Summer is in full swing! And while there were fireworks in the skies, celebrity fashion has served up some explosive hits and flickering misses. Wonderwall.com is rounding them all up here, starting with this look… Gwyneth Paltrow's look at the A Dreamy Evening with Goopglow event in East Hampton City, New York, on July 18 was certainly something. The dress code was PJs, so it was no surprise that Gwyneth turned up in this bold yellow Olivia von Halle three-piece set. And though we loved the cheery shade of her jammies, things went south when she added tacky neon green slippers from the same brand.
Keep reading for a closer look, then see more of the best and worst dressed stars this month…

A strange Prada pick from Kathryn Newton. The star attended the Marvel Studios press line on day three of Comic-Con in San Diego on July 23 in this bizarre set of coordinates from the brand — a cropped long-sleeved blouse worn underneath what looked like a shimmery bralette in the same fabric as her pleated miniskirt. Sparkly silver platform sandals completed this puzzling look.

Next up? "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Lisa Rinna left the "Watch What Happens Live" studio in New York City on July 27 in this very bold jumpsuit — a rose-printed long-sleeved one-piece with a plunging neckline — and added simple black sandals for a look that truly stood out… we're just not sure it was in a good way.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw nailed it in this darling seafoam green Gucci midi-length frock complete with spaghetti straps and an all-over embroidered lace design at the "Today" show studios in New York City on July 25. Stepping things up a notch? The white accessories — square shades and embellished white sandals — which gave it a perfect summer vibe.
_
Joey King delivered a wild miss at the "Bullet Train" premiere in London on July 20. Her Marc Jacobs ensemble included a long-sleeved blue turtleneck paired with a bold checkered floor-length skirt. And just in case that wasn't weird enough, she topped things off with Paula Rowan leather opera gloves. Yikes!
_
Va-va-voom! Mindy Kaling channeled Old Hollywood glam for the premiere of pal B.J. Novak's film "Vengeance" in Los Angeles on July 25. From the plunging neckline to the side slit, this stunning Galvan London design was a standout. And when paired with strappy black sandals, a classic red lip and glamorous waves, it became an instant hit infused with timeless elegance.
_
It was head-to-toe Chloe on Katie Holmes in New York City on July 20. The star stepped out in this casually cool combo from the fashion house — a cashmere tank dress and poncho in a matching striped knit. Nama sneakers from the brand completed her chic set.
_
Brad Pitt served up a polarizing ensemble at the "Bullet Train" premiere in Berlin on July 19. The hunk turned up in a very unexpected piece of clothing — a skirt! The dark brown linen skirt by Haans Nicholas Mott was paired with a matching jacket and a wrinkled mauve linen top. Finishing off this very funky outfit? A pair of chunky combat boots. Let's take a closer look…
_
Brad Pitt's skirt and boots combo was certainly a unique choice. The selection even showed off his calf tattoos.
_
We've been loving Daisy Edgar-Jones's every fashion move lately, and her look at the "Where The Crawdads Sing" screening in London on July 18 was no different. The star wowed in this one-shouldered Alexander McQueen minidress — a black design with silver embroidery. When it came time to pick shoes, she kept it simple with some strappy black sandals.
_
Regé-Jean Page attended the premiere of Netflix's "The Gray Man" in Los Angeles on July 13 in this conflicting getup. It started out strong — a navy Armani linen suit — but lost us with the addition of a collarless shirt and gray Louboutin sneakers. Despite the laid-back red carpet, his accessories attempted to dress things back up…
_
Regé-Jean Page added a subtle diamond necklace from Brilliant Earth and one tiny earring by Cathy Waterman in an attempt to make this look premiere-worthy, but unfortunately, it was too little, too late.
_
We're used to seeing Emily Ratajkowski in slinky frocks and teeny bikinis, so this look she wore at the Balenciaga fashion show in Paris on July 6 was a surprise. The beauty arrived in an unfortunate all-black ensemble that included a strapless top and comically baggy trousers paired with equally severe pointy-toe shoes — a big miss!
_
School-girl chic! Ana de Armas rocked a head-to-toe Louis Vuitton look in London on July 19 that gave us serious "Gossip Girl" vibes. The preppy dress shirt and tie paired with a blazer complete with a Louis Vuitton patch all worn with pleated skirt scored at A+ on our report card.
_
Did Jenna Coleman check the weather? The beauty arrived at her "The Sandman" Comic-Con event in San Diego on July 23 in this all-leather getup — a Chloe Pre-Fall 2022 jacket and skirt combo paired with knee-high leather boots — that seemed like a bizarre choice for the middle of summer in Southern California.
_
A vision in red! Sofia Carson rocked a midi-length red frock with a tie detail at the neckline for a performance on "CBS This Morning" in New York City on July 25. Black platform heels completed the "Purple Hearts" star's chic look.
