30. Brendan Hunt and Shannon Nelson
Rich Fury/Getty Images(L) Brendan Hunt's pants look too big and wrinkly, bringing his top hat and cane look down, while Shannon Nelson's dress looks like wallpaper.
29. Jon Batiste
Rich Fury/Getty ImagesJon Batiste wears a far too busy print, and should have opted for a more subtle way to show off the pattern.
28. Jamie Lee

20. Madeline Brewer

19. Kenan Thompson
