We rate the best and worst from a scale of “your mother’s burst into tears and is Googling ‘tattoo removal'” to “your mother’s disowned you and doesn’t ever want to speak to you again how could you DO this to yourself”.

Moss has dabbled with tattoos: she’s got anchor on her wrist, a sun and moon on opposite sides of her foot. But her real crowning glory is the design of two tiny swallows on her lower back – tattooed by Lucian Freud, who learnt the trade while he was in the Navy. Given that his highest valued painting was sold for £17.2 million, that must make Kate’s tattoo worth a few mil – at least.

Distraught mother rating: “You let some 88-year-old man tattoo you? Get me a paper bag… Wait, how many million are we talking about?”

Noted Cara Delevingne cooking buddy has the phrase “you owe it to yourself, set the world on fire” on the inside of her right arm as well as a design of the Egyptian goddess Isis on her upper back. The latter actually bears a close resemblance to a similar tattoo on Rihanna (although Riri’s got it under her boobs – obviously) – so maybe that’s one of the reasons Dunn was picked to front Rihanna’s River Island collab.

Distraught mother rating: “Oh, so your friend Ribena’s got one? NO DON’T CORRECT ME, I KNOW HER NAME. So if she jumps off a bridge are you gonna jump off one too?!”

Surely the most be-tatted of them all. The Danish model has “serendipity is life” on the back of her upper right arm, “this too shall pass” on the inside of the same arm, “float” on the side of her neck, a lightning bolt and a star on her ribcage… She started at sixteen and now she’s up to 16 and counting. In an interview with Style.com, she said, “I’ve never had any issues with it, I think by now it’s become part of my style. If you’re a brand new model, [having lots of tattoos] might be a bit difficult for you to get signed.”

Distraught mother rating: “You did it when you were 16? How long have you been hiding this from me and Dad? I’m dying here. DYING.”

The party-hardy model and sometime Alexander Wang muse has always had tatts on her upper arm, but showed off a beefed-up version of them for her Zadig and Voltaire campaign. There’s no grand design behind her tattoos, either. As she told Into The Gloss: “I’m the girl who just thinks up something as I’m walk into a tattoo parlor and I’m getting it an hour later. I believe in ornamentation of the body… I believe if you feel it, you should just do it.”

Distraught mother rating: “What do you mean, no idea? Are you gonna walk into some shop on the street and tattoo a tiger on your face next? You’re grounded, lady.”

Unlike many on our list, the 22-year-old from Atlanta, Georgia has only got one tattoo. But it’s worth pointing it, given that some have called it “the worst tattoo ever“. We wouldn’t go so far as that, but it’s a pretty… er, literal representation of being a model. It’s just that tattooing your own name on yourself that seems a bit, well, weird.

Distraught mother rating: “Honey, I love you, but why tattoo your own name on yourself? You gonna forget it or something?”

Next to Freja and Erin, Abbey’s probably got the most tattoos out of any on the list. She’s got an owl on her middle finger, a peace sign in her palm, stars behind her ears and the word “index” on her, er, index finger. She’s also got “truth” tattooed on the inside of her bottom lip, which apparently looks more painful than it actually is. Not to forget she’s also big fan of temporary branding, too, what with her writing “GUN CONTROL” on her belly for the Met Gala.

Distraught mother rating: “I’m never going to be able show my face at bridge club again. You get invited to a party and you make a political statement about America? Honey, you’re Australian.”

BEST

1. CARA DELEVINGNE

It’s a nice Burberry dress, but you know what’s truly qualifies as punk in this media-obsessed age? Turning up and facing the paparazzi despite having been photographed a few days earlier with a baggie of “mysterious white powder” falling out of your bag. Anyone else would have issued an apology and spinelessly locked themselves in rehab to wait out the media storm. Cara Delevingne, we salute you.

Punk as fuck rating: More punk than Nancy Spungen throwing a chair out of a window at the Chelsea Hotel

2. KIM KARDASHIAN

Let’s say you’re Kim K, pregnant with your first child. For the past few months, people have been ripping it out of you for being too fat – even accusing you of gaining weight to land a diet endorsement deal. What do you do? Hide in Kanye’s mansion and cry into a tub of Ben & Jerry’s? Nope. You wear a bizarre gloved dress from Givenchy to one of the most high-profile social events of the year and you hold your head high. Punk has always been about ignoring the haters, so in this sense, Kim has truly succeeded. (Still not a fan of those gloves, though.)

