Nicki Minaj's Idol Outfit Tops Our Worst-Dressed List This Week (PHOTOS)
Nicki Minaj stepped onto the stage of "American Idol" this week and jaws dropped. The "High School" rapper showed off what her mama gave her in an outfit that took the term "boob window" to the next level.
The MTV Movie Awards were earlier this week and celebrities flexed their style muscles. Unfortunately, many of them stumbled and ended up on our worst-dressed list, including Ke$ha, whose transparent hippie-inspired pants were outlandish, to say the least. Zoe Saldana and Kerry Washington both took risks at the awards, but the daring styles didn't translat! e and ended up looking strange.
Check out those over-the-top looks, as well as more celebrities who made our week's worst-dressed list. Do you agree with us?
Then head over to our best-dressed gallery to check out this week's style winners.
Nicki Minaj
That's a whole new level of "<a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2013%2F02%2F19%2Fashley-benson-boob-window_n_2716278.html" target="_blank">boob window</a>," Nicki. Los Angeles, April 17thPhoto Credit: Getty Images
Ke$ha
Hmm, where to start? The crimped hair and dark lipstick feels very "Dirrty" <a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2012%2F11%2F06%2Fchristina-aguilera-outrageous-moments-photos_n_2084285.html" target="_blank">Xtina Aguilera</a>, and the fringe calls to mind a Stevie Nicks moment. But it's the transparent lace pants that really give us pause. Thank goodness she's wearing boy shorts. Los Angeles, April 14thPhoto Credit: Getty Images
Diana Ross
The <a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=htt! p%3A%2F%2! Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2013%2F03%2F25%2Fdiana-ross-style-photos_n_2935398.html" target="_blank">music legend </a>should serve as a style warning to us all: Be very wary of yellow fur or feathers, unless you want to be mistaken for our favorite character on "Sesame Street."New York City, April 14thPhoto Credit: Getty Images
Alessandra Ambrosio
The <a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2013%2F04%2F11%2Falessandra-ambrosio-photo_n_3017727.html" target="_blank">Victoria's Secret model</a> really took the Coachella theme to heart in this hippie-slash-sexy mess of an outfit.

Kat Von D
Where, oh where, to begin? Those are transparent, skin-tight leggings with sheer panels to show off the tattoos on her thighs. Shall we continue? Didn't think so. New York City, April 16thPhoto Credit: Getty Images
Melissa Leo
The <a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2012%2F08%2F13%2Fmelissa-leo-why-stop-now_n_1769961.html" target="_blank">Oscar-winning actress</a> has us scratching our heads in this bizarre dress. Additionally, the silver pumps with black tights are a no-no. Especially when the shoes look like they're ready for "Dancing With the Stars."Los Angeles, April 10thPhoto Credit: FilmMagic
Debbie Gibson
It looks like her <a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2013%2F04%2F09%2F90s-fashion-trends_n_3040200.html" target="_blank">style is stuck in the '90s</a>. Her acid-washed jeans are one thing, but the see-through top is really taking us back. New York City, April 15thPhoto Credit: Getty Images
Kery Washington
We want to love this outfit because the "Scandal" <a href="http://redirect.vigli! nk.com?ke! y=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2013%2F04%2F15%2Fkerry-washington-mtv-movie-awards-dress_n_3083648.html" target="_blank">star</a> is usually such a trendsetter ... but we can't. The orange material looks like a deflated pool toy wrapped around her waist. Los Angeles, April 14thPhoto Credit: Getty Images
Teresa Giudice
The "<a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2012%2F08%2F08%2Fteresa-giudice-husband_n_1755433.html" target="_blank">Real Housewives of New Jersey</a>" star's outfit is a warning against wearing cheap fabric. The shiny Lycra top pulls in all the wrong directions (like her armpit). New Jersey, April 10thPhoto Credit: Getty Images
Melissa Gorga
We are seeing lots of cropped tops these days and when they're worn properly, they are very stylish. This is not one of those cases. The key to wearing this trend is to only show off an inch or so under the ribcage and to keep the fabric and patterns sophisticated. New Jersey, April 10thPhoto Credit: Getty Images
Zoe Saldana
First there was boob window, now there's knee window? The "<a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2012%2F11%2F20%2Fzoe-saldana-nina-simone-biopic-casting-controversy_n_2165356.html" target="_blank">Nina</a>" actress looks like she's wearing an Under Armour running top with a skirt that got caught in a door that she had to stitch up on her own. Her expression says it best, "Not impressed."Los Angeles, April 14thPhoto Credit: WireImage
Sarah Hyland
<a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2012%2F11%2F13%2Fkourtney-kardashian-2012-photo_n_2117362.html" target="_blank">Petite ladies</a>, take note: An ankle-length hem will overwhelm. If yo! u're goin! g to wear a long dress, it needs to be floor-length and body-conscious, otherwise it looks like it's swallowing you.Los Angeles, April 16thPhoto Credit: WireImage
Rebel Wilson
We don't care how funny you are, a tracksuit and sneakers <a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2012%2F08%2F29%2Feva-longoria-red-carpet-fashion-mistakes_n_1837629.html" target="_blank">isn't appropriate for the red carpet</a>.

