The Biggest Beauty Blunders of All Time

partner

It's not easy being a celebrity. When we have a bad hair day (or bad hair year as I did in 1989), only our friends and family really see -- and mock -- it. But if you're Britney Spears and you do something like, oh, I don't know, shave your head, you better believe people are going to take notice.

Take notice we did, of her and lots of other celeb's big beauty blunders. Check them out below, suddenly 1989 doesn't look that bad …

Britney Spears
This famous head-shaving fiasco was not the right fix for a bad hair day or a good way to make headlines.











Julia Roberts
Note to Roberts: If you decide to take a break from shaving, wear long sleeves (especially on the red carpet!). She needs this shaving 101 story, stat!










Christina Aguilera
Aguilera couldn't decide between cornrows and a 'fro, so she went with both! This natural beauty should have lost the 'do and toned down that makeup.










Madonna
Madge went into surgery hoping to look younger, but this botched job made her look skeletal! She should have tried one of these stellar anti-aging serums instead.










Nicole Richie
Where to start? We can't believe this is the same girl that perfects the bohemian chic style today. A shorter, one-color cut is a much better look on Richie.










Check out six more big beauty blunders here!

Can't get enough of celebrities looking less than fab?

    Ahleah, I agree Brit was going through something that we shouldn't make fun of. But you go girl for shaving your head. I have thought about it sooo many times. But I don't know, my hair is short and wild and I get alot of compliments on it.But man I would just love that freedom of not having to worry about my stupid hair.Or shaving my damn armpits lol. Men have it so easy!

    Ok ladies let's settle down. There is a thing called being human. Britney did lose it legit. the rest, they remind us of how much they could be like you and I. Just this morning, I knew I was going to go sleeveless so I ran that razor over my pits just in case. It is funny though.

    Yeah, I'm with Joy and the others on this one: picking on Brit really isn't necessary here. She had her problems, and doesn't belong here on this list.
