The Worst Celebrity Beauty Trends of 2011
For all of the breath-taking red carpet beauty moments in 2011, there were equal amounts of what-was-she-thinking makeup and hair flops.
Worst False Lower Lashes: Zooey Deschanel
Zooey Deschanel's perfectly symmetrical, spidery fringe is creeping us out! The doll-like look should start and stop with her flawless, porcelain skin.
Worst Haircut: Rose Byrne
When you're as gorgeous as Rose Byrne, it's hard to imagine anything would look bad. While the Bridesmaids star is still stunning, we nearly cried when she made the ill-decision to cut some serious fringe.

Worst Orange Lipstick: Petra Nemcova
Pops of bright lipstick is a beauty trend that won't be loosing steam anytime soon. Still, Petra Nemcova makes a misstep, picking a color that looks pure orange rather than a coral or tangeriney-red.
Worst Gray: Penelope Cruz
A gorgeous Penelope Cruz takes a walk on the gray side, showing a salt-and-pepper look on the set of her latest movie. Gray and white hair can be beautiful, but only if it's super hydrated.
Worst Bowl Cut: Mena Suvari
There's something about Mena Suvari's glossy bowl cut that doesn't quite work. Perfectly-in-place strands feel more right for long locks; we would've liked to see this length with loose waves or curls.

Worst Train Wreck: Lindsay Lohan
The overly processed platinum hair, the costume-y makeup. We're speechless.
Worst Dolly Parton Influence: Kelly Osbourne
Why does Kelly Osbourne look more like a southern Toddlers & Tiaras star than her normal, spunky Brit-self? The heavy lashes and coiffed 'do might work on someone older (or with a drawl) but they feel all wrong on her.
Worst Matte Lips: Kourtney Kardashian
The most stylish of the Kardashian klan, Kourtney, makes a rare beauty mistake. Her nude lips are on-trend, but a matte lipstick, rather than a high-shine gloss, makes it look like someone just covered her pout with foundation. Not cute!

Worst Genie 'Do: Katy Perry
Katy Perry has fun with her hair and makeup, yes. But the popstar doesn't always nail it. Here, this high, overly extension'ed pony looks way too gimmicky.
Worst Redhead: Julianne Hough
Some girls just work as blondes. Such is the case with Julianne Hough, who loses some of her sparkle when stepping out with light auburn locks earlier this year.
Worst Lip Gloss: Jessica Szohr
What is that color exactly? Jessica Szohr's icy plum/pink/nude gloss doesn't flatter her complexion. And it actually makes her look like she's in the early stages of hypothermia.
Worst Bronze: Ashley Tisdale
Did her High School education teach her absolutely nothing? Ashley Tisdale picks a bronzer several shades too dark, and looks like she dived in a vat full of it!
