15 Celebrity Spray Tan Mishaps That Can Top Selena Gomez
We're always glued to the tabloids when a bad spray tan hits the red carpet. Sadly, this year Selena Gomez took the hit when her Met Gala look was met with endless comments on her bad fake tan. While we adore Selena Gomez and respect her recent health struggles, we're still surprised with the shade she picked for iconic event.
The internet exploded when Selena Gomez's red carpet photos were released and her skin was covered in an off orange color. Many women have been through a bad spray and instead opt to hide away at home with endless showers instead of heading out as Selena did.
In order to take the heat off of Selena's patchy spray tan, we're collected the top 15 worst celebrity spray tans that are sure to beat out Selena's faux sun-kissed look.
The list includes some of the lamest spray tans that you have ever seen! While we totally understand the standards of perfection Hollywood is constantly under, these crazy tans just don't make sense in anyone's eyes.
From Miley Cyrus' tanning mistake and Donatella Versace's obsession with the color orange to Ryan Reynold's newbie mistakes; this list is sure to leave you endlessly cringing. Sit back, relax, and read through the list of sorry celebrity spray tan mishaps that top Selena Gomez's mistake.
15 We Wish This Photo Was Fake - Christina Aguilera
This spray tan has to be one of the worst ones we've ever seen. We wish this was a joke or photoshopped, however sadly it's not and was photographed at the Oscars.
The singer, dancer, and actress is sure to be known for dipping a little too much into the tacky orange spray tans. However, this spray tan disaster takes the cake of her worst one ever. While Christina attempted to create a classy look for the black tie event with a beautiful white pantsuit, her tan ruined her whole look.
Not only does it look like a bad trip to the tanning salon, the contrast onto the white pantsuit just causes her to look worse than ever.
While Christina looks happier than ever having the chance to chat with Steven Spielberg, we don't exactly think she grabbed any roles with her look.
Christina's fake tan is amplified even more so with Nicole Kidman sitting next to her. The future Burlesque star went more than 20 shades too dark with her tan, leaving her a spray tan gone totally wrong. However, we totally now know that she has learned from her mistakes and keeps to her natural skin tone lately. Thankfully, Christina can now focus on her latest record, rather than scrubbing away a bad tan.
14 We're Crying For You - Jessica Simpson
We are not exactly sure what went wrong for Jessica Simpson's spray tan, but it's sure to leave us cringing!
The popular singer, model, actress rose to fame in Hollywood as quickly as her record became a hit. While she made it in the music business, it was hard for her to stay relevant in the tabloids. That's why we're guessing Jessica got a little too carried away with her spray tan trying to stay trendy. Instead, she was left looking tacky and overly orange.
What's even worse than a spray tan leaving streaky spots or and uneven skin tone is an overall orange Cheetos mess, and Jessica nailed that look.
We understand the desire to have a sun-kissed tan all year round without having to run away down south every winter to do so. That's why it seems like fake tanner may be the Holy Grail that everyone's been looking for. However, Jessica Simpson sure made a mistake by going too overboard to get the sun-kissed look. Instead of looking like a glowing sun-kissed goddess, her skin perfectly blends into her hair as one. Thankfully, Jessica has overcome this tragic period of overdosing in faux tans and now goes a little more natural.
13 You're Not Fooling Anyone Sweetie - Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian used to have a breathtaking olive complexion that always left her glowing. Her skin tone pays tribute to her Armenian roots and leaves her looking better than ever! However, once she hit mega-fame Kim decided to trade her natural skin tone for endless fake tans and bronzer.
The photo shows Kim going full blown orange all around her body.
This spray tan is one of the worst ones and is sure not accentuating her features in any way.
Thankfully, today Kim is usually seen rocking a light tan that leaves her looking sun-kissed and glowing. It's neither overdone nor has an orange undertone as her past fake tan mistakes showcase. The rest of the Kardashian and Jenner sisters follow in this footstep by not looking too overly tan with a more natural color.
While they are still one of the most tanned families in Hollywood, their skin colored is similar to their Middle Eastern roots making it more appropriate. Yet, through scenes in Keeping Up With The Kardashians, fans are able to see that Kim still continues to spray tan but uses a natural color. We adore Kim's newfound tan as it makes her look even better than ever.
