Wonderwall.com is rounding up the best and worst fashion from our favorite celebrities who were born in July, starting with this British actress. Kate Beckinsale, who celebrates her birthday on July 26, wore this peculiar frock to the GQ Men of the Year Awards in 2018. The "Underworld" actress's Julien Macdonald Spring 2018 swimsuit handkerchief dress unfortunately missed the mark. The barely-there dress, with its bright red print, was neither the most flattering nor fashionable. Thankfully, the star has seen better days…

Margot Robbie, who celebrates her birthday on July 2 every year, wore this dramatic black gown by Dries Van Noten to the "Birds of Prey" London premiere in 2020. While the elements on their own may work, together, the gown looks peculiar. From the asymmetrical feathery sash and exposed bra to the structured skirt and fuchsia opera gloves, the whole look — while ambitious — was too busy. Next, let's take a look at one of Margot's best looks…

Margot Robbie stunned at the "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" premiere in London in 2019. The star, who played late actress Sharon Tate in the film, was a vision in a burnt orange gown by Oscar De La Renta. While the color alone was absolutely breathtaking, the plunging neckline, scarf detail and delicately pleated chiffon fabric elevated the already ethereal look!
While Jennifer Lopez, who celebrates her birthday on July 26, has been known to wear plenty of show-stopping looks, this particular dress was a major miss. At the 2020 Golden Globe Awards, the "Hustlers" star wore a custom Valentino gown embellished with a huge green-and-gold statement bow. Some fans on Twitter compared J.Lo to a boldly wrapped Christmas present. Thankfully, she stepped up her sartorial game a few days later…
It's hard to believe both of these J.Lo looks are from the same awards season! Just two weeks after the 2020 Golden Globes, Jennifer Lopez arrived at the 2020 Screen Actors Guild Awards in a sleek, off-the-shoulder black gown by Georges Hobeika — a major improvement! The sultry silhouette was incredibly flattering on the stylish star, who completed her Old Hollywood glam look with $9 million in Harry Winston jewels including a 73.55-carat diamond necklace. This look, while simple, exuded elegance.
Selena Gomez, who blows out candles on her birthday cake every July 22, has evolved into a style star over the last few years. At the 2015 InStyle Awards, however, the "Rare" singer sported head-to-toe Louis Vuitton and looked lackluster at best. Her black mesh top with an exposed bra underneath, coupled with a puffy white miniskirt, made for a forgettable ensemble. Luckily, the talented actress-singer made up for this fashion mishap…
Selena Gomez hit the red carpet at the 2019 American Music Awards in this gorgeous acid green Versace minidress complete with gold hardware and a flattering ruffle detail along the side. The "Lose You to Love Me" singer completed the statement look with layered diamond choker necklaces and matching pumps.
Celebs can't always get it right. "The Handmaid's Tale" star Elisabeth Moss attended the 2019 MTV VMAs in this velvet minidress by Balmain. With its huge metallic dragon and fishnet arm sleeve, the frock felt like an odd choice for the actress. Elisabeth, who blows out candles on her birthday cake every July 24, made up for this fashion mishap in 2020…
There's something about this frock we can't help but adore! Elisabeth Moss hit the red carpet at the 2020 SAG Awards in this eye-catching coral gown by Monique Lhuillier. What did we love most about the brightly colored frock? Its movement! The billowing skirt and delicately draped sleeves felt like fun, whimsical features on the smocked dress. She completed the look with a red clutch and matching red lip. That evening, Elisabeth was nominated for outstanding performance by a female actor in a drama series for her work on "The Handmaid's Tale."
While Sandra Bullock is usually among Hollywood's best dressed celebrities, she's had a few fashion misses in her day — like this look. At the 2015 Crystal + Lucy Awards, the Oscar winner wore a disappointing dark-hued number by Monique Lhuillier that featured a one-shoulder detail with a sparkly midnight blue bodice and dark purple patterned skirt. Even with those great black gladiator heels, this one was a miss for us. Thankfully, Sandra — who celebrates her birthday on July 26 — made some modifications to her style…
Glitz and glam! At the "Ocean's 8" premiere in London in 2018, Sandra Bullock hit the red carpet in a winning look — a long-sleeved jumpsuit by Zuhair Murad featuring culottes. From the multicolored stripes and sequins to the plunging neckline, Sandra looked like a disco darling! Combined with her effortless, tousled locks and a simple pair of ankle-strap stilettos, she was the epitome of classy but cool.
Before we praise Priyanka Chopra for her most breathtaking number, we need to talk about this ill-fitting ensemble she sported at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. While we're all for a good oversized sweater, this one was disastrous. The random patches of red and yellow fringe coupled with the loose strings hanging from the sleeves made for a really messy look. She paired the sweater with a peculiar knee-length skirt and black heeled booties. Luckily, the A-lister — who celebrates her birthday on July 18 — has definitely made up for this fashion miss…
Priyanka Chopra stunned in this pink gown by Cristina Ottaviano at the 2020 Golden Globe Awards. The flattering garment featured ruched detailing and an off-the-shoulder neckline. The "Isn't It Romantic" star finished her red carpet look with glitzy Bulgari jewels, including a necklace crafted from more than 56 carats of diamonds.
