Blackwell's Worst Dressed List

Blackwell's Worst Dressed List is out and just as ugly as it ever was. The top ten always seems to be a mixed emotion for me. I tip back and forth between surprise, agreement, anger and laughter. This year's list has been especially surprising for me because it contains a few ladies who often get it right on the red carpet. While I will say that each of these fashion icons has been caught doing it both right and wrong (some more wrong than others), they are all still dear to my heart and fashion just wouldn't be the same without them. Be it bad or good.

Here is Blackwell's top 10 along with his commentary. My commentary will be in PURPLE. = )

10. Alison Arngrim:
"Little Nellie of the prairie, looks like a 1940's fashion editor for the Farmers Almanac."
FALM: "ummmm, yeah. I had to Google her just to see who she is. That alone says enough. Definitely the epitome of Matronly fashion."

9. Lindsay Lohan:
"Lindsay the fashion frenzy strikes again! Lohan takes fashion to a new low."
FALM: "Why her? True, rehab is certainly not chic but it sure seems to be in style these days. Does she at least get points for that?

8. Jessica Simpson:
"Forget the Cowboys. In prom queen screams, can it get any worse? She's a global fashion curse!"
FALM: "Ok, I will admit that Jessica gets caught on the cheese wheel from time to time, but certainly there are worse offenders. She has come along way since her first album."

7. Avril Lavigne:
"Gothic make-up courtesy the mad spatula — Fashions provided by ... The house of Dracula!"
FALM: "Point taken. She would definitely top my list of celebrities that I would least like to go shopping with."

6. Eva Green:
"Stuck in neon nightmares not fit for the sane. Fashion this loud could give Bond a migraine! A profusion of confusion from toes to nose!"
FALM: "She's definitely a bit out there at times however, I think she is on to something. In some photos, she looks impossibly glamorous in a Gothic chic sort of way."

5. Kelly Clarkson:
"Her heavenly voice soars above the rest ... but those belly-baring bombs are hellish at best! She may be the queen of 'Pro-Active' — but that wardrobe looks downright radioactive!"
FALM: "Wow. I just realized that Kelly Clarkson has never even crossed my mind when I think of fashion. I hate to say it (no I don't) but, her music video looks are terrible."

4. Fergie:
"Another style-free 'Fergie' in fashion's hall of shame? Yes, when it comes to couture chaos, guess it's all in a name!"
FALM: "Her stage clothes and video outfits tend to be whimsical for lack of a better term. But she is innovative and I still love her. I wish that I could be Fergalicious too."

3. Mary Kate Olsen:
"YIKES! In layers of cut-rate kitsch, Mary Kate's look is hard to explain ... she resembles a tattered toothpick-trapped in a hurricane!"
FALM: "Sorry Mary Kate but, you belong on this list honey. She is on the edge of something fabulous but, I just don't know what it is yet. Try again. You can do it!"

2. Amy Winehouse:
"Exploding beehives above … tacky polka-dots below ... she's part 50's car-hop horror."
FALM: "If she wont go to rehab will she at lest go to What Not To Wear? I am still convinced that Amy has tons of potential though. She should give Dita Von Teese a call"

1. Victoria Beckham:
"Forget the fashion spice — wearing a skirt would suffice! In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty posh can really wreck-em."
FALM: "I love 80% of what she does. I don't think she deserves to be # 1 here but, if she turns down the porn notch a little and eats a few more orders of fish & chips, she might avoid being on this list next year."

hahah your comments are funny. I agree with Posh - I always love what she wears. Maybe it's because you looks so awesome in them!

If I had a bod like Posh, I would porn it up a notch or two myself.

Maybe it's just me but I really think that stars would benefit greatly from turning to nature for clothing inspiration.. why are fruit and vegetables under represented in this industry? Here's one site who's got the right idea. www.antifashionleague.com
