The misinterpreted Mayan banter on being debunked leads to the dawn of good times, or may be bad times. Nobody knows what the time holds in future but back in 2012 we had our share of sternly hard times sporadically when our style divas preferred frivolity over snobbery.

Chalk it up to their idea of hogging all the media focus at once, for good or bad, or may be a failure at the stylist’s part, the year had few of the prettiest celebrities turning into the ugliest ducklings. Though the red carpet had swathes of awe-inspiring haute couture cutting a glamorous picture but the baffled sartorial choices stood out. 

It’s intriguing to watch the much hailed fashionistas taking a style pratfall where few were hideous enough to make one noodle over the over-drugged notoriety our celebrities seldom indulge in. Not considering the perpetually annoying Nicki Minajs and Keshas here we come up with ten worst sartorial choices of 2012. 

The fashion divas like Rihanna and Emma Watson known for making the heads turn with their fashion sensibility earned flak for their not-so-spiffy outfits. Where Emma Watson chose to slip in a trouser with her Dior couture peplum piece Rihanna played an Auschwitz survival donning slouchy striped separates with an ill-fitted jacket. Making an attempt to take a flight to nowhere it was Anne Hathaway who showed up in a BDSM meets Batman black number at Les Miserable premiere. And yes! Vivienne Westwood in her scary best takes the cake.

In India our Bollywood starlets are no less enthusiastic when it comes to invoking nightmares by the mere style sensibility. The motor mouth Mallika Sherawat struts in a nude dress with hood at the Cannes Film Festival 2012, leaving us all indifferent, while Raveena Tandon behaves like a lamb in her leopard dress.
