The People’s Choice Awards 2024 was a night to remember, as the fans voted for their favourite stars in film, TV, music, and more. The ceremony, which took place on Sunday, Feb. 18, at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, was hosted by comedian Chelsea Handler, who kept the audience entertained with her witty and sarcastic jokes.
But before the show began, the celebrities dazzled on the red carpet, showing off their style and personality. From glamorous gowns to edgy suits, from bold colours to sleek neutrals, from classic elegance to modern flair, the stars displayed a variety of looks that reflected their individuality and taste.
However, not all the outfits were equally impressive, and some of them missed the mark or caused controversy. Here are some of the best and worst dressed stars on the red carpet of the People’s Choice Awards 2024.
The Best Dressed Stars on the Red Carpet
Some of the stars who nailed their red carpet looks and earned praises from the fashion critics and the fans were:
Margot Robbie: The Barbie star and nominee for nine awards looked stunning in a strapless pink gown by Dior, which featured a corset bodice and a voluminous skirt. She accessorised with a diamond necklace and earrings by Tiffany & Co., and wore her blonde hair in a sleek bun. She completed her look with a matching pink lipstick and a radiant smile.
Dua Lipa: The Dance the Night singer and performer wowed in a red sequined jumpsuit by Versace, which hugged her curves and showed off her legs. She added some drama with a red feathered cape, which she removed for her performance. She paired her outfit with red strappy sandals by Jimmy Choo, and wore her dark hair in a sleek bob. She finished her look with a red lipstick and a smoky eye makeup.
Billie Eilish: The Barbie nominee and winner of the Female Artist of the Year award surprised everyone with her chic and sophisticated look. She wore a black and white tweed suit by Chanel, which featured a cropped jacket and a mini skirt. She added some edge with black platform boots by Prada, and wore her green and black hair in a ponytail. She kept her makeup minimal and natural, and wore a pair of pearl earrings by Chanel.
Charles Melton: The May December star and presenter looked handsome and dapper in a red velvet suit by Dolce & Gabbana, which he paired with a black shirt and a black bow tie. He added some sparkle with a diamond brooch by Cartier, and wore his black hair in a slicked-back style. He complemented his look with a black watch and a confident attitude.
The Worst Dressed Stars on the Red Carpet
Some of the stars who failed to impress or offended with their red carpet looks and received criticisms from the fashion experts and the fans were:
Kim Kardashian: The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star and nominee for the Reality Star of the Year award disappointed in a beige latex dress by Balmain, which looked tight and uncomfortable. She matched her dress with beige latex gloves and boots, and wore her dark hair in a wet look. She added some contrast with a brown lipstick and a smoky eye makeup, but her look was still bland and boring.
Lainey Wilson: The Country Artist of the Year winner and performer made a fashion faux pas in a purple sequined jumpsuit by Gucci, which featured a plunging neckline and flared pants. She clashed her outfit with a pink feathered boa, which she draped over her shoulders. She wore her blonde hair in loose waves, and wore a purple lipstick and a glittery eye makeup. Her look was too loud and tacky, and did not suit her personality or the occasion.
Jeremy Renner: The Maestro star and presenter looked sloppy and casual in a black leather jacket, a black T-shirt, and black jeans, which he wore with black sneakers. He did not bother to accessorise or style his hair, and wore a pair of sunglasses, which he kept on throughout the night. He looked like he did not care about the event or his appearance, and did not respect the dress code or the fans.
Emma Stone: The Poor Things star and nominee for six awards caused controversy with her red carpet look, which was accused of being culturally insensitive and inappropriate. She wore a yellow silk dress by Valentino, which featured a high collar, long sleeves, and a slit skirt. She accessorised with a red belt, a red clutch, and red sandals, and wore her red hair in a bun. She completed her look with a red lipstick and a winged eyeliner. However, many people criticised her for appropriating Asian culture and style, and for wearing a dress that resembled a cheongsam, a traditional Chinese garment. They also pointed out that her look was similar to that of Scarlett Johansson in the 2023 film Ghost in the Shell, which was also accused of whitewashing and cultural appropriation.