Rumer Willis
There are no words for this abomination of style. We understand a bikini at the pool, but why would you add a robe and a sequined skirt? April 6, 2013 Las Vegas, NV
Shania Twain
We can't support an outfit that doesn't know which season it belongs in. Twain's look is summer on top and winter on the bottom and it just has us confused. April 7, 2013 Las Vegas, NV
Carrie Underwood
Florals are gorgeous, but on the red carpet they are too distracting. Especially this pattern, which seems to be blooming right in the country singer's lap. Underwood's wispy hair looks messy and her belt looks like a cheap cummerbund. April 7, 2013 Las Vegas, NV
Faith Hill
Is the country star coming apart at the seams? Her lace dress looks like it was meant to be laced all the way up, but something came undone. April 7, 2013 Las Vegas, NV
Julianne Hough
Petite ladies: Beware of! a floor-! length hemline. It can overwhelm, as is the case here with Ryan Seacrest's ex. April 9, 2013 Los Angeles
Rita Ora
We can tackle the metallic varsity jacket later. First, let's discuss the British singer's choice of footwear. Are those nurse shoes? Or orthopedic brothel creepers? We are confused. April 9th, 2013 New York City
Eva Longoria
This is a case of terrible, horrible, no-good fit. The draped sleeves look sloppy, the exposed seam appears to be bleeding and the pulling at her torso is distracting. April 8, 2013 New York City
Kaley Cuoco
We won't even discuss that rat's nest hairdo. The graphic detail on "The Big Bang Theory" actress' dress looks like something out of "Star Trek." April 7, 2013 Las Vegas, NV
Kelly Clarkson
The bright turquoise shade of this dress, coupled with the lace overlay, looks like it belongs at a high school prom. We are also detecting nude pantyhose, and you know how we feel about that. April 7, 2013 Las Vegas, NV
Vanessa Paradis
Baggy leather pants are tough to pull off (not even Beyonc can do it). Unless you want to look like MC Hammer, we suggest sticking with the sleeker version. April 4, 2013 Milan, Italy
Carrie Underwood
Country music has long been the haven for ladies who love to sparkle (perhaps J.Lo should consider changing genres), but even this is a bit much. The beading on her shoulder appears to be leaking onto her bust and the earrings are fighting for attention. April 7, 2013 Las Vegas, NV
Julianne Hough
We love this pattern, but the white neckline has us wondering if Hough put her dress on backwards. April 9, 2013 Los Angeles, CA
Kelly Clarkson
Again, the sheer pantyhose are reminding us of something that Mary Hart would wear. The off-the-shoulder neckline gives her loo! k an ice-! skater vibe. April 7, 2013 Las Vegas, NV
Rita Ora
The <a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2012%2F12%2F03%2Frob-kardashian-rita-ora-break-up-cheated-cheating-20-men_n_2232727.html" target="_blank">singer</a> reminds us of '90s-era Slash with her unruly 'do, hat, and all-leather ensemble. But it's the crop top that really gives us pause. A crop top needs high-waisted bottoms, or else you look like you're ready for spring break. London, April 4th Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News
Carmen Electra
Just where does the <a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2012%2F03%2F20%2Fcarmen-electra-shows-off-curves-regard-magazine_n_1367779.html" target="_blank">TV personality</a> think she's going in a studded leotard? Every aspect of this look -- from the dramatic eye makeup down to the wedge sneakers -- is ridiculous.Palm Springs, March 31stPhoto Credit: WireImage
Cyndi Lauper
The <a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2013%2F02%2F08%2Fcyndi-lauper-gay-icon-status-_n_2648413.html" target="_blank">singer</a> looks like she fashioned herself a leather skirt and then used the extra material for fingerless gloves. And don't even get us started on that sloppy top. New York City, April 2ndPhoto Credit: Getty Images
Chrissy Teigen
The model has called her dress a mistake, and we have to say that we agree. Underboob and sheer insets make for a dangerous look. One false move and she'd be on our "<a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2013%2F03%2F23%2Fwardrobe-malfunctions-see_n_2935406.html" target="_blank">wardrobe malfunctions</a>" list. New York City, April 2n! dPhoto Cr! edit: FilmMagic
Molly Ringwald
It's next to impossible for a pale-skinned actress to wear an illusion neckline without disappearing into the fabric. Moreover, "<a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2012%2F05%2F23%2Fmolly-ringwald-pretty-in-pink-duckie-gay_n_1539778.html" target="_blank">The Secret Life of the American Teenager</a>" actress looks like she's covered in tattoos.Los Angeles, March 28thPhoto Credit: Getty Images
Emmy Rossum
That's a whole lotta gold on the "<a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2013%2F01%2F02%2Femmy-rossum-shameless_n_2398212.html" target="_blank">Shameless</a>" actress. New York City, April 2ndPhoto Credit: Getty Images
Gwen Stefani
Her <a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2012%2F10%2F03%2Fgwen-stefani-no-doubt-photos-2012_n_1932718.html" target="_blank">style is wacky</a>, but at least she owns it. It's one thing to wear a tartan, but to cover it with a pom-pom-trimmed blanket takes it to the next level of bizarre.Los Angeles, March 30thPhoto Credit: WireImage
Julia Stiles
Light-colored shoes with black tights is a tough look to pull off. Add billowy sleeves and a gold coin necklace and we don't know where to look first. New York City, March 27thPhoto Credit: WireImage

