Cheryl Hines, known for her acting and comedic talents, is no stranger to bold statements, both in her viewpoints and her wardrobe. As the spouse of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., she often holds differing political beliefs but maintains a respectful dialogue with him. A glimpse into their relationship surfaced during RFK Jr.’s nomination by President Donald Trump for a significant government position, highlighting their public differences. While they may navigate their contrasting beliefs, Hines’ fashion sense often attracts attention for its audacity, showcasing a mixture of daring and questionable outfits.

With continuous buzz surrounding RFK Jr. and his personal life, Hines seems to be turning up the volume on her own visibility. Frequently appearing on red carpets with striking outfits, some of her style choices have raised eyebrows, veering between provocative and overly casual. While embracing bold fashion can be fun, Hines has at times struggled to strike the perfect balance. Here’s a look back at a selection of her more controversial fashion moments.

At the 2005 premiere of “Herbie: Fully Loaded,” Hines chose an outfit that felt more suited for a casual gathering than a red carpet event. Although she starred as Sally in the film, her spaghetti strap dress lacked the formality expected at such occasions, and its design recalled a less flattering era of 2000s fashion. While Hines wore it confidently, the outfit fell short in elegance.

The array of colors in her dress added to the chaos, with clashing patterns reminiscent of a noisy fashion phase. The vivid, overlapping prints drew attention to the dress rather than to Hines herself, making it a questionable fashion choice.

During the PETA Gala’s 30th Anniversary, Hines opted for another eye-catching ensemble that missed the mark, blending casual and elaborate elements. As galas typically imply a touch of luxury, her chosen outfit felt too informal and perhaps cheap for the occasion. Nailing cocktail attire is indeed challenging, and Hines’ dress didn’t quite meet the criteria for a sophisticated evening out.

Beyond her fashion choices, Hines has long supported various charities and PETA, particularly opposing animal mistreatment. In a notable 2013 letter, she advocated against animal use in entertainment, contributing to a positive change as by 2023, UniverSoul Circus ceased using live animals in performances, undoubtedly a significant success for both PETA and Hines.

On Election Day 2020, Hines stole the spotlight while celebrating Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ victory, flamboyantly waving an American flag. Her infectious enthusiasm was highlighted in a joyous Instagram post, where she expressed her excitement for this historic moment in American history as she praised the election of the first female Vice President.