Punk as fuck rating: More punk than the Sex Pistols squaring up to a disgusted Bill Grundy during a TV interview (and winning)

3. DONATELLA VERSACE

How could we forget Donatella? After all, this is the designer who admitted “my face is not like this naturally“; the businesswoman who was addicted to coke while running the Versace empire; the icon who inspired her own Saturday Night Live impression. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone who defied the naysayers like Donatella did – and all the while looking like the bestest, most gloriously tacky Miami Vice version of a fashion designer ever. Looking ridic while being slyly successful – it’s the punk way.

Punk as fuck rating: More punk than Debbie Harry bleaching her hair in a sink at CBGB’s

4. MILEY CYRUS

Miley: navigating the awkward post-Disney stage of her career by not giving a fuck what anyone thinks. Also one of the best outfits of the night purely because she actually has punk hair, as opposed to that weird sidebraid that people like Miranda Kerr used to give the impression of a shaved head. Come on ladies, show some commitment.

Punk as fuck rating: More punk than early NOFX, pre-Reading Festival headliner days

WORST

1. BEYONCE

Don’t get us wrong, we love Beyoncé. Beyoncé can look fierce. She can look glam. But bless her, Beyonce couldn’t be less punk than if she’d turned up in an H&M kaftan singing an acapella version of Cater 2 U. She’s worn shellac nails that are probably harder than she is. Also, why has every American somehow interpreted red carpet gloves as being ‘punk’?

Punk as fuck rating: About as punk as your little sister’s Black Flag t-shirt from Urban Outfitters

2. MADONNA

There’s paying a sly, subtle homage to a costume theme, and then there’s Madonna.

Punk as fuck rating: About as punk as the matinee performance of Green Day’s stage musical

3. ROONEY MARA

We adore the Givenchy dress, but we always feel as if Rooney Mara has been beamed in from an alternate dimension where Gattaca really happened and all the men only wear Dior Homme AW13. You get the feeling that if a single hair on her head was moved, she’d probably stab someone with a zipper.

Punk as fuck rating: About as punk as Nancy Regan in a Laura Ashley cardigan trying to ban Prince

4. NICOLE RITCHIE

A special Fraggle Rock interpretation of The Snow Queen.

Punk as fuck rating: About as punk as a lounge cover of Guns of Brixton

BEST

1. Lady Gaga ft Beyonce – Telephone

Gaga has a bit of a talent for spotting potential collab opportunities, and this one is a no-brainer. Both artists might be from two completely different ends of the music spectrum, but somehow the queen of pop and the queen of RnB find a Jeff Koons-esque, bubblegum-bright middle ground that displayed both their strengths and gained Beyonce some Gaga followers (and vice versa).

2. Connor Maynard ft Ne-Yo – Turn Around

Hitmaker Ne-Yo seems to have a knack for always guaranteeing a spot in the number one slot, but this bewildering collaboration initially left people uncertain – but in our opinion, it’s one of the best UK summer songs (well, as summer-y as Britain gets).

3. Katy Perry ft Kanye West – ET

It’s almost unfathomable to imagine what kind of melody results from Katy Perry and Kanye West sitting in a studio together. But by tying the alien idea into a far-out E.T. concept, something pretty out of this space happens.

WORST

1. Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj – Beauty And A Beat

Your initial reaction: “Why is this happening? Why is this HAPPENING?” And sure enough, after listening to the song you discover it’s perfectly fine with only Justin Bieber on the track – but then it’s promptly ruined by a sub-Daft Punk breakdown, their random pointless grinding at 3:26 and Nicki’s pink meringue outfit.

2. The Jonas Brothers ft Common – Don’t Charge Me For The Crime

This is one of those songs that nobody knows about, because its existence doesn’t make sense – the song isn’t bad, but it’s not good, and it’s just plain odd. Common rapping about the death of the American dream, combined with the Jonas Brothers’ doing their best Mick Jagger impressions: just incredibly awkward.

3. David Bowie & Mick Jagger – Dancing In The Street

Dancing On The Street is one of those unforgettable music videos that people either loved, or shunned as soon as they saw it – even Family Guy poked fun of it for being the most unnecessary collaborations in music history. It’s a funny video nonetheless and the song is dreadfully catchy, but I’m sure we could all do without. Cheers, Mick and David.

The post BEST & WORST: Unexpected musical collaborations appeared first on Wonderland.