12 Mother Monster Is Literally A Bronzed Mess - Lady Gaga
Pop Queen Lady Gaga definitely did some crazy spray tans at the beginning of her career as she was just entering fame. The Just Dance era totally left her pulling off some crazy bronzed looks that don't look good on anyone. Even worse? Her platinum blonde hair creates a harsh contrast, making the spray tan seem even darker.
While we're not sure if Gaga went through a terrible spray tan or fell asleep in a tanning booth, we're surprised her skin was able to recover. Maybe Gaga opted for a crazy amount of bronzer in order to create the sun-kissed look.
The New Yorker totally isn't scared to let loose and have a good time, so we're guessing that's why she didn't really care for her bizarre color. According to the Daily Mail, the photo was taken from an interview where Gaga was promoting her latest single Poker Face. While we're not able to see the interviewer, we're positive they're wondering how Gaga's press team let her get away with the weird shade of orange.
Yet, to be fair, terrible spray tans were all the rage a decade ago, as Hollywood wanted to be as bronze as they could be. Mother Monster totally followed in the footsteps and went way overboard with the self-tanner.
11 The $35 Tan - Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton is totally known as the ultimate princess of the early 2000's. A ton of girls followed in the celebrity's footsteps of juicy couture jumpsuits, bedazzled wardrobes, fluffy heels, barbie-esque physic, and most importantly a ton of bronzer.
At the time Paris Hilton advertised a ton of tanning products making them sell out successes. Yet, according to Daily Mail, Paris Hilton had a $35 spray tan in the photo featured above.
While we love the affordability, we're worried the good deal is the reason she looks more orange than sun-kissed.
The celebrity totally had a bad experience getting her spray tan, as her deep orange color is not a look. While the tan is even and not blotchy, it's still a cardinal sin that no one should show off.
Paris Hilton is noted to now have a tanning booth in her home making the process much easier for her. We're glad that she spent the extra dollars and bought a professional tanning booth instead of getting these $35 tans. We can all totally agree that the splurge is worth it and that Paris looks better than ever now a day.
It seems as if the celebrity learned from her mistakes and now makes sure to always stay sun-kissed and glowing!
10 Sun Kissed? More Like Sun Burnt - Ariana Grande
As her music is topping the Billboard charts all the time, Ariana Grande is killing it in the music business. The actress turned singer's career has taken off tremendously making her one of the top paid people in Hollywood. Yet, while her career is excelling exponentially, her past is still all over the Internet.
One of Ariana's worst fails is her orange spray tan as she hit the red carpet. At the time Ariana was an actress and attended the Kid's Choice Awards in a short nude strapless dress. While Ariana looked stunning in her dress, her fake tan threw her whole look way off. Her bright red hair did not help to cover up the tacky tan and instead made her stick out like a sore thumb.
With her southern Italian roots, it's pretty normal that Ariana commonly holds a beautiful tan. However, this orange fake tan does not compliment her in away way what so ever. We wish Ariana would have kept her natural skin color as we know that would compliment her the best.
We all know how easy it is to get carried away with bronzer, and we can totally see that's what happened to Ariana on the red carpet.
9 Caught White Handed - Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus got her ticket to fame when she landed the role of Miley Stuart on the hit Disney show Hannah Montana. She became the ultimate teen queen and Hollywood adored her. With this new fame, came endless work and having to keep up with your appearance. Leading Miley to the tough world of fake tanning that comes with the possibility of ending up looking like a Cheetos chip.
Miley experienced some spray tan issues as she tanned her whole body, but left out her hands.
The paparazzi got this embarrassing shot of Miley wondering through the streets with her pale un-tanned hands.
Based on the photo, it even seems as if Miley is showing off her spray tan mischief. We agree that it's better to make fun of ourselves before someone else does. Miley made the situation into a funny experience by confidently showcasing her mistake instead of hiding it! Who knows, maybe she's showing off that silver diamond on her ring finger instead? But, we're guessing she's alluding to her bad spray tan.
This is one of the first spray tan mistakes that Miley did in her early career as she usually opted for a bronzed look. We're glad that Miley now goes for a more natural look in her hippie style!
