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.

Though names like Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus not only won people’s hearts with their work, their outfits also stole the show. However, many others were immediately labeled flops because of their outfits.

Below is the list of worst dressed at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

Charlotte Lawrence did not impress despite wearing an outfit reportedly worth more than $4,950. Her floral-printed bodysuit and lace maxi dress by Etro did not complement her beauty. The outfit also inappropriately revealed her crotch area.

Though Chase Matthew seemed to play it safe by wearing a black suit, it lacked the X-factor. Additionally, the clashing patterns – from paisley to checked squares – did not create a tidy appearance.

Cheryl Porter

Cheryl Porter's vibrant dress failed to work its magic. 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 failed to impress. Even the strands around the hem, 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 a very confusing dress. Her outfit was a mix of a tattered corset, a mini skirt with metal detailing, and a see-through train.

Alex Warren

Alex Warren did not appear fresh because of his outfit, which included a gold-colored shirt and beige pants. He also wore a yellow tie featuring pinstripes and diamonds.

Trisha Paytas

Trisha Paytas matched her hair color with her outfit but still did not impress. She chose a form-fitting black and white striped dress that featured signature lime green accents.

Tori Spelling

Tori Spelling chose a very revealing outfit for the awards show. Her red corset-style dress, which hugged her body perfectly, failed to impress due to excessive embellishments and details.

Kehlani

Kehlani wore a red and black dress to the award ceremony. Although the color combination was classy and the thigh-high slit showcased her toned leg, the look somehow did not work.

Sandra Denton, DJ Spinderella and Cheryl James of Salt-N-Pepa

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