THE BEST:

(1) Angelina Jolie

Ange, we forgive you for stealing Brad. Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, campaigning to ban landmines – was Jen ever this saintly?

(2) Kevin Costner

This Robin Hood threw £13.5 million of his own money at solving the oil spill crisis in Mexico, funding scientists to create filtering machines that could separate the oil from the water.

(3) Oprah

The talkshow queen built the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls outside of Johannesburg, aimed at educating poor South Africans. It even has its own yoga studio. Never let it be said Oprah doesn’t believe in spoiling the kids.

WORST:

(1) Tom Cruise

This Scientologist shows us just how the worshipped worship: by spending huge amounts of money, rubbing it in the public’s face and expecting to be told how great he is for doing it.

(2) Bono

Dear Bono: leave the preaching to the Archbishop of Canterbury. And for god’s sake, next time choose a better opening hymn.

(3) Jamie Oliver

Back in 2010, the cheery celebu-chef was moved to tears over America’s most obese city resisting his onslaught of healthy food. If ‘crying over fat people’ was an Olympic category, Jamie Oliver would win gold, silver and bronze.

Mary-Kate & Ashley:

CFDA Womenswear designer of the year

Ashley and Mary-Kate have come a long way since their soapy, Saturday morning TV days – winning a CFDA award a week before their 26th birthday. 1-0?

Two of a Kind

At 12-years old the infamous twins had their first TV show; it only ran for two seasons, though…

(3) Full House

In their first TV appearance, the twins both played Michelle Tanner, featuring in over 190 episodes.

BeachMint

Mary-Kate and Ashley expanded their fashion guise to the Internet with their involvement in the StyleMint website.

Elizabeth:

Silent House

Only taking 15 days to film, Elizabeth proved her talent through carrying the emotions of this story in such a short space of time.

Martha Marcy May Marlene

Said to have gotten the lead part in this film without even auditioning, this was only her second lead film role.

Red Lights

Out tomorrow, Red Lights is the first film Elizabeth has undertaken with big Hollywood names. Robert DeNiro, Sigourney Weaver and Cillian Murphy star alongside her.

THE BEST:

(1) Taylor Lautner

Twilight’s Robert Pattinson, unveiled earlier this year. Suprisingly lifelike, we had trouble telling his pap pictures and waxwork apart.

(2) Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet’s elegant Ellie Saab look from the 63rd Emmys, recreated for Madame Tussauds.

(3) Will and Kate

Kate’s Issa dress – the one she wore at the official enagement announcement last year – solidified a great look for the pair.

THE WORST:

(1) Madonna

Close them legs, Madge.

(2) Miley Cyrus

Wonderland doesn’t think Miley has ever been chubby as when her waxwork was unveiled. Oo err!

(3) Sylvester Stallone

Massive (resemblance) fail.

The Best:

Probably one the best and funniest auditions in Britain’s Got Talent history. Boyle’s aspirations of becoming as famous as Elaine Page and cringe-worthy hip thrusting made her endearing from the get go. Boyle’s 2009 audition of Les Miserables’ “I Dream a Dream”, became an instant internet sensation – its view rate currently stands at a gobsmacking 92,222,375.

America’s younger, cuter Susan Boyle would have to be Jackie Evancho. The ten year old amazed the judges with her powerful operatic voice in 2010. Now somewhat of an opera sensation in America, she has released two albums and appeared in High School Musical (duh).

When car washer Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. auditioned on AGT he had a big dream, quite big teeth, and a very big voice. His rendition of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” won over the judges and lamped him the 2011 winner’s prize.

Worst:

Talent shows have that funny effect of making people think they have what it takes to sing, dance, and generally parade themselves in front of a nation’s people. Unfortunately, more often than not their audition doesn’t have the desired effect. Take a look at Eugene, the librarian who fancies himself as “…the white night on the stalion of poetry”.

Probably one of the most pointless auditions on America’s Got Talent was last year’s Mr Splash. His act was essentially belly flopping into a paddling pool. He could have died, but still, why? As one YouTube comment puts it: “this is not talent…this is stupid as fuck”. We couldn’t agree more, sir.

