Good news: Avril Lavigne got the memo about plaid and leather being super hot this fall. Bad news: she did all the wrong things with that info.

The "Here's To Never Growing Up" singer looks like the biker chick version of Cher Horowitz in this red plaid getup. Though, we doubt the Clueless costume designers would let an actress step two feet from her trailer in anything this intense.

We can't decide exactly what sends this ensemble over-the-top, but the peplum blazer may be a good place to start. The fit is bunchy and the ruffled bottom is too girly for the edgy leather. Worn with simple, black jeans it might work better, but Avril opted for a leather pencil skirt and leather boots.

We could see the women of the Hells Angels doing Christmas carols in these costumes. Or maybe a lady lumberjack could wear this on a hot date to the local dive bar? Either way, it's not fit for a small blonde singer, even if she happens to be from Canada.
