"Stop calling yourself 'humble', honorifics or not. Considering how you dress, it's not even funny, it's ludicrous."
—Hermione Granger to Lucius Malfoy, The Parselmouth of Gryffindor
"WHY DO I LOOK LIKE THAT? WHAT KIND OF SHITTY DESIGN IS THAT? I HAVE SERIOUS COMPLAINTS FOR PAPILLON, HE WILL HEAR FROM ME!"
—Nino complaining about his akumatized form, Old stories, new discoveries
Nino: You think [Hawkmoth] still has the kinda cool "dark prom" aesthetic? Or did the effort of fusion mean he went back to clown outfits.
Alya: You're still upset about Bubbler, aren't you?
Nino: YES. THE REST OF Y'ALL LOOKED DOPE.

Ragyo looked rather different from any of the other times Jakuzure had encountered her. Normally somewhere between a light peach tone and marble white, her skin was now almost reflectively white, caked in layer upon layer of makeup and skin cream. Her hair was twisted up in two enormous coils, with the rainbow underside shining only through gaps in the whiteness; the change in style made her eyes look even sharper and more bestial. She'd also exchanged her typical cleavage-exposing gowns, cocktail dresses, and sundresses for some kind of puffed-up flowing dress with rainbow stripes and a ridiculous Renaissance-style collar. The ultimate effect was less "intimidating figure of great respect and esteem" and more "old European queen cosplaying a circus clown."
No matter. Beneath the gaudy clothes and the terrible makeup, it was still visibly the same woman who'd made her Lady's life hell, and she'd still had to struggle – from the moment Ragyo stepped onto the campus to this very second on the stage-slash-runway towering above the field – not to rip their secret weapon away from Gamagoori and shove it up the Clown Queen's unmentionable parts.

That ridiculously oversized ring their leader was wearing for example, and the body glitter. Really? And the leather pants. Unironically, leather pants. Not to mention Lilith's whole Queen of the Undead outfit, which Greta thought you could probably buy online at the kind of shop that sold coffin-shaped handbags for fifty quid.

Konstantine Brayko: Who are you? Where did you come from - where the fuck are my guards?!
Mike Thorton: I told your guards to go home and go to bed. That jacket was so bright they couldn't sleep.
Brayko: What the fuck did you say?!
Mike: Oh, so you can't hear me over that jacket either? No wonder it was so easy to sneak in here.
[Alternative]
Mike: Is that jacket for real? Wow. And I thought the mansion was tasteless.
Brayko: Let's see how funny you are when I cut out your tongue, buddy.
Mike: Big talk from someone dressed like a seat cover.

Your swimsuit is horrendously lacking in taste. You're sporting twintails, which really only suits young girls, grandma.

Real Life
Cobra Commander isn’t very funny any more. Although, really, given that his uniform includes wearing a bag over his head, there are limits to how unfunny he can be at any given time.
