Lady Gaga's inflatable star, Sinitta's questionable body merkin and David McIntosh's shorter than short shorts.

It's been a year filled with celebrities in eye-popping outfits, and here's those that left a lasting impression - for a variety of reasons...

1. Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga trumped all other outfits as she arrived to a club in Paris inside a giant inflatable holographic star.

The singer had just finished her 'ArtRAVE: The ARTPOP Ball' world tour, and celebrated in the eye-catching creation. We wonder how she got through the door...

2. Bleona Qereti

Bleona Qereti made sure we'd know who she was when she turned up at the American Music Awards in a sheer fishnet dress over a pair of silver nipple tassels and matching underwear.

The Albanian singer and actress turned heads in the revealing number during the annual event in Los Angeles this November.

3. Bobby Norris

Bobby Norris already made our surprising showbiz moments of the year with this here ensemble (if one can even call it that) - but so jaw-dropping was his, ahem, ball bag, we had to use it twice.

4. Rita Ora


Rita Ora seemed to be going for sexy Victorian ringmaster in her unusual get-up as she arrived at the Jingle Ball in New York's Madison Square Garden.

5. Charli XCX


But Rita wasn't the only one donning a risqué number at the annual festive pop event. Charli XCX graced the Jingle Ball's red carpet in a sheer nightie-style floor-length dress with strategically-placed fluffy pom poms.

6. Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus hasn't been seen in a sensible outfit since about 2007, but the above attire is probably her most surreal yet.

Performing at the Art Basel VIP Preview in Miami, the singer wore a silver tinselled wig, disco ball-inspired nipple tassels and sheer silver sparkly tights with a thong suspender sling over the top.

7. Ellie Goulding


Ellie Goulding stood out in her salmon slashed number as she arrived on the red carpet at the inaugural BBC Music Awards.

8. Katie Price

Katie Price wore a typically demure and understated outfit for her latest book launch... We're only yanking your chain, of course. Katie wore a plunging leotard, fishnet stockings and a lace cape that took us down memory lane (well, to two years ago, if we're going to be precise).

9. Sinitta

Forget the fabled palm tree leaves of X Factor yesteryear, Sinitta upped her game in 2014 by donning a body merkin and a native American headdress as she joined Simon Cowell for Judges' Houses.

With this double denim ensemble, Katy Perry and Riff Raff were doing their best Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake impression at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards in LA.

12. Rihanna


Rihanna pretty much went semi naked in a sheer dress encrusted with hundreds of thousands of crystals at the 2014 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York.

The singer donned a custom Adam Selman gown encrusted with a whopping 216,000 Swarovski crystals, complete with matching headpiece and a fur shawl, as she was honoured with the Fashion Icon of the Year award at the prestigious event.

David McIntosh left very little to the imagination in his eye-wateringly shorter than short shorts while out and about with former girlfriend Kelly Brook in LA.

14. Rumer Willis

Rumer Willis turned heads in a black cut-out skirt as she attended the fifth Annual Elle Women in Music Celebration in Los Angeles. The star (and daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore) was also on hand to DJ at the event.

15. Justin Bieber


The hat, the bandanas, the t-shirt, the chain. We just weren't feeling it. Justin Bieber was performing at Coachella with rapper Chance. Just see what the fashion experts had to say.

16 Cher


Cher gave us the show-stopping stage costumes we were hoping for on her aptly-titled 'Dress to Kill' tour.

17 Sinitta (again)

Luckily Sinitta had trusty old Louis Walsh on hand to help prevent a serious wardrobe malfunction as the pair attended the I Can't Sing press night at the London Palladium.
