11 Celebs Rocking Ugly Holiday Sweaters

by Melanie Richtman

When ugly holiday sweaters first started becoming popular, everyone was wearing them as a joke, but over the years, ugly sweaters have earned their place as a holiday staple, rather than something people wear to be ironic. There is no stronger evidence for this phenomenon than the recent upswing of celebrities wearing ugly holiday sweaters. Even Beyonce wore an ugly holiday sweater. BEYONCE.

The only thing I'd like to call out, is that as ugly holiday sweaters become more widespread, they are becoming more and more stylish. Like some of them are actually pretty cute. For example, Lauren Conrad wore a Dr. Seuss-inspired holiday sweater that said "Ho! Ho! Ho!" along with a pair of leather leggings and I couldn't even include it in this roundup because I deemed it "too cute" (as if I am the decider when it comes to what is considered an ugly holiday sweater. Spoiler alert: I'm not).

From concerts to exclusive parties, celebs have been spotted wearing ugly holiday sweaters out and about, because 'tis the season to be festive. Luckily, they all love sharing selfies, so we get to indulge in some pretty great celebrity ugly sweater photos. Enjoy!

No one's surprised that Cyrus wore an ugly Christmas sweater, but if you look closely, it's the same sweater as Wiz Khalifa.

The model pals threw their heads back in laughter when they realized how great they look in ugly sweaters.

Upon further inspection, I'm not convinced this is an ugly holiday sweater, but rather just an ugly sweater worn to a holiday event. Mayer even sat with Santa.

9. Olly Murs

Not quite as great as the ugly sweater Murs shared with his friends Demi Lovato, Niall Horan and Sam Smith last year.

10. Kate Hudson

Okay, fine, Kate Hudson's penguin sweater is actually kind of cute.

11. 2 Chainz

2 Chainz joined the Good Morning America crew for an ugly sweater showdown... I think they were all winners.
