created a minor hullabaloo with his incredibly tall Vivienne Westwood cap.

After trotting out twee-yet-vaguely sultry ensembles over the past year, Ariana Grande suddenly appeared in head-to-toe leather for the 2014 VMAs.

Props to Amber Rose for having the bravado to pull off a look like this at the highly-publicized VMAs of all places, but… where’s the rest of it?

When Katy Perry stepped out at the Grammy’s in Valentino’s wispy, musical gown, the only word for her public’s reaction was astonishment.

This year, Taylor Swift moved to the Big Apple, swore off men for a bit, and debuted this intricately printed bodysuit at the VMAs. Give the girl a bit of credit; 2014 was a big year in a formerly twee country singer’s life.

The 2014 Billboard Music Awards were an innovative night for Chrissy Teigen; the model donned a micro-mini with a baroque print and wing-like sleeves to the event, along with — gasp! — fringe.

Zendaya is a young star in the music industry, and therefore prone to the odd idiosyncratic getup. However, no one could speak to the reasoning behind this golden disco suit and bikini top.

Anne Hathaway give fans (and haters) something to think about when she transformed her formerly timeless look into an altogether more daring style.