Candy and Cat make up Double Take, two angry timbrel players (not tambourines) who auditioned on Britian’s show in 2010. For those who don’t know what a timbrel is, it’s basically a large tambourine with tinsel hanging from it. Not only do the duo play a rather pointless instrument, they aren’t particularly good at it either. It all makes for rather sad viewing…

THE BEST:

(1) Beyonce debuts baby bump

While walking the red carpet at the Video Music Awards in August of last year, hip-hop royalty Beyonce used the opportunity to flaunt the fact that she and husband Jay Z were expecting their first child. Posing cradling her baby bump, the moment sparked a flurry of excited tweets and made every single headline, deeming whoever won, lost and performed at the VMA’s that year completely irrelevant. Beyonce, and Jay Z’s beaming smile, sit comfortably atop the red carpets best moments.

(2) Jennifer Lopez’s dress

One of the most iconic dresses ever worn on or off the red carpet; Jennifer Lopez’s sheer green Versace dress is still getting eyes popping and mouths salivating 12 years later. The dress has since been voted the fifth most iconic dress of all time by the Daily Telegraph.

(3) Halle Berry’s dress

Often serving as catwalk for the rich and famous, who is wearing what is a common source of post-award show gossip. Another actress who is no stranger to gushing compliments is Halle Berry, and that dress. Despite taking home the award for Best Actress at the 2002 Academy Awards, Halle Berry’s wine coloured, discreetly nude hand-painted and embroidered gown was all anyone was talking about. For good cause.

THE WORST:

(1) Lady Gaga egg

Known predominantly for being really, really weird – Lady Gaga still managed to push the boundaries of expectations when she arrived at the 2011 Grammy awards encased in a giant egg. “Hatching” on stage, the 24 year old singer then proceeded to perform “Born This Way.” So bad it’s good? Almost…

(2) Angelina Jolie’s leg

Spawning its own Twitter account and going viral within hours of its debut, Angelina Jolie’s right leg caused quite a stir at this years Oscars. Flashing her entire leg in a pose that can only be described as seriously awkward, 36 year old Jolie’s apparent determination to show off her lithe limbs attracted a lot of attention. But perhaps not entirely in the way she had wanted…

(3) Britney/Justin denim convo

We should have predicted Britney Spears’ meltdown from the moment she and boyfriend Justin Timberlake turned up at the 2001 American Music Awards in a coordinated denim get-up. Can anyone else taste puke in their mouths?

Words: Alya Mooro

The post BEST AND WORST: red carpet moments appeared first on Wonderland.

THE BEST:

(1) The Dark Knight.

Fogged in a droning, warbling sub-bass score, and home to the most twisted piece of posthumous method acting never committed to plastic, Christopher Nolan’s 2008 nouveau classic perfectly captures the cult comic book’s sense of metropolitan dread and isolation.

Best scene: The Joker’s quivering, game-changing entrance scene – and blink-and-you’ll-miss-it exit.

(2) Ghost World

The lynchpin for Scarlett Johanson role as indie cinema’s best-ever babestation, Ghost World faithfully ambles into Thora Birch’s problematic teen world – and to heart-wrenching effect.

Best scene: The pair’s ironic and self-effacing appearance at an end-of-year ball. Enter: AIDs jokes, awkward thousand yard stares and punch consumption by the gallon.

(3) The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Little did Steve Barron and co. know that his adaptation of Mirage Studio’s reptilious comic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would become so emblematic of early-nineties western culture. Those four anthropomorphic vigilantes, who would “booooguss” and “raayadicalll” themselves through four sequels (“Ninja Turtles” is set for 2013 release) set to stone a delicious slice of sewage-drenched pop iconography.

Best scene: *FURIOUS SCOWL* – “Pizza dude’s got thirty seconds!”

THE WORST

(1) Barb Wire

The lowest career point of a career famed for its risible moments: Pamela Anderson’s dire performance as trashy bounter-hunter-by-day missy Barb Wire hasn’t even achieved retroactive lesbian cult status (Showgirls, take a bow).

Worst scene: “Don’t call me babe”. Is that meant to be a powerful and/or hilarious girl power moment? Turns out, both descriptors apply: powerfully flat and hilariously forgettable.

(2) Popeye.

If the thought of watching Shelley Duvall “sing” and prance through her most unbearably cardboard performance doesn’t repel, check out Robin Williams’ ingloriously over-played portrayal of sea-sick comic book star Popeye in Robert Altman’s 1980 adaptation.

Worst scene: “He needs, he needs me, he needs me” x 666. Ohhhhh Shelley. This is Lucky Voice on a friday night, this is cinema, yeah?

(3) Casper.

NO!

Worst scene: Ricci’s Cinderella moment: don’t snog that centre parted former ghost Xtina, he looks like a choir boy.