_
Pretty in pink! Zoey Deutch rocked a minidress by Valentino to the "Not Okay" Bustle Tastemaker Screening in Los Angeles on July 25. We loved the sequin embellishments and spaghetti straps and the choice to pair it with pale gold platform heels.
_
Alessandra Ambrosio continued the bright hue trend this summer with a cheery orange frock by Cult Gaia — which included a cutout at the waist, a maxi-length skirt and a halter-style detail. We adored the funky combo and the way she paired it with matching bright orange nail polish and simple tan sandals while out shopping in Los Angeles on July 27.
_
We love a dramatic slit, and Keke Palmer served one up at the "Nope" film premiere in Berlin on July 26. The star sported this strapless David Koma design with a sky-high slit featuring a shimmering border that added a little sparkle to perfectly complement her jazzy strappy sandals.
_
Hilary Duff excelled at off-duty laid-back California style while out and about in Los Angeles on July 23 in an Unfortunate Portrait tee, ripped jeans and Hermes sandals.
_
Lupita Nyong'o was a vision in a rainbow of color at Comic-Con in San Diego on July 23, selecting this Alfredo Martinez dress with pops of yellow, green, blue and magenta. The only thing we didn't love? It could have used a bright hue when it came to her shoe selection too, but the star instead opted for black Stuart Weitzman sandals.
_
Nothing against rainbows and butterflies, but we're not sure Whitney Cummings made the right choice with this colorful turtleneck she wore in New York City on July 26. She rocked the long-sleeved printed top tucked into high-waisted jeans then completed her outfit with pointy-toe flats for a fit that didn't look ideal for the July heat.
_
Gugu Mbatha-Raw wowed in this lime green Alexander McQueen gown at the "Surface" premiere in New York City on July 25. We loved the asymmetrical neckline, ruching and ruffle at the hip plus the ankle-length cut that showed off her Malone Souliers heels.
_
Katie Holmes has been killing it in casual Chloe looks all month long. She sported a summer white sweater from the fashion house paired with high-waisted straight-legged denim while out in New York City on July 20, completing the look with her trusty Chloe Nama sneakers.
_
More pantashoes! Kim Kardashian stepped out in a neon green variety paired with a camouflage-patterned shirt covered in dashes of the same standout shade while in Paris on July 5. Though we're not usually fans of this bizarre pants-shoes hybrid, we've got to say that they worked with this ensemble!
_
This might come as a shock, but Maggie Gyllenhaal's awful long-sleeved collared dress is Chanel. Yep, the star wore this matronly number — complete with pink buttons and bizarre floral-embellished pockets — to the label's show during Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris on July 5.
_
It's a rare month when Rita Ora lands on the best dressed list, but the dreamy Elie Saab gown the singer wore to the "Thor: Love and Thunder" premiere in London on July 5 truly wowed. The design, plucked straight from the runway, included stunning metallic embellishments, a thigh-high slit and a plunging neckline. The best part? That stunning collar that doubled as a necklace…
_
Rita Ora's Elie Saab gown included a collar with the same stunning embellishments as her gown — but it looked like a thick choker from afar. Despite the plethora of sparkles, she opted to add more shimmer with diamond drop earrings and a pretty diamond pendant necklace with a blue gemstone at the center.
_
Natalie Portman, is that you? The beauty shocked us with her strange fashion choice at the "Thor: Love and Thunder" premiere in London on July 5. She stepped onto the red carpet in this extreme Dior minidress — a strapless red design with a sweetheart neckline. The tiny frock was an odd choice for the star, but the accessory she chose to rock atop her head was ever stranger…
_
Natalie Portman topped her red Dior dress with this flower crown comprised of vibrant red blooms reminiscent of an early 2010s trend. The wild headpiece paired with an equally bold minidress made for a strange showing by the star known for her more subdued style over the years.
_
A Sienna Miller fashion moment is always welcome — especially at Wimbledon! The beauty turned up at the tennis championships in London on July 3 in this sweet off-the-shoulder Ralph Lauren Collection selection complete with delicate lace accents and styled it beautifully with a black belt and snakeskin sandals.
_
Brie Larson committed to the theme while on hand for the Marvel Avengers Campus opening ceremony at Disneyland Paris on July 9, selecting this Oscar de la Renta ensemble comprised of a golden sequined crop top covered in fringe, navy high-waisted wide-legged wool trousers and a superhero-ready cape embellished with metallic star details. Let's take a closer look…
_
A closer look at the Oscar de la Renta getup Brie Larson wore to the Disneyland Paris event on July 9 only made us love it more — from the perfectly matched pale gold shade to the fun fringe on the crop top to those bold stars on her Marvel-ready cape.
_
Serena Williams rocked this underwhelming Gucci mini to the "Thor: Love and Thunder" premiere in London on July 5. Though the frock was in a fabulous shade — we love that bubblegum pink! — the cut, sheer sleeves and ruffle embellishments didn't give us a couture vibe. Making matters worse? The addition of gold heels.
