There are always a few fashion misses on the red carpet, with even the most stylish of stars flopping every now and then.
Let’s see who failed to make the grade at the Oliviers this year.
1. Arlene Phillips

It’s not that Arlene looks bad, it’s more that she looks as if she’s on her way to work.
This plain black number wouldn’t look out of place in the office. Arlene, I’m afraid we give it a 3!
2. Zawe Ashton

Oh Zawe. With that face and figure, it should have been so easy.
But this floaty, lampshadey affair does nothing to flatter the Fresh Meat star.
3. Emma Williams

Emma’s dress would probably have looked perfect on many a red carpet.
We’re just not convinced it was right for the Oliviers. And let’s hope she has lots of leg room under her table.
4. Laura Carmichael

Is it the material? The structure? The shape? The colour? We’re not sure where it all goes wrong with Laura’s dress.
We just know that it does indeed go wrong. Oh so wrong.
5. Cyndi Lauper

Cyndi seems to have confused her awards ceremonies. Maybe she thinks she’s at the Grammys?
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
