We would not be surprised to learn that Julianne Moore took all of her favorite dresses from her childhood and sewed them into this...situation.

The Maps to the Stars actress looks like she has a black velvet Christmas dress, a sequined sweet sixteen look, and maybe even a prom frock or two in the folds!

In theory, that's a lovely way to honor the wardrobe you'll never wear again. But in practice, that's one rough-looking red carpet look.

We love the concept of this Rodarte dress, but the execution gives it a goth garage sale vibe. Layers of tulle against thicker black fabrics could be gorgeous, but the thickness up top hides this A-lister's peaches and cream skin, making her look like she's a Greek goddess wearing this year's winter toga trend.

And yet, as much as we dislike the design, this power player had never looked more confident. That counts for something in the red carpet game—even if we aren't willing to take away the hot mess title.
