Despite the advice, Klum braved the red carpet in a pastel purple gown spotted with ruffled flowers by Marchesa.

The dress was mocked on social media, with some comparing Klum's look to Disney's "fairy godmother" and labelled the gown a "rejected bridesmaid dress".

"Heidi Klum's dress looks like Maya Rudolph's dress from Bridesmaids #Oscars #ladyStPetsoisJuju ?? #heidiklum," Margy tweeted.

"Heidi Klum needs to fire... and sue her stylist. Oy vey. #Oscars #ERedCarpet," another wrote.

"Dislike this dress, wouldn't think Heidi Klum would wear this ?? beautiful colour just take off the bows #Oscars," Nikki J tweeted.

But not all fans were against the supermodel's fashion choice.

"Heidi Klum looks like my birthday cake. But oddly, she pulls it off... #oscars," Cynthia Barnes said.

"Already love the dress and haven't seen it completely!" Stef Alistair said on Instagram.

Despite this fairy-tale blunder, The Little Mermaid has been a much more successful influence on this year's red carpet, with some of the best dressed ladies embracing sparkly, sequined gowns.
