Britney Spears’s Latest ‘X Factor’ Look: Daisy Dukes, Sequins … and Zebra Print?

INF; Splash News Online

What goes up, must come down — at least that’s the case for Britney Spears‘s X Factor style.

Though our love for the pop icon will never wither, we can’t seem to figure out what’s going in the wardrobe department over at her upcoming FOX show.

Style-wise, the judge started the season strong, showing off her toned bod in a skin-tight, hot-pink Brian Lichtenberg mini, followed by a step in a high-fashion direction: an Alaïa fit-and-flare frock.

And earlier this week, Spears continued her cute streak in on-trend neon-pink skinnies offset with a cream blazer and a smokey eye (left). But then, the star took a total step back. She was spotted at the Miami auditions Thursday (right) in leather-like Bleulab Daisy Dukes, a Studio 54-esque sparkly Joe’s tank and a zebra-print cosmetic bag (we assume that wasn’t part of the outfit, but worth noting nonetheless). A plus? Her hair looked great.

We’re hoping that this less-than-amazing outfit is just a minor hiccup for Spears and she’ll get it right next time. Our advice: More Alaïa, less sparkle! Tell us: What do you think of Spears’s X Factor style?
