Chris Brown has gone through ups and downs in his career, but currently he seems to be experiencing a surge in popularity. We can't really front on "Deuces" since the remix features our favorite rappers (read: excludes Tyga), and "Yeah 3X" has navel-pierced Euro chicks on lock. Looks like all the buzz for his upcoming album, F.A.M.E. has snagged him the musical guest spot on Saturday Night Live. Clap for 'em and then laugh and laugh because, let's face it, Breezy can't help himself when it comes to dressing ridiculous in times of great exposure. So in anticipation of whatever hilarious tragedy he'll treat us to on Saturday, let's take a look at 10 of Chris Brown's Funniest Fashion Fails.
Larry King Live 2009
WHAT: Larry King Live
WHEN: 2009
Complex Says: Oh man. The infamous bow tie. Apologizing on national television for pummeling a young songbird right in her gorgeous head repeated times while driving and possibly cheating on her is a challenge. Pulling off sincerity dressed like a damned ventriloquist's dummy is impossible. Also, kinda funny. That sweater!
Paris Fashion Week Jan 2010
WHAT: Paris Fashion Week
WHEN: 2010
Complex Says:
There's actually nothing wrong with the clothing. The accent color of the coat offsets the white denim and tee splendidly. And then you see the shoes. Oh. The. Shoes. Ladies' gladiator sandals on top of slouch boots? WHY??!!!
US Weekly Hot Hollywood
WHAT: Us Weekly Hot Hollywood Stars Who Care Event
WHEN: 2010
Complex Says: How many squirrels must die for you to look fly. And by fly we mean, MAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. Gross.
Champion Videoshoot
WHAT: "Champion" Videoshoot
WHEN: 2010
Complex Says: We called him a wee equestrian Christmas ornament in the past. For exactly the reason you see before you.
New Year's Eve
WHAT: New Year's Eve at Club LOVE, DC
WHEN: 2010
Complex Says: The first fail is participating in a dougie contest with John Wall. You will lose. Second, is wearing no shirt at the club. Third is wearing a jacket over an invisible shirt. Tattoo is not clothing, dun.
105.1 Powerhouse Concert 2009
WHAT: 105.1 Powerhouse Concert
WHEN: 2009
Complex Says: Just because you're the only human being alive that dances almost as well as Michael Jackson, doesn't mean that you have to wear a replica of his jacket, too. Sequins are a choking hazard. Especially when you have an entire bag of dicks to eat for being such an egregious sartorial offense. The terminator gloves and sneakers look like garbage bags wrapped in electrical tape and the sunglasses the absolute worst. Also, let's just go ahead and get it out of the way right now. Does he look a little, husky in this shot or what?
Graffiti Album Cover
WHAT: Graffiti Album Cover
WHEN: 2009
Complex Says: Um, is that a sash around his waist? A cummerbund? High-waisted pants? Corset? Control-top pantyhose? Either way, all of them go into the FAIL category. More things that are wrong: robot arm. Poseur electric guitar on an R&B album cover. OD high-top boots. Super-weird Mucinex cartoon monsters on the bottom.
106 and Park 2010
WHAT: 106 and Park
WHEN: 2010
Complex Says: Shawl-collared cardigans and raw denim are both great trends, so thank God Chris has the power to make unfunny cool things hysterical. That face is priceless for example. The pink buffalo plaid sweater is real tight in the middle, and the jorts are "HULK SMAAAAASH" small.
Fashion Rocks 2008
WHAT: Fashion Rocks
WHEN: 2008
Complex Says: Chris totally stole this from a chick who works Medieval Times. And then punched her in the face. Kidding! (Not really). The awkward stance and creepy square-toed shoes don't help his situation either. Fashion Rocks, but this dude dresses like he smokes 'em. ZING!
Paris Menswear Fashion Week 2010
WHAT: Jean-Paul Gaultier Fashion Show, Paris Fashion Week
WHEN: 2010
Complex Says: Oh man, Breezy's turtleneck is see-through but can we talk about these pants? The amount of harnesses around his legs is an S&M nightmare. Muthafuckin' G-I-M-P.
