Lately, I've been laying off the disastrous dresses certain actresses choose for their red carpet photo opps, mostly because there are JUST SO MANY OF THEM.

But this one?

This one takes the cake.

I present to you Shy'm, a French chanteuse who turned heads on the red carpet last night at a music awards ceremony in Cannes.

I've never heard of Shy'm, but I do know one thing about her.

She's certainly not SHY.

'm?

I also can say that this "dress" is, without a doubt, the worst red carpet disaster I think I've ever seen.

It's so bizarre, I don't really even know quite what to make of it.

What about you?

Let's start with that plastic corset.

It is, quite simply, COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS. I suspect it might even be a spray-on top. Shy'm seriously might as well be naked.

I suppose, though, that if it topped a beautiful skirt, it might not be quite so bad.

But um, Shy'm? Wrapping a sheet around your waist does not a fancy gown make.

Seriously. Who is responsible for this? They deserve a night or twenty in fashion jail!

I guess it worked for Shy'm, though. She ended the evening with the NRJ Female Artist of the Year award. And the award comes on the heels of her recent win on the French version of Dancing with the Stars.

If her latest successes are any indication, we may very well be seeing more of the scantily-clad Shy'm here in the states.

Let's just hope she leaves this "dress" behind.

What do you think of Shy'm's red carpet disaster?
