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.

How to be a hot mess at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in Berlin

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.

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)

How to be a hot mess at a charity benefit

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)

How to be a hot mess at New York Fashion Week

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)