8 Way Too Orange - Donatella Versace
Donatella Versace is one of the most iconic fashion designers of the past century with her gold gowns and Medusa logo. We all wish we could befriend Donatella and land a beautiful pair of Italian heels or a sundress, but sadly we can only dream.
Donatella has totally mingled with celebrities recently gazing the red carpet instead of staying backstage. She shows off the latest Versace runway looks because whom better than the designer herself. Even though we adore Donatella's beautiful clothing line, her tanning ideology isn't exactly our favorite.
The designer has been known to go way over the top with beauty procedures and fake tan to get her desired look. We can totally agree that she often goes overboard with the fake tanner. Donatella enjoys mixing spray tanning, natural tanning, and bronzing creams all together to create her darkened skin color.
We wish that Donatella could just see how tacky the orange spray tan really is. Either way, we salute the creative pursuits that have led her to create the iconic Versace brand that many adore. We totally get her desire to keep up with the ever-changing Hollywood landscape, yet would recommend toning it down on the fake tanning.
7 The Whole Cast Of 'Jersey Shore' - Snooki & JWoww
When you think of a spray tan gone wrong, you're sure to think of the insane cast of Jersey Shore. This group totally knows how to go overboard on the bronzer to create a dark glow. Two of the most popular celebrities of the hit TV show that are always over tanned are Snooki and JWoww!
These two BFF have totally paid tribute to the Jersey Shore aesthetic by constantly staying bronzed. JWoww is naturally half Irish and Spanish so you would assume that she is naturally quite tan. However, JWoww actually rocks a paler complexion than what most people are used to seeing. Instead, the celebrity opts for a ton of self-tanner and bronzer to create the sun-kissed look.
Snooki, on the other hand, has total Latina roots creating a darker complexion. Snooki then amps up her tan tremendously by applying even more fake spray tans and bronzer to create a darker glow!
These two have literally branded Jersey Shore as incredibly spray tanned and over bronzed.
While we adore their free spirit attitude obsessed with partying and having a good time, we would recommend lowering it down on the bronzer.
Luckily, today we're able to see Snooki and JWoww as young moms going for a more natural skin color far from their hectic Jersey Shore days.
6 A Couple Shades Off - Gigi Hadid
While we can all agree that Gigi Hadid looked absolutely beautiful at the MTV Music Awards, we can also agree that her tan was a little too sun-kissed. Gigi and her sister Bella Hadid have lately been making news becoming the top supermodels of their generation. Everyone is obsessed with this iconic sister duo as they're always making waves and showing off killer looks.
It's pretty obvious that Gigi was attempting to create an iconic look with this outfit, however, it did not exactly work out. According to an article from the Daily Mail, Gigi explained the inspiration behind the look based on a beachy sun-kissed glowing bronzed look. Her hair is slicked back as she's wearing a bright yellow dress hugging her body perfectly. The issue is her make up artist decided to add a ton of bronzer to her look, overpowering her natural features and creating a poor orange look.
Gigi's skin blends perfectly into her hair as she literally becomes one shade of orange/yellow. We adore her glowing skin and strong brow; however, think she over bronzed her look. Thankfully, this was a one-time mistake that has not seemed to repeat itself on the red carpet anymore!
5 Truly Unforgettable - Katie Price
Katie Price is one of the top television personalities that totally know how to make any scandal into worthwhile attention.
The reality TV star got on twitter and posted the embarrassing photo above mocking her spray tan. While she's one of the first celebrities to post her own embarrassing photos to joke about, the Internet came laughing.
She captioned the photo “Whooooooops, my fake tan is sure working”. Her satire comment was hilarious and left many laughing out loud.
Even though she took charge of her bad spray tan, some people on the internet made fun of her mistake. We love how she came clean about the issue and made a joke about it. We can all remember a time we messed up when trying to look like a superstar. Whether we've overplucked our eyebrows, got streaky highlights, a terrible sunburn, or the wrong shade of foundation, we've all been there.
Next time you find yourself making a total mistake, remember to laugh about it! It's most likely not a big deal and will go over sooner than you'll notice. We all make mistakes, and the worst ones are the ones that we endlessly stress over and make a big deal.
