Some celebs have perfected their signature look. For Lady Gaga, it's OTT dresses and sky-high platform boots. For Janelle Monae, meanwhile, it's black-and-white. And for the Kardashian/Jenner sisters, it's anything sexy.These stars, and many others like them, have stuck to their red carpet M.O. for such a long time that it's hard to imagine them wearing anything else. That's why it's always a shock when they switch up their looks all of a sudden. Admit it, did you ever think Nicki Minaj would tone it down after years of wearing loud colors and wild wigs? Or that Miley Cyrus would suddenly go demure after her Bangerz days?Some changes we welcomed, others not so much. For example, although Angelina Jolie has always been elegant in her go-to black and other neutral tones, we absolutely loved it when she wore color to the Maleficent: Mistress of Evil photocall. On the flip side, it was a bit painful to see style stars like Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Watson don head-scratching outfits to high-profile events. One thing's for sure, though: whether or not we like the change, these unexpected style switch-ups always make for a more interesting red carpet.Ahead, let's take a look at some of these sartorial surprises from our favorite celebs.
