Red Carpet Don'ts: Melanie, Scarlett, Penelope

Melanie's Tattoo

Melanie Griffith's prominet "Antonio" tattoo is a "Don't."

AMPAS

Not many actresses make huge fashion mistakes anymore. But there were a few:

  • Melanie Griffith's huge "Antonio" tattoo showing through the cold-shoulder Versace dress. Melanie: We all know he belongs to you. Chill out.
  • Scarlett Johanssen's frizzy updo with jewels was a bit scarily reminiscent of a vintage Courtney Love updo and tiara.
  • Penelope Cruz' yellow, giant bowed-back Oscar de la Renta and stuffy updo overshadowed her natural beauty. Maybe during a different fashion moment -- say, the 1980s -- she would've been a "Do."
