While some stars walked the Academy Awards red carpet in stunning gowns and sharp suits, a few others sported outfits that could have used some tweaks — or been changed entirely.
From Elle Fanning to Whoopi Goldberg, here are the night's looks that ultimately missed the mark.

Locke, who is in the Netflix series "Heartstopper," wore an assortment of colors and pieces that ultimately didn't work together.
They included a white blouse with a matching bowtie, a long vest covered in gold sequins, gray trousers with sharp pleats, and a black suit jacket with tails.

Reid, best known for "Euphoria," made a statement in a red Alexandre Vauthier minidress with a matching cape and gold belt.
Unfortunately, it looked more like a designer Little Red Riding Hood costume than an Oscar-worthy outfit.
Rachel Sennott

The large, pink sequins that decorated Sennott's strapless gown dated her look. Similarly, her black, knee-length boots didn't feel cohesive with the dress.
Smaller sparkles and more sophisticated accessories could have elevated the ensemble.
Sennott recently appeared in "SNL," the movie about the origins of "Saturday Night Live."
Elle Fanning

Fanning, who played Bob Dylan's girlfriend Suze Rotolo in "A Complete Unknown," is a consistent style star, but her latest Oscars look was underwhelming.
Givenchy custom-made her white, sleeveless gown which had a full lace skirt, a black bow belt, and a deep sweetheart neckline.
Her Cartier necklace was eye-catching and glamorous, but it made a bigger statement than the rest of her ensemble.
Whoopi Goldberg

Christian Siriano designed her Cinderella-esque ballgown.
While its off-the-shoulder sleeves and classic silhouette suited Goldberg, its shiny fabric distracted from the overall look.

The musician chose a statement-making gown in an off-green shade. It was decorated with silver sequins, accessorized with a brown belt, and had a raw hem.
Unfortunately, the top of the gown was too prom-like, while its bottom half looked messy and unfinished.
Monica Barbaro

Barbaro, who starred in "A Complete Unknown," sported a custom gown from Christian Dior.
The dress had potential, but it ultimately fell short. Its full pink skirt was wrinkled, its corseted waist sat just a touch too high, and its sparkling bralette top appeared to be ill-fitting.
