Social media pokes fun at Golden Globes fashion fails comparing Jane Fonda's ruffles to cakes and J Lo to a bottle of mustard.

Awards season with its endless parade of gorgeous gowns has plenty to delight fashion fans, but sometimes looking out for the frock horrors can be a lot more entertaining.
And at last night's Golden Globes there was plenty of fodder for social media users who likened Jane Fonda's white ruffled gown to everything from a lampshade to a crème brûlée to a cake.
The veteran star, 78, stepped down the red carpet in a form fitting Yves Saint Laurent couture, with an unusual layer of ruffles at the neck.

Jane Fonda at last night's Golden Globes looks fabulous at 78, but the massive ruffles on this gown distracted from an otherwise-gorgeous look - and were turned into memes on Twitter



Leslie Banaroch thought her look was more like a creme caramel dessert (right)

Girlwithnojob likened the veteran actress to a cake
Down by the seashore: Twitter almost immediately reacted to the Grace and Frankie actress' eccentric ensemble, with one of the more flattering comparisons were to white seashells

Looks familiar... This Twitter user thought the dress bore a striking resemblance to her very own toilet decor
Poking fun: Aside from lamps, clowns and bathroom products, some commenters comparing it to the ruffles worn around the neck of a Pierrot clown

'I kind of want to eat Jane Fonda,' Girl With No Job wrote on Twitter, posting a picture of the actress alongside a a three tiered cake with ruffled icing. 
Divadepressao made the exact same cake comparison, while Leslie Benaroch also likened the the actress to a confectionery on social media.


Hollywood glamour: Jennifer Lopez donned a dramatic golden yellow gown for the 2016 Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills on Sunday
She felt the dress reminded her more of a lampshade, and described it as something that's 'impossible to separate from part of the furniture'. 
RJ City thought her look was more Pierrot clown, saying: 'Tonight, Jane Fonda will be performing Pagliacci', referring to the name of an Italian opera, which means clowns in English.  
Foodstuffs did seem to be the theme of the night though, with J Lo also getting a ribbing for her vibrant choice of dress.

Amy Odell couldn't help poking fun at J Lo's bright yellow caped gown, saying it reminded her of a squeezy bottle of mustard 

Stunning: Katy Perry wore a form-fitting pink gown as she arrived at the Golden Globes on Sunday
Katy Perry was pretty in pink but Girlwithnojob felt she belonged in Spongebob Squarepants the cartoon 
Actress Jaimie Alexander, who stars in Marvel films such as Thor and the upcoming Blindspot, was likened to a stick of chewing gum by Imgur user LemonRum. 
Katy Perry looked striking as she arrived for the awards in a plunging pink Prada dress, complete with an ultra bouffant hairdo. 
Girlwithnojob was not convinced however, and said there should be a 'Who Wore It Best' comparison between the singer and Patrick - the starfish from Spongebob Squarepants.  
And MTV Style felt that singer and actress Zendaya Coleman had clearly taken inspiration from the flamenco dancer emoji when picking her outfit.

Marvel star Jaimie Alexander found her look being pitted against a stick of green chewing gum 

The 46-year-old pop star and TV host oozed sultry sophistication in her caped Giambattista Valli‎ gown with figure-hugging ruching and thigh-high slit.
She wore her hair in a chic new 'lob' cut, but it wasn't enough to distract everyone from her ultra bright gown.
Amy Odell was not impressed, likening the ensemble to a bottle of French's mustard.
'J Lo shaping up to be first big fashion meme of the night,' she said.
