The Worst Celebrity Style Fails at SXSW (So Far)

SXSW used to be a music festival where indie films got some shine, unpopular tech ideas were launched to a knowing and accepting crowd, and music acts got a chance to spread their sound to a ready audience. Now, Subway has a presence, and emerging artists like Justin Bieber are showcasing their talents. And you know what happens when you get a bunch of celebrities together all vying for attention and burn in such a short amount of time? A bunch of them will try to out-stunt one another to the point of falling flat on their face. From actors to rappers, these are The Worst Celebrity Style Fails at SXSW (So Far).

Method Man and Redman

Method Man and Redman

It's not apparent at first, but peep the video above to see Red and Meth performing at Def Jam's 30th Anniversary party both wearing capris. Now, we've said this before, but there's no good reason why dudes should ever rock three quarter length pants. Method Man went with the whites, and Redman chose camo, but let's be honest: who cares what these two are wearing when they perform together. When Red and Meth hit the stage, all focus is on lighting up your hidden L.

50 Cent

50's fit probably cost at least a few racks, but it kinda just looks like he was in the premium section of Hot Topic. An embossed leather cap with an eagle design is...unacceptable. Same goes for a varsity jacket with contrast red python print sleeves. It's just too try-hard, and if you're 50 Cent or just a regularly stylish dude, there's no need to stand out so brazenly.

Robert Rodriguez

Robert Rodriguez almost gets a pass on this because dude is a Texas native. But there are plenty of well-dressed gents coming out of the Lone Star State, and some of the most douchey people at film festivals (a very high bar) are the dudes peacocking with wild outfits. Rodriguez has worn similar outfits before, so at least he's consistently failing.

Nicolas Cage

If you're ever trying to put together a list of celebrity style fails, your first stop should be Nic Cage; dude does not disappoint. If the white tee tucked into the way too tight jeans and ostentatious belt aren't enough for you, and you're able to get past that jacket, then please peep the oversized Buddhist/anal beads dude is flaunting. Maybe his kid made it out of Legos and he felt pressured to rock this, but once again Nic Cage comes through for his 12,028,572 fail list appearance.

Diddy

It kinda pains us to knock Diddy, but this hoodie from the Power Rangers label is a pretty awful look. Leather paneling and extra long drawstrings were the first two mistakes, but who has ever required a zippered chest pocket on a hoodie? Maybe if a breast-feeding mother needed immediate access it would make sense, but when you're at a music festival in Texas, we're at a loss.

Danny Trejo

With the all-black everything and the killer lining of that jacket, this is only like a 5% fail on Danny Trejo's part. Plus, if we were to ever say that his style fully sucked, we're pretty sure he'd disembowel us in an awesome but ultimately tragic type of way. If Trejo wasn't wearing a train conductor's hat, he'd be (maybe literally) killin' it. Unfortunately, he looks like he works at a hobby shop and cooks every meal in the microwave.

Johnny Depp

If he wanted to, Johnny Depp could be one of the coolest looking dudes in the world. Instead, he looks like a taxi driver from the prequel to Sin City set in 1929. His neo-bohemian look may fly in weird places like the South of France and Los Angeles (where he calls home), but not in the real world. Instead, his pathetic-super-villain-steez is almost always chalking up another L in the Depp column.

Jon Favreau and John Leguizamo

While they're probably perfectly nice guys, together Jon Favreau and John Leguizamo look like they're selling whippets at a Junior Prom. Some of this is due to their greased curls, but most is due to Leguizamo going shirt and tie under the track jacket. Unless he's trying to tease viewers with the notion that he's also signing with adidas, then there is absolutely no need for this.

Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose

Sometimes it's fun when hip-hop couples do cute stunts like his and her outfits—but Wiz and Amber's CozyCouple outfits here are on eyesore level 10. Are these pajamas? Are they re-enacting their favorite Ja Rule video circa 2001? Is this the shoot for Wiz's new album cover in an unfortunate attempt to top this travesty? You can almost bet their baby is decked out in a matching onesie.

Bonus: This Asshole

This here is an asshole at SXSW riding a Segway while texting and wearing Google Glass. He wins the fails.