Khloe Kardashian's fashion hits and misses have long been chronicled. One big miss? This getup she wore to the NBCUniversal Upfronts in 2016. While we give her points for coordination, the suede lace-up minidress by Balmain and matching lace-up sandals by Christian Louboutin made for a lackluster ensemble. We think the reality star, who celebrates her birthday on July 22, played it too safe with this one. Next up? One of Koko's best looks…
So chic! Khloe Kardashian stunned at the Abyss by Abby launch party in 2020 in this fitted metallic gown by the aforementioned designer! The single shoulder, the sultry cut-out, the dramatic side slit… this gown was both sleek and sophisticated. Khloe completed the look with a cash clutch by Judith Leiber and strappy chrome stilettos.
Sandra Oh — who celebrates her birthday on July 20 every year — attended the BAFTA Los Angeles and BBC America TV Tea Party in 2018 in this patchwork-inspired dress by Duro Olowu. While the eclectic midi-length dress is gorgeously crafted, the stiff skirt made it look more boxy than flattering. The "Killing Eve" star is known for her show-stopping red carpet numbers, and while this one might have worked in theory, it wasn't our favorite. Next, let's see one of the Canadian star's most stunning looks…
At the BAFTA Los Angeles and BBC America TV Tea Party in 2019, Sandra Oh stunned in a different look by Duro Olowu, the same designer she wore at the previous year's event. And this time, it was an undebatable hit. From the metallic print to the perfect fit, the frock flattered the former "Grey's Anatomy" star in every way. Keeping her accessories simple, Sandra finished the evening look with peep-toe heels by Pierre Hardy and earrings by Nina Runsdorf.
Listen, we're all for a daring look, but this one was a letdown. Kristen Bell attended the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards in knitted black dress by Julien Macdonald. The ring detailing down the bodice added a futuristic-looking touch, but the mixed materials dress was too busy for our liking. Luckily, the "Good Place" star — who celebrates her birthday on July 18 — delivered one of her most stunning red carpet looks to date that same year…
Elsa Pataky, who celebrates her birthday every July 18, hit the red carpet at the U.K. premiere of "Guardians of the Galaxy" in 2014 in this dress by Dolce & Gabbana. Unfortunately, the combination of white lace and a below-the-knee length seemed more matronly than fashion forward. Another miss for us? That leopard crossbody purse. Now let's see one of Elsa's most breathtaking red carpet looks…
She was there to support superhero hubbie Chris Hemsworth at the Los Angeles premiere of "Thor: Ragnarok" in 2017, but Elsa Pataky stole the show in this gorgeous gown. The Spanish actress-model looked like a classic beauty in the strapless, figure-flattering dress by Victoria Beckham. Complete with simple jewels, Elsa proved that sometimes less really is more!
Sophia Bush, who celebrates her birthday on July 8, attended Entertainment Weekly's SAG Awards Nominees Celebration in 2018 in this bright yellow midi-length dress by Diane Von Furstenberg. While there are elements of this garment that work well on their own — the standout color, the statement belt cinched at the waist, the sultry lace fabric, the figure-hugging black slip — altogether, it looks rather odd. Next up? One of Sophia's most elegant looks…
Could she look more angelic? At the 2019 Screen Actors Guild Awards, Sophia Bush was a sartorial princess in this ethereal gown by Monique Lhuillier. The subtle polka-dot pattern, the layers of tulle, the cape overlay… it's hard to pinpoint our favorite detail of this stunning garment! The "One Tree Hill" star completed the dreamy look with simple jewelry by Jacob & Co. and an updo with a complementary black headband.
Sometimes less really is more! Kristen Bell hit the 2018 Emmy Awards red carpet in this breathtaking gown by Solace London. The floor-length dress, which featured a rectangular neckline, was minimalism at its absolute finest.
Even the most sartorially inclined stars make mistakes. In 2016, Olivia Munn, who blows out candles on her birthday cake every July 3, wore this unconventional gown by J. Mendel to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. The dramatic slit and cut-outs around the bodice were details that amped up the sultriness of an otherwise unexciting garment. But this piece, while experimental, was a letdown compared to the Stella McCartney gown she wore to the Oscars ceremony hours earlier. Now, let's take a look at one of Olivia's better looks…
At the Los Angeles premiere of Starz's "The Rook" in 2019, "Love Wedding Repeat" star Olivia Munn wore this stunning gown by Galvan Phoebe. The champagne-hued dress, which was embellished with sequins and featured a bustier bodice, was the perfect balance of simple and sultry.
In 2019, Sofia Vergara, who celebrates her birthday on July 10 every year, attended the Los Angeles premiere of "Once Upon A Time in Hollywood" in this number by Dolce & Gabbana. While the shin-length dress featuring eyelet detailing hugged every curve, it still didn't seem to fit quite right. Unfortunately, this one was a fashion miss for us. Next up? One of Sofia's best red carpet moments…
Former "Modern Family" star Sofia Vergara turned heads at the 2015 SAG Awards in this one-shouldered, figure-hugging gown by Donna Karan Atelier. The fiery red hue, floor-length silk and fine corset boning were elements of the garment we absolutely adored!
