Worst-dressed man of the year: Jared Leto
The band Thirty Seconds to Mars, with Tomo Milicevic, left, Shannon Leto and Jared Leto, attends the MTV Europe Music Awards. We’re not sure what’s worse: the ‘80s mix-and-match “Working Girl” skirt suit Leto is attempting to rock, the skinny pants or the mittens. (Ian Gavan / Getty Images)
GQ magazine was on to something when it named Jared Leto the worst-dressed man of 2011. He’s the poster boy for looking like a hot mess, and not in a good way. Here’s a look back at some of Leto’s less-than-stellar appearances this year.

Compared with Jared Leto’s other duds, his red velvet suit is not half bad. He’s bordering on not looking like a mess, but his Sonic the Hedgehog hair puts him over the edge. (Marco Prosch / Getty Images)
Jared Leto, even if you stare at the camera really hard, you can’t distract us. We can still see that you’re wearing a mesh tank top. It’s evident that see-through shirts are a no-no for men as well as women -- maybe more so for men. Thank you, Jared Leto, for clearing this up. The kid’s face to the right says it all.

Sky Ferreira and Jared Leto. Not only is he in a tank top, we get an unwelcome eye-full of his pits. (Pascal Le Segretain / Getty Images)

Here he is in a tank top again. Yes, Jared, we see you and your hairy pits; no need to point. (Andrew H. Walker / Getty Images)
Jared, we know it’s hard to leave the house in anything but sweat pants and a T-shirt, so we commend you for at least accessorizing with some pretty bracelets. (Marc Andrew Deley / Getty Images)

This look could actually work for Jared if it were 1990, he were guest starring on “Saved By the Bell” or he were 12 years old. Shannon doesn’t really help the band’s look with his sweatshirt dress either. (Jamie McCarthy / Getty Images)
Some people like to dress up for charity events. Jared Leto is not one of them. Instead, he wears a below-the-knee coat -- a style typically worn by flashers -- and a pair of sneakers. It should also be noted that the deer-in-the-headlights look is never in style. (Alberto E. Rodriguez / Getty Images)

Maybe it was really cold in the venue. Cold enough to warrant a denim jacket, a poncho, mittens and a Starbucks coffee. Jared Leto, you don’t look stylishly warm; you just look like you’re probably really sweaty. (Stephen Lovekin / Getty Images)
