Carlos Sainz emerges victorious in the Australian Grand Prix following Max Verstappen's withdrawal from the race.

Picture from Wikipedia Carlos Sainz led his Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc to a spectacular one-two finish at the Australian Grand Prix, as Max Verstappen's Formula 1 dominance faced a setback. Sainz swiftly overtook the reigning world champion's Red Bull on the second lap, only for Verstappen to retire due to brake failure after just four laps. From then on, the Spanish driver maintained control of the race, while Leclerc made his way past McLaren's Lando Norris during the initial pit-stop phase. The race concluded under a virtual safety car following a crash involving George Russell. In a bid for sixth place, Russell lost control of his Mercedes on the final lap, resulting in a crash, though he escaped unhurt. Alonso and Russell faced scrutiny from stewards, with Alonso receiving a 20-second penalty and three penalty points on his license for his driving conduct. It was a challenging day for Mercedes, as Lewis Hamilton retired due to an engine failure after 16 laps, solidifying their position as non-contenders. Norris led McLaren to a three-four finish ahead of Red Bull's Sergio Perez, who failed to capitalize on Verstappen's retirement. Sainz exhibited commanding performance throughout the race, demonstrating resilience just 16 days after undergoing surgery to remove his appendix, which caused him to miss the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Verstappen's unexpected retirement allowed Sainz to seize control, ultimately denying Verstappen a chance to equal his record of 10 consecutive wins. Sainz, who had outperformed Leclerc in qualifying, maintained his lead comfortably, taking advantage of strategic maneuvers during pit stops to secure a significant advantage over his teammate.

Jennifer Lawrence's Dress Rips at the SAG Awards? Here's What Really Happened




Don't lie! Wardrobe malfunctions at awards shows are exciting, and viewers might have thought there was a major slip onstage when Jennifer Lawrence accepted her award for Best Female Actor in a Film.

But alas, 'twas not the case.

While making what seemed to be the very treacherous walk up to the stage in that long Christian Dior gown, it looked like J.Law's dress decided to just split open.

So did it rip? No!

First of all, this is a Christian Dior gown we're talking about here; those things don't just rip, even if Lawrence says that she's "considered a fat actress." Secondly, it was too clean a cut for it to be a rip, so here's what was going on.

The original gown, which was revealed on the runway at a couture fashion show on Monday, showed clear distinctions that were connected by sheer lining. Lawrence's dress, however, had the lining hidden, so people couldn't really tell that it was a tiered gown.

Once she was approaching the stage to get her award, the combination of her pulling up on the top part of the dress and possibly having the train stuck on a heel (or something) revealed the sheer lining in between.

And there you have it!

Case closed.

Most outrageous celebrity outfits

Snakeskins, peacock feathers and ribbons are just a few of the many things it takes to make a celebrity's outfit outrageous. This gallery shows you how the pros do it!







Courtney Love

She's been called 'the most controversial woman in the history of rock' and this outfit was only befitting of the title. Pink lingerie covered with a pink net. Add a couple of wings, a tulle tail, unflattering goggles and a sleek guitar and you're on your way to becoming the frontwoman of Hole.








Katy Perry




The 'Hot n Cold' singer is not looking too hot in this merry-go-round getup. Her fair-inspired dress by Manish Arora screamed "Carousel rides over here!" Ok, so she's not hot in this number, but she does look kind of cute, don't you agree?







Kanye West & Amber Rose


The snakeskin that Amber opted to cover her human skin with still manages to leave us a little speechless. Once you draw your gaze away from the skin you can actually notice the jewellery she pairs it with, but this doesn't help as no kind of jewellery can actually make that skin look any better. Ok, now drag your gaze away from Amber altogether and take a look at boyfriend Kanye's accessory - Hennessy Cognac!







Bjork


The Icelandic singer was known to have strange dressing streak so it shouldn't really have come as a shock when she decided to wear a nude body suit and throw a tulle wrap with a swan head over it, but it did. It got the cameras flashing and left the fashionistas talking for weeks.







Lil Kim





Pink and white hair, shredded white cloth that is kept together by colourful ribbons, purple tinted shades and more net! Lil Kim walks into our gallery of 'most outrageous outfits worn by celebrities' in style? Umm make that ease.








