Celebrity Tanning Fails That Will Make You Wonder WTF They Were Thinking

Tanning is tricky, and these celebrity tanning fails prove it

Celebs have top-rated stylists, Instagram-famous makeup artists and a full-fledged #GlamSquads always at the ready. So it’s nearly impossible to believe that some hit the red carpet looking anything but their very best. But the constant pressure to look flawless often proves to be their undoing. Because, as these photos demonstrate, they sometimes go overboard trying to capture that elusive sun-kissed glow. And with celebrity tanning fails striking A-listers like pop star Selena Gomez and Instagram “It” girl Gigi Hadid,  it’s clear no one is safe from looking like a shriveled-up orange punched with a packet of bronzer.
