The only thing worse than sickly red eyes is pairing them with a goth lip. Though the pinkish red is sparingly used in the corners of the eyes, the overall look is just a bit too close to the designer's "Japanese horror flick" vision for comfort. -- Charli, Associate Editor

This pale-faced goth look with a powder pink lip looks great on the models, but for us normal people, it would result in a barrage of, "Are you OK? You look so pale!" comments all day. Warm up the look by putting a bit of color on cheeks. -- Sarah, Assistant Editor

This disheveled, styled-by-a-tornado-looking updo just doesn't translate to real life -- even according to the genius stylist behind the look. It's a masterpiece really, just not one most women would care to wear. -- Kristen, Senior Editor

Though creative, this two-toned, Geisha-inspired look is just plain wacky. The high shine not only looks like a pain to wash out, but adds a shellacked effect to an already rigid structure that's far from inviting. -- Charli, Associate Editor

Philosophy by Albert Ferretti, Worst Hair
While this messy bun looks bedhead-chic on
the runway, in real life it looks more "I can't be bothered to style my hair
until I've had my caffeine." The teasing is great, but a slightly smoother
finish is needed for everyday. -- Sarah, Assistant Editor