Rihanna



Jamaican beauty, Rihanna goes for a x-rated look (forgive the sad pun). Her asymmetrical catsuit revealing half a bra and one long leg, her spunky hairdo and thick black eyeliner are without a doubt sexy, but it's also weird, leaving us with the conclusion that this outfit is OUTRAGEOUS!







Bai Ling


What would this gallery be without an appearance from the notorious Bai Ling with all her wardrobe malfunctions and bizarre clothes? A black strapless bra that's close to another one of those afore-mentioned malfunctions and bright red mini with fish-net stockings is still pretty racy despite her attempt at covering up with sheer black lace.







Bootsy Collins


If you know this man, you're probably wondering when he's ever dressed normally. For those who don't, he probably never has dressed 'normally'. But this garish outfit he wore to the BET screams for attention and boy did he get it!







Britney Spears


Here's the still fresh-faced and hot Britney at the 31st annual American Music Awards in 2003. It looks like the 'womanizer' singer chose to wear eye-grabbing costumes for her performances even back in the day.







Janet Jackson


The pop hunk, Justin Timberlake gets no attention here. All eyes on Janet! The wardrobe malfunction is considered to be the most famous one yet.







Drew Barrymore


With so many celebrities sporting tattoos, the 'Whip it' director decided to wear a dress that came with tattoos attached. She avoided the unnecessary mess, pain and finality that is normally associated with the tattoo. Moving on, do you like her dual-coloured hair?









Lady Gaga


The undisputed queen of wackiness, Lady Gaga smears fake blood (we hope) on her abs, legs and spatters a little on her white cut-out leotard as well. For wannabe outrageous dressers, take notes or use her look to inspire yourselves.







Lil Kim


Lil Kim makes another eye-popping appearance in her wild zebra look that is mixed with...pink and yellow? Sigh. If she was going for pretty, she missed it by more than a yard.







Paris Hilton


So everyone's sick of the attention seeking heiress, but she isn't sick of the attention just yet. What does she do to make sure she doesn't lose the attention? She pull's a 'Paris' by slipping into this revealing dress just to make sure that the real stars of the night don't get more attention than she does.









Rihanna


Never one to shy away from the outrageous, Rihanna wears a cut-out bodysuit that shows off as much as it hides.
The Checklist:
Shows skin - check!
Stylish hairdo - check!
Well-toned figure - check!
Outrageous - Double check!







Courtney Love


The fresh 'out-of-bed' hair is the last thing on anyone's mind when you look at Love. May be she thought her dress wasn't fancy enough and sent it through a shredder. If she wanted fab raves, it didn't work. If she wanted attention irrespective of whether it was good or bad, it totally worked!







Don Yates


Don Yates was one of the American Gladiators. Seriously? The floor-length robe he wore over his faded torn jeans along with his wrist bands give you an idea that an ancient Roman gladiator was thrown into the future and asked to dress accordingly with no help of any kind.







Britney Spears


Britney does it again at the MTV Music Awards! She wore a green bra with green and blue hot pants that seemed to have a blue cape attached. All the colourful trinkets and body stickers weren't enough for the then pop princess and she introduced the albino python to her act.







Lara Flynn Boyle


'The Practice' star definitely needed a little practice when it came to dressing appropriately for the prestigious Golden Globe Awards. Her tulle ballerina dress and stilettos with ribbons attached make you wonder if she was trying to audition for a role that was a whole generation younger.









Margaret Cho


This talented woman chose to do what most celebrities do at the Grammy Awards - dress outrageously! She chose a black transparent floor-length dress that had a clump of peacock feathers in appropriate places. The dress even had a very visible collar of peacock feathers.









Katy Perry


The singer, who chose to remind everyone of amusement parks in our first picture, is now evidently promoting sushi. This outfit is like Sushi in more ways than one. Some people love it while some people just don't!







Lil Kim


Lil Kim isn't looking all that little in this picture is she? Her black dress shows off exactly what isn't little about her.







Marilyn Manson


If there was a competition for 'most outrageous celebrity' this man may well be crowned king. It seems most natural for him to feature in this gallery. His blue eye shadow and tube-top with suspenders are a puzzle not to mention whatever he's wearing below it.







Britney Spears


After all the attachments to her previous forms of lingerie, Spears decides to discard them and get down to the basics alone. Sequined bra and panties paired with fishnet stockings, bling rings and a bling bracelet makes up her look while performing at the MTV Music Awards in 2007.









