Spears, Hilton tie for `Worst Dressed'

By LINDA DEUTSCH, AP Special Correspondent Tue Jan 9, 5:42 PM ET


LOS ANGELES - Dubbed "style-free and fashion deprived,"  Britney Spears and  Paris Hilton tied for the No. 1 spot on Mr. Blackwell's 47th annual "Worst Dressed" list released Tuesday.


"Two peas in an overexposed pod," Blackwell said of the skimpy attire worn by the two celebutantes he called the "Screamgirls."


Some of Blackwell's nastiest words were reserved for Camilla Parker-Bowles, a member of the British royal family, who finished No. 2 on the list.


"The Duchess of Dowdy strikes again," wrote Blackwell. "In feathered hats that were once the rage, she resembles a petrified parakeet from the Jurassic age. A royal wreck."


Blackwell, no longer an active designer but still an acid-tongued critic of celebrity fashion, aimed his poison pen at Hollywood, with young entertainers dominating the list.


At No. 3 was actress Lindsay Lohan, scolded by Blackwell for turning "from adorable to deplorable." 


Christina Aguilera was also in Blackwell's fashion hall of shame. He called her a "dazzling singer" but added that she "puts good taste through the wardrobe wringer. All crass and no class."


He referred to  Mariah Carey as "Mariah the fashion pariah ... the queen of catastrophic kitsch," and "American Idol" judge  Paula Abdul as "a fallen fashion idol."


He said actress  Sharon Stone resembles "an over-the-hill Cruella DeVille," and  Tori Spelling embodies "down and out in Beverly Hills."


"Grey's Anatomy" star


Sandra Oh was faulted for too many beads and bangles. "She's layered lunacy from head to toe," Blackwell said.


Meryl Streep, who starred in the fashion-themed movie, "The Devil Wears Prada," came in at No. 10 on the annual dis-list.


"From Streep you could weep," Blackwell said. "Her beauty of a career cannot be denied, but that beast of a wardrobe is pure mother of the bride."


On a kinder note, Blackwell offered his 10 "fabulous fashion independents" — actresses  Kate Winslet,  Angelina Jolie and  Helen Mirren, singers  Barbra Streisand and Beyonce, California Rep. Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record), Princess Charlotte of Monaco, model Heidi Klum and actresses  Katie Holmes and Marcia Cross.

I'm glad someone finally said Xtina's fashion SUCKS. I personally hate it. It's really costume-y to me.

DO you know where I can find the complete list? I saw the same article on yahoo and I was surprised they didn't link the the complete list.

I agree with a lot of what he says... but I don't like Katie Holmes's style at all.  I'm surprised he called her a fashion independent.  She used to dress well (before Tom Cruise!), but now I think she usually (except for photo spreads and her wedding) looks bad and wears stuff that's not age-appropriate.

I concur with the worst dressed.  Katie Holmes is boring.  Kate Winslet is lovely - I always think she looks marvelous!

I agree about Christina, I think all her clothes look like they're made for the stage!  And the red lipstick needs to go.  Ew.


I don't think that Angelina Jolie belongs on a best dressed list.  I'll concede that she's pretty, but she wears bascially all black all the time, and most of the time, it looks like she's just wearing a black t-shirt!  Boring. 


I love Kate Winslet, too.

What's up with Beyonce being in the best dressed?  Her clothing is trashy or tacky 97% of the time.

I agree too... sometimes she looks pretty but most of the time I think she looks like a drag queen. Huge, fake wigs and weaves, beauty pageant dresses and way too much makeup.

I concur. Plus, she's very matchy - like her eyeshadow matches her purse which matches her shoes which matches her nails.

I totally agree.  She is so pageant-y!  And her dresses always seem to do really weird things with her boobs--I swear they always look like they're just about to pop out of her dress.

No one will EVER accuse me of being a Paris fan, but she really doesn't deserve to share the spot with Britney. Paris sometimes dresses like a $2 hooker, but she at least looks like she put some effort into it.


I sort of feel badly for Camilla, too. She is frumpy, but she can never win with the press.
