"We&amp;#x27;ve made our predictions. We&amp;#x27;re crossing our fingers for a few gorgeous surprises. And we&amp;#x27;re hoping our favorite ladies of the silver screen really bring it on the red carpet at this Sunday&amp;#x27;s Oscars. But before all of that, let&amp;#x27;s give them a little lesson in what not to wear, shall we? Take a look at my picks for the eight biggest Don&amp;#x27;ts in Oscar history, after the jump! Demi Moore is the picture of understated elegance these days, but back in 1989, when she and Bruce Willis were still together, she showed up to the Oscars looking like one hot mess. A bustier, glitter bike shorts, and a brocade waist cape? Someone get this woman a mirror, stat! It was a similar story for Kim Basinger in 1990: Still married to her super-famous husband, Alec Baldwin, and still not quite certain of her personal style. I call this one &amp;quot;Michael Jackson meets Marilyn Monroe...in a mental institution.&amp;quot; Two years later, Geena Davis was equally guilty of abusing her accessorizing privileges when she added above-elbow-length gloves to the already-frightening mix of witchy shoes, a ruffled asymmetrical hemline, and some cups-runneth-over type cleavage. Yowza. We dig a little bit of menswear inspiration around here, but Celine Dion&amp;#x27;s 1999 backwards-tuxedo-and-jaunty-hat ensemble went straight to weird territory. One word: Don&amp;#x27;t. Sign up for Glamour.com&amp;amp;#8217;s Style Tips of the Week and Beauty Tip of the Day newsletters! No list of Oscar Don&amp;#x27;ts would be complete without the Grandaddy of them all--Bjork&amp;#x27;s unforgettable 2001 swan dress. It&amp;#x27;s been so ceaselessly mocked, parodied, and referred to that it&amp;#x27;s almost transcended to Do status! Luckily for Hilary Swank, the backless Guy Laroche gown she wore to pick up her Best Actress statue in 2005 all but obliterated any memory of this hideous pink confection from 2003. Lesson learned: Just say no to Pepto Bismol-inspired tulle! Oh, Uma...where should we even begin with this dress? Its insanely ill fit? Its completely unflattering, paper bag-like quality? The fact that it looks like it&amp;#x27;s accessorized with a backpack? I&amp;#x27;m sorry to say 2004 was not your year, doll. Taraji P. Henson made our Best Dressed list in Roberto Cavalli last year, but she didn&amp;#x27;t fare quite as well back in 2005. Carolina Herrera may have said orange is the new red, but when you&amp;#x27;re spilling out of your dress like this, it&amp;#x27;s just the new TMI. There you have it, ladies! Which dress gets your vote for the hands-down biggest Don&amp;#x27;t? If you absolutely had to pick one of these to wear yourself, which one would you go for?