Christina Aguilera


Britney's long-time rival has had her share of outrageousness as you can see. Alien-like makeup paired with space-looking pants, really Christina! To prove she's human, she decides to flaunt those very human-like assets.







Rihanna


Pink umbrella, black bra and fluffy skirt and leather straps all around her body, that's the 'Umbrella' singer for you.







Phoebe Price


The actress probably wanted to match her dress with her flaming red hair and probably wanted to show off her fancy new orange lingerie as well, but since it would be inappropriate to wear lingerie to the film screening of 'The wind that shakes the barley', she threw on the see through orange cover with full sleeves et al.









Lil Kim


Here she is again! She's showing off more of her big assets AGAIN! We're hoping the yellow tinge on her face is really due to the lighting because it really contributes to the ghastliness of this picture and her lively smile is doing nothing to save it.









Cher




If this is not overdoing it, what is? Sparkly diamond shaped pieces are attached to each other to make her top which is held up by criss-crossed straps that cover her throat. Her bottom tries to keep pace with her top and has cut-out peaks on top. Her headdress is the most elaborate piece of all! If you don't find it positively alarming, it's probably because you're filled with curiosity to know whether it's made of her hair or worse still someone else's!









Lady Gaga (and all her outfits!)


Trust the singer to make bizarre stylish! We like her futuristic dress and fancy props. Her bob with bangs gets the thumbs up as well.














Marilyn Manson & Rose McGowan





Manson always stole the show with his strange outfits. This gaudy leopard suit would be a clear show-stealer, if his then girlfriend, Rose of 'Charmed' fame didn't wear black threads for a dress revealing everything!







Cher



Ok we're impressed Cher has managed to keep her good figure, but we would have believed her if she had told us rather than showed us. Does anyone think the dress might have looked better without that strange hat?











Lil Kim


If this were a competition, we know who the winner would be huh? Lil Kim appears in this gallery for the 5th time. As if her purple pantsuit with a cut-out to reveal her left breast wasn't shocking enough! She decided to go with matching hair as well.







Katy Perry


In keeping with her characteristic sensationalising dressing, Katy Perry wore a transparent body-hugging outfit to this year's MTV Movie Awards. The fit may have been perfect, but the stone-spangled material looked incredible, straight from a children's art class.











Lindsay Lohan


Keeping Katy company was Lindsay Lohan who also wore a stone-spangled jumpsuit. But unlike Katy's perfectly fitting outfit, Lohan's looked every inch a product of art-class homework badly done. Aww Lindsay, better luck next time.







Tom Cruise and Jennifer Lopez


It is no wonder that people go ga-ga over Tom Cruise's versatility as an actor (he's posing here as Les Grossman from the film Tropic Thunder). This picture is perfect for an identify-the-star contest. Doubt there will be any winner (only of course if those who know of Tropic Thunder are excluded)! Hats off Tom Cruise, the bald and fat avatar may not be anywhere near how you actually look but is neverthless a fantastic disguise. And look who's giving the fat man comic, shining relief. Oh JLo! that's too much of a shine!









Hilary Swank


Hilary Swank's dress at the Oscar after party didn't leave much to imagination.

'The Dictator' Compared To 12 Historic WTF Red Carpet Outfits'


Posted 2/24/12 12:25 pm EST by Carl Williott in Celebs, Funny, Ladies





Credit: Paramount

Sacha Baron Cohen, the man behind reality-straddling characters like Borat and Bruno, now has a new character to unleash upon the world--General Aladeen of his new movie "The Dictator." So in true SBC fashion, he wants to show up at the Oscars in character. (Why is he even invited to the Oscars, you ask? He's in "Hugo," which is up for Best Picture.)

The Oscars were swift to ban his character, but not him. So Cohen responded to the banas Aladeen. It's basically now a Jenga tower of confusing meta-publicity for both sides, which was probably the goal anyway.

At this point nobody knows what he'll do, but if he pulls through, Cohen wouldn't be the first to execute a ridiculous stunt at an awards show red carpet. Hell, it won't even be his first time. Read on to see how General Aladeen would stack up against 12 past red carpet WTF moments.

Tripping balls and dressed in drag at the self-serious, uptight Oscars. Simply cannot be topped. But that didn't stop everyone else on this list from trying.



Bjork--2001 Academy Awards

Before "Black Swan," there was Bjork Swan.
