Icelandic singer Bjork is obviously most famous for her hideous sense of fashion. Her songs are second. While nothing can outdo her infamous swan dress (which, we’re embarrassed to admit, we sort of admire), last night’s getup could definitely make the “Top 20 Ugliest Bjork Dresses” list.

Bjork showed up for the closing party for artist Maria Abramovic’s “The Artist is Present” exhibit at MOMA. While the final day including a man running up to Abramovic and forcing himself to vomit in front of her, the second most atrocious event of the day was Bjork’s dress. Remember those extra-hideous Christmas tree stars that were so popular in the sixties? West German made, if we recall. Well Bjork clearly broke into our mother’s home, rooted around in the attic, found it and somehow managed to squeeze herself inside and wear it as a dress. We’re not going to pretend that makes sense, but nothing about Bjork has to.

The best part is the gold lamé nightmare is even worse from behind! Normally when Bjork walks away from you, you breathe a sigh of relief. But in this case clawing your eyes out is the most appropriate response.

Now given that this was the closing party for a bunch of artsy folks, a lot of people were in strange get ups. There’s Antony Hegarty with “OH NO” Sharpie-ed onto his forehead. There’s the “Salvador Dalí jumped into my subconscious and twisted my nightmares”-esq outfit of Kembra Pfahler. Then there’s Christina Ricci in an outfit we can only describe as particularly unflattering, which is the greatest fashion compliment of the night. Actually that’s untrue, Ciara looks downright elegant. And Courtney Love looks good for Courtney Love. Liv Tyler’s wearing part of Batman’s logo around her neck, but worse things have happened. Michael Stipe and Patti Smith look like rock stars. Understandable.

Actually after looking at Kembra Pfahler, we really can’t deride Bjork’s tinsel explosion. But that doesn’t mean we have to like it.