Zosia Mamet
Thi! s must be! the "<a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2013%2F02%2F02%2Fgirls-hb0-zosia-mamet-sideboob_n_2606336.html" target="_blank">Girls</a>" actress' blue period (sorry, we had to). A monochrome look can be gorgeous (we suggest you look to Solange Knowles for tips on how to pull off bold, colorful outfits), but Mamet should've broken up the look with gold jewelry or a white belt. Otherwise, her ensemble all blurs together and it's hard to tell where the top ends and the pants begin.New York City, April 1stPhoto Credit: Getty Images
Lara Bingle
The Australian TV personality's outfit becomes a costume thanks to over-the-top details<a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2013%2F03%2F29%2Fdior-veil-jennifer-lawrence-ad_n_2980953.html" target="_blank"> like a face net</a>, a scarf and, erm, the lack of pants.

Fashion-forward outfits might be best suited for the catwalk, OK?Las Vegas, March 28thPhoto Credit: FilmMagic
Rita Ora

Too much of a good thing can be overwhelming, as is the case here. Simple sleek heels and minimal jewelry would've saved this outfit. Las Vegas, March 30thPhoto Credit: Pacific Coast News
Fergie
Pregnant or not, this outfit is a misstep. T! he flowy ! top, oversized bag and beat-up boots are engulfing the <a href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2013%2F02%2F18%2Ffergie-josh-duhamel-expecting-first-child_n_2713940.html" target="_blank">diminutive singer</a>.

Ke$ha
We have mad love for menswear-inspired tailoring, but this just skews silly. The sunglasses, cane and hat add to a look that would've been better suited on a '70s wedding singer. Los Angeles, March 23rd Photo Credit: WireImage
Kaley Cuoco
Kim Kardashian wore a similarly themed black sequined gown. "The Big Bang Theory" actress struggles for the same reason: The paillettes catch the light and look like cut-up credit cards. Beverly Hills, March 20th Photo Credit: Getty Images

This is a cornucopia of patterns and motifs that just end up distracting from the actress' pretty face. Los Angeles, March 20th Photo Credit: FilmMagic
Jennifer Westfeldt
Jon Hamm's better half stepped out in an outfit that had us scratching our heads. The bustier looks like something out of "Batman" and the pulling at the skirt makes her look wider than she is. This is a case of poor fit. Los Angeles, March 20th Photo Credit:F FilmMagic
Ke$ha
We love power clashing, but the baggy fit on the singer'! s outfit ! throws everything off. Sleek pants and a sharply tailored jacket would've saved this outfit. Beverly Hills, March 23rd Photo Credit: Getty Images
