2009 Oscars Undressed! The Worst

Klum With a View: We really wanted to like Heidi Klum's unfurling frock, with its sharp, origami-like edges standing at attention and ready to poke at anyone who comes too close to the "Project Runway" supermogul. It turns out there's an altruistic side to her angular attire: For the second year in a row, she's wearing red for Diet Coke's Heart Truth campaign, which aims to raise awareness of heart disease in women. Klum even designed a special diamond and ruby Diet Coke charm, which is buried somewhere within the coral bracelets stacked on her left arm (or possibly hidden within the sconces doubling as earrings and dangerously weighing down her lobes). But much as we like Heidi, and charity, and Heidi doing her part for charity in a gown slit to an area where only Seal is allowed to trespass, this Roland Mouret number does nothing for her statuesque figure. Plus, there's the not-inconsequential matter of Klum's roots, which she's seemingly eager to get back to in the worst way. On either side of her temples, she's said auf wiedersehen to her blond locks and offered up a rousing howdy to icky patches of brown, which only make her slicked-back, flat-ironed scarecrow straw coif that much worse.
