Goldie Hawn Has Been Guilty Of Wearing Some Inappropriate Outfits

Goldie Hawn is usually a total fashionista. The legendary actor has decades of red carpet experience under her belt, getting her start in the 1960s when she appeared on the sitcom "Good Morning World." She's imparted plenty of fashion wisdom to us and her kin since then, as her daughter Kate Hudson told Style.com, "In terms of her style, what I love about my mom is that it was always her own. My mom knows what she likes and sticks with it. She always looks beautiful and wears the things she feels good in — that's where I get that from." Hawn proved that via her far-from-frumpy mother of the groom look at son Oliver Hudson's wedding.

But "The First Wives Club" actor is living proof that even the most experienced of clothes horses don't always get it right, as this long-time star has worn multiple outfits that didn't cut it. We don't just mean her ensemble didn't flatter her figure or had clashing colors and prints. A handful of Hawn's looks have been downright inappropriate, including sweatpants on the red carpet and a distractingly plunging dress at a charity event.

When Goldie Hawn attended the 2008 Berlinale Film Festival, she didn't exactly seem dressed for the occasion. The usually well-dressed star wore a bland, all-black ensemble comprised of clunky boots, leggings, and a dress. Even the fur-look coat and a long string of pearls couldn't elevate her aesthetic, which felt underwhelming for a formal red carpet. It gave the impression that the A-Lister didn't care about the event. We're sure that's not the case, but it serves as a reminder of why underdressing is a fashion mistake that's a complete turn-off.

A decade after Goldie Hawn's underdressed fashion faux pas, she made the same mistake at "The Christmas Chronicles" premiere. To support her life partner and star of the movie, Kurt Russell, she wore an all-black outfit, including a simple tank top, sweatpants, and ballet flats. As comfy as the garments may have been, sweatpants have no place on a red carpet. Though we understand Hawn not wanting to steal focus from Russell, considering her usual penchant for dressing up, her plain garb made it seem like she would have preferred to be chilling at home.

Goldie Hawn had everyone staring at a 1999 Tibet Benefit Dinner in a dress more appropriate for a movie premiere. Hawn's slinky, light blue lace number was translucent with a deep plunge. She looked gorgeous, but it felt disrespectful for an event attended by the Dalai Lama, who likely didn't appreciate seeing so much skin. The backlash was so intense that her rep was forced to speak out, telling The Daily News (via Rediff), "What can I say? Goldie is a drop-dead gorgeous woman who turns heads."

Goldie Hawn admitted to E! News that her dress for the 1996 Vanity Fair Oscar Party was a mistake because it fell and exposed her chest at the event. She wore a strapless, light green column dress with a satin panel over her chest. The garment itself was simple yet stunning, but considering the Oscars is one of the most formal gatherings on the calendar, any dress that risks an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction isn't an appropriate choice.

Goldie Hawn wore a red sari-like dress to the wedding of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones. But Hawn's ornate, one-shoulder, red and gold garment was an odd choice, seeing as the event was held in New York City and wasn't linked to the Indian culture. It came across as both culturally appropriative and scene-stealing, and the color was ill-advised. Red is a color to avoid wearing to weddings because it can be distracting in photos, potentially detracting from the bridal gown.

In 2013, Goldie Hawn played tennis in a long dress and heels at the Novak Djokovic Foundation inaugural gala dinner, risking a serious injury in doing so. Her flowy, halterneck, white and gold dress could have easily tripped her, and, as stylish and modern as her metallic heels were, she could easily have rolled her ankle. Fortunately, the star came out unscathed, but having a second outfit on hand withj leggings and sneakers would have been far safer and more appropriate.
