LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The 2026 award season has not ended yet, as on Thursday, March 26, music’s top artists were recognized and honored at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards. Hosted by Ludacris, the event saw a number of A-listers showcasing their fashion on the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California.

Although stars like Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus captivated audiences with their talent, their outfits also drew significant attention. However, many others were quickly criticized as flops due to their fashion choices.

Here's is the list of the worst dressed at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

Charlotte Lawrence failed to make an impression, even while wearing an outfit reportedly valued at over $4,950. Her floral-printed bodysuit paired with a lace maxi dress by Etro did little to enhance her featues.

While Chase Matthew seemed to play it safe in a black suit, the X-factor seemed missing. The clashing patterns – from paisley to checked squares – did not create a neat appearance.

Cheryl Porter

Cheryl Porter's vibrant dress was a bit over the top. The opera singer chose a rainbow-colored gown with pink puff sleeves and a tiered tulle skirt, which looked anything but classy.

Kylie Cantrall

Kylie Cantrall chose Versace for the awards night, but the plunging neckline and foil flowers on the red dress looked odd. Even a fringed hemline, inspired by a Hawaiian hula design, could not save the look.

Michelle Joy, a member of the American indie pop band Cannons, arrived at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in quite a mixed up attire. Her outfit included a tattered corset, a mini skirt with metal detailing, and a see-through train.

Alex Warren

Trisha Paytas matched her hair color with her outfit. She chose a form-fitting black and white striped dress that featured signature lime green accents.

Tori Spelling

Tori Spelling chose a revealing outfit. Her red corset-style dress, which hugged her body perfectly but the embellishments and details were a little bit extra.

Kehlani

The Grammy-winning American hip-hop trio wore matching outfits that looked confusing. Their distressed green two-piece ensembles did not flatter their curvy figures.
