The Golden Globes are Jan. 8, and we'll be providing coverage of the glamorous event all night long. Until then, why not take a look back at some past red carpet missteps? The photos here prove that even natural beauties have their off days. So keep reading, and beware: '80s hair, heavy-handed bronzer, and drawn-on brows are comin' your way.
OK, so it was the '70s and the poodle curls were popular, but Barbra Streisand's current look, a sleek bob, is one of her best.
Irene Cara was behind the huge Flashdance theme song, but before she sang it, she decided to accessorize her curls with a bowler hat on the red carpet. Ah, the '80s. What a feeling.
Back in the day, Ann Jillian was a pretty big sex symbol. And while her haircut would still be current today, the pink-all-over look clashed with the, uh, pink tuxedo.
Rebecca De Mornay's chiseled cheeks and teased bangs were very much in style in the late '80s, but the look isn't the best today.
Laura Dern is beautiful, but these floppy early '90s curls weren't her best moment.
There's hair up there somewhere, but Juliette Lewis hid it under this unflattering Cleopatra headpiece not long after she and Brad Pitt split up.
Angela Bassett is a gorgeous lady, but the up and over to one side hair doesn't really withstand the test of time.
While there's potentially a right shade of red hair for everybody, this one unfortunately didn't complement Jennifer Tilly's complexion.
The Globes proved to be a hair-raising experience for Jodie Foster at the 1996 show.
Now we know where Twilight's hair and makeup people came up with Alice's look. Also, doesn't Helena Bonham Carter seem like she would be awesome to hang out with?
The Hole frontwoman revived the grunge look several years too late, pairing a vampy lipstick with mussed-up hair.
It's rarely spoken of, but Gwyneth Paltrow went through a short Goth phase.
Kim Cattrall's foundation was much darker than her actual skin tone, resulting in an unfortunate contrast.
Portia de Rossi is hilarious and gorgeous, but this style was perhaps a little too costumey.
Rachel Griffiths's prim ringlets sort of made her look like a Louisa May Alcott character. We're on the fence about this one. What about you?
This hairstyle is difficult to pull off, but Bai Ling has the kind of out-there style that could make it chic. But wearing purple eyeliner underneath the eye and extending the brow with pencil made her features look harsher than they are.
Red lipstick is cool. So is green eye shadow. Together, though, they compete for attention.
Oh, Angelina. A little brow pencil goes a long way. Learn from this misstep: brows look better when they're not so rigidly drawn. These days, Angelina's look is just as striking, but in a softer and more flattering way.
It's great that Sharon Stone takes risks, but this ensemble and makeup were a little much.
SJP may be a fashion icon, but her makeup artist could have toned down the color a tad for the 2003 red carpet.
Nicole Kidman's 2004 look was so busy that it detracted from her gorgeous skin and features.
Debi Mazar's pompadour style was a tad severe with the monotone hair, eye, and lip color.
Muddy eye makeup and a bronzer overload distracted from Paris Hilton's pretty features.
Love Vanessa Williams, but a smoother, sleeker style would have been nice to see on 2007's red carpet.
Renée Zellweger's makeup looked good, but the overwrought hair detracted from her face and dress.
A sweet smile looked lovely on Maria Menounos, but her huge updo overwhelmed her delicate features.
Although Jane Krakowski could blame the limp hair on the worrisome weather in 2010, what was her excuse for the not-so-sexy over-eye bang?
For the record, gray hair is sophisticated. But Helen Mirren's ombré blond tips can only be classified as . . . strange.
Rosie has flawless bone structure, so it makes no sense to us that her makeup artist would contour her cheekbones further — and then overly blend so that Rosie's face looked muddy.
Pretty Hayden's makeup artist went a little heavy-handed on the blush, making her bold shadow and lipstick look especially garish.
We love Nicole's hair and makeup looks separately, but when combined, they had a bit of a 1970s grandma feel.
Sarah's big hair and highly airbrushed skin might be a better fit for a beauty pageant.
Do you think Helena's facial expression is how she feels about her mussed updo?
We're big fans of Jen, but this look feels like Rockettes stage makeup gone terribly awry.
We're pretty sure that Karen from Will & Grace would have strong words about this haircut.
Katie's ultralong ponytail was more appropriate for a feast in Rivendell than an award ceremony.
Lana's cascading bouffant and cat eyeliner looked chicer when Priscilla Presley rocked it in the '60s.
While we adored that Maria attempted a trendy braid technique, the placement of this plait made her appear as if she was wearing a strange hat.
Maura's lipstick was a tad too light for her complexion. If she had been wearing more blush or bronzer, she might not have looked so washed out!
At the back of this unusual faux side-bob was a very cool braid, but from the front, the style looked a little cartoonish.
