Awards season is game time for major actors and celebrity stylists. Most see the red carpet as an opportunity to showcase designer gowns and prove their fashion sensibility. For others, it's a chance to take...risks.

These gambles can sometimes land an actor on the renowned "Best Dressed" list, but many simply don't pay off. With the bar set so high, it can be hard to find success in the unconventional. Interestingly enough, it is these moments — the faux pas — that transcend transience and remain iconic for years to come.

From tragically placed darts to experiments in pantsuits, these looks highlight the bold, the bad and the ugly of the Oscars red carpet. We can't wait to see who will join the ranks of these daring stars come Sunday. The 88th annual Academy Awards airs Feb. 28 at 8:30 p.m. ET.
