Josh Groban is getting hammered for his awful performance at the Emmy Awards (see above video), but some of the critics are saying the awfulness started on the red carpet.

Here are five [dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prom-collection) that should have stayed in celebrity closets instead of making their Emmy Award debut. So, let the â€œdissâ€ cussin' begin: take a look at the galleries and pick your worst of the best.

**Implications** - These photographs will definitely make you feel better about yourself and the lack of red carpet walks in your life. While it may be shameful to say so, other people's mistakes -- especially those of celebrities -- definitely make people feel a little bit better about their boring lives.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Red-carpet Blunders:** New technology could offer assistance and advice to celebrities and stylists to avoid fashion faux pas during high-profile events.
- **Celebrity Fashion Critiques:** Online platforms that allow users to critique and rate red carpet looks could become a popular form of entertainment.
- **Revamped Image Consulting:** The image consulting industry could undergo a transformation as stars seek to avoid negative comments about their appearance.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Fashion and Luxury Goods:** Industry leaders could create wearable technology designed to monitor and evaluate the effect of red carpet fashion choices.
- **Social Media:** Apps that allow users to publicly critique celebrity fashion choices could gain popularity.
- **Image Consulting:** Businesses that specialize in image consulting could leverage new technologies to help clients achieve the perfect look for public events.
