Sorry to break it to you, but not all beauty and fashion trends look good on everyone (see which celeb beauty trends to try and avoid). Case in point: I can't bring myself to wear those of-the-moment genie pants -- they just scream "MC Hammer" to me -- but I do wear coral lipstick and I would totally recreate Leona Lewis' fishtail braid, which is one of the "bests" on our list of best and worst celeb braids. Which one would you wear? And who's look is making you gag most?

Worst: Mena Suvari

Mena Suvari's upside down French braid brings back all our worst memories of high school -- remember those '80s prom hairstyles? See what makes her a double hair offender.

Best: Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson's half-braided updo packs a three "S" punch as it's: smart, sexy and sweet. Read where to wear this braid.

Worst: Elizabeth Banks

We don't quite understand why a beautiful woman like Elizabeth Banks decided to wear this ratty, headband braid to a star-studded gala. See why you should NOT attempt this braided fiasco.

Best: Leona Lewis

Lewis' fishtail braid is super sexy and worthy of a night out on the town. See which tough critic we think would agree with us.
