Sexyy Red — Katt Williams
- Why It Flopped: The “Get It Sexyy” rapper took on comedic legend Katt Williams, but the execution relied on a basic oversized suit and a cheap wig. Fans on X dragged the look for having zero budget or effort.

Justine Skye — High-Fashion Dipsy (Teletubbies)
- Why It Flopped: The singer and actress pulled up to Kendall Jenner’s bash as a “glam” version of Dipsy the green Teletubby. Fans found the mix of childhood nostalgia and nightclub partywear awkward and confusing.

GloRilla — Ciara (“Like You” Era)
- Why It Flopped: The “TGIF” rapper attempted to hit fans with 2000s R&B nostalgia alongside NBA star Brandon Ingram (as Bow Wow), but critics felt the execution lacked detail and looked like everyday streetwear.

Tinashe — Melatonin
- Why It Flopped: The “Nasty” singer went for an abstract pun costume by dressing up as the sleep-aid supplement “Melatonin”. The visual execution fell completely flat, leaving fans guessing until she explained it in her caption.
