If bad outfits were a genre, these celebrities would be topping the charts at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

Some of the biggest names in showbiz gathered together at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 17 for the glitzy show. From bedazzled chaos to some cowboy glam, there was plenty for the eyes to savor.

Here are some of the red carpet outfits that had the internet talking.

#1 Jojo Siwa

JoJo Siwa, who has given her signature bows a rest, chose some eye-catching headgear to wear on the iHeart Radio Music Awards 2025 red carpet. 

Some called it “a hot mess as usual.”

The 21-year-old singer said she was scrambling to find something for her outfit and found the dramatic headpiece on Etsy just two days before the show.

“My mom, she made this,” the Dance Moms alum told E! News on the red carpet. “And she was like, ‘OK, honey, I’ll trust you, but I don’t think it’s gonna [work],’ and here we are.”

Netizens wondered, “What’s the concept here?” 

“If cringe was a real life entity,” one commenter said, while another wrote, “looks like Gaga went to a garage sale dude.”

“Sheesh Jojo leave some foam circles & bedazzling for the rest of us,” another wrote.

“Really cringy,” one said. “She only gets attention because she loud. I don’t like her representing LGBTQ+ community. Super trashy.”

#2 Benson Boone

Benson Boone admitted the high-waisted pants he wore with his sheer lace shirt were too snug.

“I feel good. Pants are a little tight,” the 22-year-old singer told iHeartRadio during the pre-show. 

He said he usually doesn’t eat on “these kind of days.” 

“But I ate a lot this morning, and I’m feeling it right now, but it’s great to be here,” he added.

“Don’t ever wear that shirt again. Wtf!” one said. “But yay for u.”

The singer’s hit track Beautiful Things was named song of the year during the show.

Brittany Cartwright had a matching red pout to go with her bodycon maroon dress. But the appearance had people saying she needs to “invest in a stylist.”

“She is rocking that!! NOT,” one said. 

“Brittany really needs to invest in a stylist,” said another. “Or at least ask somebody that would tell her the truth does this look good on me?”

“That’s about as plastic as her face,” said another.
