From the Academy Awards and the Cannes Film Festival to the Grammys and the Billboard Music Awards, you can rest assured that we report on all of Hollywood's biggest events in order to tell you, our readers, what each and every stylish celeb is wearing.

Now, whether you love them or hate them, you can't deny that the most controversial outfits are the most fun to talk about.
