And the Juno for Worst Dressed goes to—oh God, where to begin?
And the Juno for Worst Dressed goes to—oh God, where to begin?
Last night’s awards ceremony was hyped as the cool, hip, young Junos, but apparently many of the celebs in attendance didn’t get the memo. We don’t want to be overly critical here. We wish we could gush about all the gorgeous fashion on the Canadian red carpet, but—sigh—it was one sartorial train wreck after the next. See our picks for the few hits and many misses below.

- Emily Haines is a great dresser, but she often goes overboard with the whole “I haven’t showered in three weeks” vibe. Luckily, last night proved important enough to warrant some advanced hygiene and a blow dry. That, plus a white, silk romper (by Kakia) and loads of bling created a look that was classy, but still indie enough to slip into Sweaty Betty’s for a post-Juno pint. (Image: George Pimentel)<br />

- The Blue Rodeo front man is best known for his dreamy denim and plaid style, but it turns out that Toronto’s tallest drink of water looks just as good in a suit. Note the perfectly slim cut that flatters Cuddy’s figure. We also like that he skipped the tie. A lot of Juno attendees—who obviously aren’t used to suiting up—looked like they were en route to tax camp. Ahem, Dallas Green. (Image: George Pimentel)<br />

- We’re going to look on the bright side here. The dress isn’t perfect, but it’s event- appropriate, it fits well and the colour is undeniably eye catching. Maybe not a homerun, but definitely a triple. Wish we could say the same about Dean and Dan Caten (aka Dsquared) who are looking utterly asinine in acid wash. (Image: George Pimentel)<br />

- Yes, she is looking awesome <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIQcPUh6te0" target="_blank">these days</a>, but certain styles are best left to those under thirty (never mind 40). Come on Sarah—you are an earth mother, a feminist and a mature musical icon. So, what’s with the Paris Hilton party dress? (Image: George Pimentel)<br />
- Worst all around inappropriate: Sarah McLachlan

- On the plus side, it’s definitely not Shania’s <a href="http://www.shaniasplace.com/Up_Gallery/PictureScans/030406_Junos2003/jpgs/030406_HQJunoAwds_29.jpg" target="_blank">worst-ever Juno outfit</a>, but we’re still not digging this Zuhair Muhad gown. It’s a little stiff, a little dated and a little “Hey Snow White, do you want to try one of my poisonous apples?” (Image: George Pimentel)<br />

Ben Mulroney wore a leather suit. A leather suit! I’m not sure how he didn’t make this list.
It’s not that Canadians don’t know how to dress. We do understated hipster quite well. We also do classic maven and ruffled intellectual with aplomb.
Um, it’s just that we don’t know to dress UP.
