What does a celebrity wear to do community service in Malawi? Certainly not what any of us would choose.

For example, if you're Madonna, you might wear a Chanel tracksuit, or perhaps some baggy crotch plaid pants, combat boots, and a fanny pack. The star sported that exact strange combination while helping some folks in a nearby village yesterday.

The outfit (minus the fanny pack, of course) looks like something Gwen Stefani would have wore in the '90s, paired with suspenders and a cut-off tank. It could almost be cool, but then there's the fact that Madonna is a mom. Wearing a fanny pack.

Take a closer look and let us know what you think:

During a trip to Malawi, where Madonna has adopted children from, the Material Girl wore baggy crotch plaid pants tucked into lace-up combat boots, as well as what appeared to be a fanny pack.

Mischa Barton seems to be pretty comfortable in her own skin, and we applaud that. We don't, however, applaud the actress' jeans. The notoriously unflattering high-waisted style may be great under tops, but on its own has the effect of magnifying the hip and thigh area. And the light yellow color only adds insult to injury.

For the French premiere of "The Bounty Hunter," Aniston picked a French designer -- Christian Lacroix. The star, who had been boring us in black a lot lately, wore a pink silk strapless gown from the designer's Spring/Summer 2009 Haute Couture collection.

Katy Perry hits the stage at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in a bright yellow dress adorned with blue flowers. Her matching wig came in handy when she get slimed just moments later.

Sure, Jennifer Garner is a busy mom with two kids, but she's still a gorgeous woman with a great body. We couldn't help but notice the outfit she wore to take her youngest daughter, Seraphina, out to play. The matronly skirt, shapeless turtleneck, and contrasting boots didn't work. At all.

Rihanna's been a favorite here at the StyleList Snap Judgment headquarters, but this outfit might just take the cake. The star hit the Echo Awards in a green, strong-shouldered, low-cut unitard with flowing, floor-length sleeves. That's certainly one way to get noticed!

Mariah Carey performed in Universal City last night wearing a pageant-like gold ruffled dress. While Carey loves to show her skin, which is smooth and "just like honey" after all these years, her curvy frame, on the other hand, might have been better suited in a different dress. Don't get us wrong, we think Carey is gorgeous -- she just might have benefited from a more mature look... and a bit more fabric!

Carrie Underwood took to the field to sing the national anthem at super bowl 2010. The star's all-white ensemble (complete with glitzy silver accents) seemed a little odd for the occasion. Did you love it or hate it?

We usually see rocker Pink riding her bike in sweats and high tops, looking decidedly tomboyish. So when she emerged from a lunch in this '50s housewife attire, we were shocked! What do you think of her floral and pink ensemble?

Actress Amanda Seyfried poses at the "Dear John" premiere in a very low-cut blue satin dress with a silver-trimmed bubble skirt. Was this look a mistake for the budding star?
