Gwen Stefani has made a career out of looking hella good and making offbeat outfits work. Sadly, though, not even Gwen's charisma could save this striped suit disaster she wore to church on April 19, 2010. Take a look at the head-to-toe ensemble and see other stars' moments of fashion meltdown:

Fashionable or faux pas? Weigh in on Gwen Stefani and other celebs who pushed the envelope.

Los Angeles, April 19, 2010
Gwen Stefani brought her entire brood to church to attend a family christening. The one thing Gwen didn't bring was one of her usually chic outfits -- this striped ensemble (complete with white tights and strappy shoes) was a big mess. So don't try this one at home, kids -- if it's too bad to look good on Gwen, no one should be caught dead in it.

Las Vegas, Nevada, April 18, 2010
Nicole Kidman arrived at the 45th Annual Academy Of Country Music Awards in a 'feminine take on the tuxedo' dress by L'Wren Scott that she paired with witch-like lace-up booties. Her flat hair and bright red lips didn't make up for the unflattering award show ensemble.

Beverly Hills, Ca, April 15, 2010
Halle Berry stopped by a party in one very busy outfit. From her see-through paneled pants to her silk lurex Isabel Marant top to her Byson Gilet vest by AllSaints, Berry's outfit wasn't quite a home run.

New York, NY, April 15, 2010
Ivanka Trump provided her own bling for the American Museum of Natural History's 2010 Museum Dance. She wore diamond tassel earrings and a pave diamond link bracelet from her Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry Collection. But when it comes to her Donna Karan dress, we're not sure the effect was so sparkling. Why hide her lovely figure in such a big, billowy dress? And what's with the red shoes?

New York, NY, April 12, 2010
At Good Housekeeping's 125th anniversary celebration, Martha Stewart brought the glitz and glamour, courtesy of her pants. What do you think of her sequined wide-leg slacks?

Los Angeles, California, April 8, 2010
Demi Moore posed at the red carpet premiere of "The Joneses" in a magenta mini. When she turned around, Moore revealed the dress' open back and ruffled bottom, which we weren't expecting.

Mchinji, Malawi, April 5, 2010
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.

Los Angeles, California, April 4, 2010
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.

Paris, France, March 28, 2010
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.

I say the same. Church is not about what you are wearing on the outside, it's what you are wearing in your heart! I don't care what the woman wears, that's her choice. Personally, I can't bring myself to wear jeans to church, but that's my preference. People need to stop being so vicious and hateful!

I swear Jack Nicholson wore that coat in his role of "The Joker" in Batman.

Yes, Gwens outfit looks like one of those make-you-dizzy optical illusion pictures you see in one of the tabloids...but it isn't OMG awful on such a beautiful faced and figured woman like her.

I just hope she has a matching gangster hat to go with this ensemble.

As a dude, my 2 cents might seem a bit strange, but here goes. (The following will focus mostly on female wear, after going through all those people.) 1) Women (and men) wear much too much black (and occasionally gray) those days at formal events. Lighten up! 2) High collars are often ugly but can be tempered with nice hair, especially nice long hair. I think I prefer the V neck. 3) Capes look too science fictiony and are impractical, and backless dresses are just impractical. They might catch attention, but sometimes those and dresses that are small might be prone to wardrobe malfunctions. One should wear something comfortable - which is why I rated some items hot while others didn't. 4) I don't mind lace. It looks good, oftentimes. 5) Middle-aged and older women are probably better off covering up more, younger women are probably better off leaving stuff off, unless the weather is cool or cold, in which case wearing more would be a good idea outdoors. I am not sure what chubby women should do. My best guess is the muumuu, but if anyone has a better idea, tell it to the people. 6) Shoulder padding doesn't really work well. 7) The "hourglass look" is pretty cool, particularly with dresses. Ruffles and lace look good sometimes.

Here we go! I love it! There are millions of people these days who have turned their backs on God and the church. However, those same millions of people seem to want to be the "judges" of what people can wear to church. I think it is wonderful that a famous person like Stefani doesn't mind to be seen in church and I think it is hopeful to know that she did go! I wish more famous people would follow suit.

Gwen is always gorgeous. Her style stellar. But this is a miss. She looks like an unwanted boxed present that got dumped on a doorstep.