4 A Royal Mess - Jeniffer Lawrence
Jlaw totally looks incredible at the Christian Dior fashion show held in Paris on Fashion Week in 2014. The talented Hunger Games actress showed up in a stunning Dior dress, and sadly an orange spray tan.
We get it; keeping up in Hollywood is hard. You have to constantly look your best by getting your nails done, staying fit, doing weird juice cleanses, dying your hair, and getting spray tans. The sun-kissed bronze glow is many women's dream, making it understandable that Jennifer would aim for it too.
Sadly, her spray tan seemed to sidetrack quite a bit as she looked over bronzed and more so like a mess than an angel. Jennifer's spray tan seems to be a couple shades too dark, making her skin turn an orange burnt color. Most shocking is it seems as if the pigment really piled up on the actress's face as it's much darker than the rest of her body.
It seems as if Jlaw ran into some trouble in the spray tan department and overdid the bronzer. We could maybe let her get away with the orange look if it wasn't for her face looking much darker than the rest of her body.
Even though Jennifer Lawrence looks a little too bronzed on the white carpet, we totally can tell that her features are even more beautiful than ever as her skin got an airbrushed texture to it thanks to the tan.
3 Better Luck Next Time - Natalie Portman
While we adore her in the movies, we don't exactly adore this spray tan fail.
Natalie attended the JTN Vision Awards in Beverly Hills back in 2007 and totally messed up her killer outfit with a poor tan. While the actress is incredibly iconic in all of her movies, we can agree this premiere wasn't her best look.
The actress decided to head out in a black dress to the premiere that perfectly suited her. We love her little black dress and adorable strappy heels, however, would recommend laying off the bronzer. Such a simple dress would have been perfect with her paler complexion. Instead, it seems as if the actress preferred to get a spray tan for the premiere to compliment her body.
We don't exactly agree that the darkened skin color accentuated her outfit. Instead, she looked tacky as the orange hues lit up her skin.
We're glad that the actress kept her makeup and hairstyle incredibly simple as it would have just looked too much with the orange skin tone. Thankfully the actress has ditched the spray tan and now only uses bronzer to get a beautiful sun-kissed glow!
2 BBQ Deadpool - Ryan Reynolds
While most of the celebrities on our list are women who have over spray-tanned themselves, we've decided to include Ryan Reynolds to our list to show that even men can make a wrong move in Hollywood.
The Deadpool superstar had decided to get a spray tan for the 2017 Golden Globes. While we adore his acting and his adorable personality, we don't exactly love his fake tan. We can understand his desire to look a little tanned as it usually makes everyone look better. Yet, his spray tan is totally too dark making him look like a mess. His natural skin color is perfect and we're bummed out that he took such dramatic measures to look charming.
What makes the matter even worse is Ryan standing right next to Emma Stone who usually rocks a lighter complexion. The contrast between the two of them makes Ryan look much more bronzed than absolutely necessary. Hopefully Blake Lively can do a better job next time by keeping track of her husband's spray tan sessions, in order to not let him look overly orange as he does in the photo above.
Ryan proves that not only do women in Hollywood make terrible tanning mistakes, but even Superhero's do too!
1 The Sad Spray Tan At The Met Gala - Selena Gomez
We have come to our favorite disastrous spray tan of them all, Selena Gomez. The Disney superstar turned famous singer has showcased some awesome fashion looks lately. She's totally a style icon and is one of Hollywood's most favorite it girls!
Sadly, Selena went a little over the top at the 2018 Met Gala with a white fluffy dress, glitter eyeshadow, and a bad spray tan.
The singer went with the heavenly bodies theme, however, didn't exactly pull off her look. Her fashion team decided that she needed a bronze glow to truly accentuate the dress on the red carpet. However, sadly the spray tan looked a little too orange and patchy rather than glowing.
The lighting on the red carpet made the matter even worse by brightening her fake tan and bronzed cheeks. The photo above totally showcases what a mess her fake tan looks like. Yet, we can see her skin is truly glowing in sparkles as she highlighted every part of her body. Most of all, we adore her confidence in the matter not caring about all of the negative attention she received. At a recent Puma launch event, Selena was asked why her skin looked much lighter and she answered: “I fixed it from the Met Gala”. Selena is now back to her natural glowing complexion and we couldn't be happier for her!
