Logies 2017: Worst dressed stars and style shocks we can’t get over

BEFORE Margot Robbie and Nicole Kidman made Hollywood’s best dressed lists, they attended the Logies wearing bad (some very bad) outfits.

The Logies used to be an occasion for OTT outfits, too much cleavage and poorly-applied fake tan from D-list Australian TV “celebrities”.

Now, it’s turned into a real fashion show with top Australian stylists and designers dressing increasingly style-conscious starlets.

But there are some Logies shocks from years gone by (aka the golden era of trashy Logies looks) that we just can’t forget.

Former Neighbours star-turned-Hollywood-darling Robbie sported a strapless, ruffled black and orange dress with a mullet hemline and thick, black platform heels to the Logies in 2009.
It was a far cry from the sleek Saint Laurent and Gucci dresses Robbie has worn to events like the Oscars since cracking Hollywood.

In the ’80s, Nicole Kidman and her sister Antonia walked the Logies red carpet as rising stars of the Australian television industry, wearing various shades of blue ruffle that was probably very on-trend for 1987.

Unfortunately, those frocks do not hold up.

Dannii Minogue, Sophie Monk and Melissa George are super stylish now. That was not the case when they attended the Logies earlier on in their careers.

A serial offender of bad Logies looks is daytime TV presenter Susie Elelman, who has consistently provided the event with shocking frocks that made viewers look twice for all the wrong reasons.

This black-and-white outfit (and plunging neckline) started it all in 1995.

And here again. A leopard never changes her style spots.

But it’s not just errors in sartorial judgment that raise eyebrows at the Logies. Sometimes it’s showing too much flesh or, in Gold Logie winner Lisa McCune’s case, bad ringlets circa 1997.