_
Daisy Edgar-Jones exemplified summer chic at one of the coolest events of the season — the Wimbledon tennis championships in London — on July 3. The actress wore this sleeveless Ralph Lauren dress in a crisp lemon yellow shade perfect for July and added simple off-white Anny Nord sandals for an effortless ensemble.
_
Yikes! Kourtney Kardashian's semi-goth fashion era continues to rage on, with the star stepping out in Malibu in this disastrous combo — a bomber jacket over a pink minidress bordered with black lace — a bizarre look for a hot summer day at the beach. Making matters worse? Those chunky shoes paired with short socks.
_
Anne Hathaway continued her revamped fabulous fashion tour at the Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2022/23 collection preview for Valentino in Rome on July 9. The Oscar winner rocked this sequined long-sleeved hot pink minidress complete with a high-neck and fitted waist with a pair of matching platform pumps and a tiny bag in the same bold shade.
_
Bright shades are for the boys too! Kevin Jonas stepped out in New York City on July 11 in this cheery getup — a tie-dye T-shirt in pink, purple, teal and yellow paired with neon blue trousers. The only thing wrong with this look? Those chunky white Dr. Martens.
_
Gemma Chan arrived at Wimbledon on July 6 in this tennis green Louis Vuitton design. The minidress featured the brand's classic checkerboard pattern in green and white with black and white trim at the neckline and along the sleeves. She accessorized with more Louis Vuitton in the form of a mini bag and white pointy-toe shoes.
_
Kristin Cavallari showed off an underrated color palette lately — neutrals! — when she stepped out in this asymmetrical camel-colored midi-length fitted frock in New York City on July 11. She finished things off with sandals in a darker shade of brown for a refreshing look amidst a sea of neons and bright shades this summer.
_
We can always count on Marion Cotillard to serve up a weird fashion look every month. On July 5, it was her ensemble at the Chanel show in Paris that left us puzzled: an embellished long-sleeved collared blouse with a pair of super-short black shorts to which she added tights and heels. We could hardly believe this was was a Chanel getup!
_
Zoey Deutch looked impossibly cool at the Giorgio Armani fashion show in Paris on July 5. The actress sported sleek black-and-white coordinates — a cropped bandeau and a high-waisted skirt with a white border — for a chic summer ensemble that she finished off with simple black sandals.
_
Duchess Kate was a vision in this cheery yellow Roksanda dress that she's rocked a time or two before. The royal sported the bright shade on day 13 of the Wimbledon tennis championships in London on July 9, pairing it with white pointy-toe pumps.
_
Lucy Boynton looked chic in white Chanel at the Wimbledon tennis championships in London on July 8. We adored her sweet sleeveless knee-length dress with scalloped edges and a black bow detail and how she paired it with strappy black Mary Janes and a little red bag.
_
Would you expect anything less from Christine Quinn? The "Selling Sunset" star stepped out during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week on July 4 in this wild look that included an Edda purple, green and black jacket — complete with fur, a bold print and a belt — over top a black Brielle Officielle outfit. She added Amina Muaddi heeled boots, a black Balenciaga purse, jewels by Anabela Chan and tiny Vehla Eyewear sunglasses to complete her funky ensemble.
_
Kate Beckinsale looked pretty in purple at the Elie Saab Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2022/2023 show in Paris on July 6. The star arrived in this standout mini — complete with bold ruffled details at the shoulders and down the short skirt — and kept things monochromatic with matching peep-toe heels and a clutch in the same shade.
_
Hot pink continues to pop up everywhere! Charles Melton embraced the highlighter shade at the Valentino Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2022/2023 fashion show in Rome on July 8 and combined it with the oversized trend, wearing a massive suit jacket and wide-legged trousers. He added matching pink sneakers and an unbuttoned dress shirt in the same hue to complete his very bold ensemble. Though we appreciated the dedication to the styles of the moment, this one fell flat for us.
_
An Olsen sighting is like Christmas for fashion lovers — and Mary-Kate Olsen's appearance at the Balenciaga show afterparty during Paris Fashion Week on July 6 was no different! The mogul stepped out in this all-black look comprised of a satin coat, baggy trousers and a black lace tank then finished it off with a pair of dirty white sneakers — a nice homage to her old boho-chic days.
_
We wanted to love the Giambattista Valli look that Eiza Gonzalez wore to the designer's Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris on July 4… and we did, from the waist down. We just couldn't get past the stark black bodice that contrasted with the pretty white floral-print skirt.
_
Keira Knightley was a vision in black lace at the Chanel fashion show in Paris on July 5. The star opted for a more classic look — this halter-style ankle-length dress — which included a sweet bow detail at the neckline and lace paneling along the bodice and at the waist. She completed her ensemble with a pair of rectangular shades and tan-and-black heels.
