When it comes to red carpet coverage, we have you covered. From the Academy Awards and the Cannes Film Festival to the Grammys and the Billboard Music Awards, you can rest assured that we report on all of Hollywood's biggest events in order to tell you, our readers, what each and every stylish celeb is wearing. It pretty much goes without saying that we analyze a lot of red carpet looks. Now, whether you love them or hate them, you can't deny that the most controversial outfits are the most fun to talk about.

Without further ado, allow us to present 20 of the most controversial red carpet outfits of 2019 (so far). We'll leave you to discuss.
