On Thursday, The Cut published a horrifying report about the imminent return of low-rise jeans, a comeback that’s been predicted by several other outlets (and Jennifer Lopez, who recently flashed her thong in the name of fashion) over the past couple of years.

Arguably the worst trend to come out of the early 2000s (an era riddled with regrettable styles), low-rise jeans are universally unflattering, even on celebrities with flawless physiques. Ahead, 15 star snaps that prove plummeting waistbands should be left in the past — because if famous folks can’t pull off the look, what hope is there for the rest of us?
