In their successful pursuit of fame, it seems that some celebrities lose all sense of style for a variety of reasons. Maybe they're surrounded by yes-men who warp their understanding of what looks good. Perhaps the air up there has made them think they can do no wrong, and the man in the mirror looks sharp as a knife to them. Or maybe they're just not good at it. Whatever the reasons are, they are rampant.

But with so many celebs dressing so well, these guys don't really have an excuse. If they don't want to be on this list two year in a row, then they better get it together in 2013. Despite having a year of fame and wealth, these are The 10 Worst Dressed Celebrities of 2012.

10. 50 Cent

It seems like 50 Cent spent most of 2012 beefing with anyone he came across (except QVC), but maybe it's time to for the rapper/mogul to throw shots at his wardrobe. If he's going to continue making big moves in the coming year, Fifty is gonna have to dress like it's 2013. He spent most of this year rocking looks that might have worked a decade ago.

9. Chris Evans

It looks like even Captain America can't shield himself from ill-fitting clothes. We can't fault Chris Evans' relaxed and simple style, but someone needs to clue him in on how clothes should fit. If a cozyboy look is your thing, there are plenty of options available to keep it comfy. Incredibly, the Avengers star is wearing And1 sweatshorts in the second picture, and no one should we wearing And1 in 2012.

8. Jonah Hill

With three films added to his growing resume in 2012, funnyman Jonah Hill had quite a year. Style-wise, the comedy actor also had a pretty funny year. And his heft can't be faulted here; plenty of big dudes have dressed well without resorting to mumu's and togas. For a minute there, it looked like he was well on his way to being consistently one of the better dressed guys in Hollywood, but with even more roles coming up in the next few years, we're hoping Jonah Hill uses his paychecks to hire a tailor.

7. Tyga

The leading producer of strip club anthems spent his breakout year of 2012 dressed like he came from a futuristic titty bar. We get that Tyga's trying to rock designer pieces in luxurious materials, joining the likes of 'Ye, Pusha, and Rocky, but dude's over-flashy outfits look like they'd be unwelcome distractions at Magic City.

6. Chief Keef

We can't deny that Chief Keef's entire Finally Rich has been on repeat the moment it dropped (hell, we even dropped a Chief Keef digital cover), but that doesn't mean we can get on board with his style. Throwing on a high-end piece like Hermes or Gucci does not save an outfit from shirts that are way too tight and pants that are so low you can literally see Chief Keef's beef. Hopefully by this time next year the Chicago native will be finally well-dressed.

5. Nicolas Cage

Hollywood's least-likely action star is one of Tinseltown's worst dressed. Much like taking on roles that would be better suited for guys half his age, Nicolas Cage pushes a style agenda that he has no business dealing with. Before "clothes get weirder," he should master the basics, like pants that fit and learning to tie his shoes (Picture 5).

4. Lil Wayne

Maybe Lil Wayne thought Newt Gingrich would win the presidency and he was trying to get a jump on moon colony fashion, but these Martian boots are just one of Weezy's terrible clothing choices he made in 2012. Gaudy animal prints, an omnipresent skateboard, and endless Trukfit means Wayne looks like a tatted up mall-rat. If, as he claims, he is not a human being, then at least we know that intelligent life doesn't out-dress us.

3. Justin Bieber

Damn, Bieber. You almost converted us into believers! We were just about to look past "Swaggy" and congratulate you on becoming a well-dressed man...and then you had to go and try to make drop crotch pants a thing. Is this Scooter's fault? Is this how you're handling Selena? Come on, Justin. Leave the diaper-like jawns to your earliest YouTube videos. Also, please stop trying to dress like Michael. You ain't there yet.

2. Chris Brown

What a year for Chris Brown! Throwing bottles, quitting Twitter for a hot second, somehow still having a career after he assaulted Rihanna, and looking like a paroled Amber Rose are now humbly joined by being the second worst dressed celebrity of 2012. Not to give him any more shine than he deserves, but here's hoping he grabs the No. 1 spot on this list in 2013.

1. Russell Brand

At this point, we're pretty sure Russell Brand is just trolling us. How can a man who claims to be sober look so fucking insane?! We feel for anyone who has to go through a public divorce, but the comedic actor needs to get it together. By perfecting the heroin-chic rockstar meets C.H.U.D. look, we're definitely not laughing with him.
