Governors Awards 2025 Worst Dressed: Emily Blunt and Mia Goth among 10 stars whose looks fell flat

HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA: Hollywood’s biggest names packed the room as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences kicked off its 16th Governors Awards, held with support from Rolex. The Academy honored Debbie Allen, Tom Cruise, production designer Wynn Thomas, and Dolly Parton for their standout contributions to film and humanitarian work. 

The ceremony signaled the unofficial start of awards season, and while stars filled the red carpet, not everyone was able to deliver on style, with several celebrities, including Emily Blunt, Kate Hudson, and Mia Goth, missing the mark.

1. Emily Blunt

Emily Blunt, 42, stumbled on the red carpet at the 16th Governors Awards with a red asymmetrical gown. The dress featured an avant-garde neckline shaped like a crumpled bow and a bright silhouette accented by a sheer V-shaped panel that ran awkwardly from her hips to her inner thigh. She styled her brunette hair in a sleek bun and kept her makeup soft and natural.

2. Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson, 46, showed up in a long-sleeved green silk dress that appeared frumpy and ill-fitted. The gown’s awkward shoulder cutouts and sleeve slits only added to the confusion. She paired the look with beautifully done Old Hollywood–inspired hair and makeup, but even the vintage glamour couldn’t redeem the unfortunate outfit.

3. Amanda Seyfried

Amanda Seyfried, 39, delivered one of the night’s strangest looks in a brown and light-pink polka-dot, off-the-shoulder dress. The quirky outfit came with fuzzy bicep cuffs and an oversized pink silk bow at the chest. The 'Mamma Mia!' star paired the ensemble with a dazzling diamond necklace and matching earrings. She pulled back her blonde hair, letting a few strands frame her face, and finished the look with soft makeup and a swipe of pink lipstick.

4. Mia Goth

Mia Goth, 32, stepped onto the red carpet in one of the night’s most unusual looks. She wore a light blue draped dress accented with large tie-up sack details at the hips. The actress styled her brunette hair in a center part and finished her makeup with a glossy lip. Adding to the quirky choice, she skipped any major jewelry and paired the gown only with small dangling earrings for the high-profile gala.

5. Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart, 35, wore a strapless black gown featuring lacy white detailing along the neckline and two matching, unusual lace accents on the chest. She made another surprising choice by skipping jewelry altogether, letting her sharp, even bangs take center stage. She completed the look with white heels and minimal makeup.

6. Jurnee Smollett

Jurnee Smollett, 39, showed up at the 16th Governors Awards in a gold gown, but the dress didn’t sparkle as much as expected. The standout feature was a quirky vine-like pattern that ran from her shoulder down to her hips, adding an unexpected twist to an otherwise classic silhouette. She paired the look with sleek styling that let the dress’s unusual design take center stage.

7. Queen Latifah

Queen Latifah, 55, wore a bright red Lanvin dress featuring a shiny fringe detail at the chest, which made the look rather unconventional. She finished her ensemble with dark lipstick, long feather-like earrings that matched the fringe, and neatly styled hair for a refined touch.

8. Jeremy Strong

Jeremy Strong, 46, aimed for a monochrome look but missed the mark in a dusty brown suit from head to toe. Even his bow tie and matching shoes blended into the brown palette, leaving the ensemble looking overly uniform and stylistically off for the red carpet.

9. Cynthia Erivo

Cynthia Erivo, 38, landed on the 16th Governors Awards’ worst-dressed list as she wore an aqua coat dress adorned with rich floral appliques, sweeping metallic fringe, and feather-like strands that added dramatic texture and volume. The striking, avant-garde silhouette made a fierce statement, while her standout jewelry and signature, closely cropped hair completed the daring look. 

10. Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow opted for a sleek and modern look on the red carpet at the 16th Governors Awards, wearing a black gown with pockets and subtle beaded floral detailing. The minimalist silhouette gave off a relaxed vibe, complemented by her long platinum hair and simple drop earrings, a look that felt strikingly understated compared to the star-studded extravagance of the ceremony.
