Posh and Amy Winehouse named as the worst-dressed celebrities of 2007
She crossed the Atlantic to hit the big time in fashion, but today Spice Girl Victoria Beckham suffered a Hollywood flop when a US style guru named her the worst-dressed celebrity of 2007, with Amy Winehouse close behind in second place.
"In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty 'Posh' can really wreck-em," said style guru Richard Blackwell in his annual list of fashion fiascos among music, movie and television stars.
With husband and soccer star David Beckham, she moved to Los Angeles last year amid huge media fanfare. Among the top items on Posh's "to do" list was launching herself as a style setter. And another Briton, troubled singer Amy Winehouse, came runner-up in second. "Exploding beehives above, tacky polka-dots below," Blackwell said.
Just behind was former child star Mary-Kate Olsen whose diminutive frame and floppy fashion "is hard to explain," said Blackwell. "She resembles a tattered toothpick trapped in a hurricane," he said.
Blackwell has issued his "Worst-Dressed" list for 48 years, and for just as long it has been widely watched and talked about among fashion followers. He began his career in the 1950s, had his own clothing line for 35 years and designed for older stars Jayne Mansfield, Peggy Lee and Jane Russell.
He said this past year stands out as one of the "most disastrous fashion years in recent memory."
However, he spared Britney Spears from the list. "I felt that it was inappropriate at this time to make comment, when her personal life is in such upheaval. I hope 2008 is a better year for her," Blackwell said:
Pop stars Fergie and Kelly Clarkson as No. 4 and No. 5 in the worst-dressed rankings.
But he added: "Let it be said, however, that my criticisms are based purely on their fashion flaws - I'm sure they're all wonderful people beneath the deluge of dreck they drape themselves in."
He also released a Fabulous Fashion Independents list although they were not ranked. He included Reese Witherspoon, Jemima Khan, Beyonce, Angelina Jolie, Helen Mirren, Nicole Kidman, Katie Holmes, Kate Middleton, Madonna and Cate Blanchett.
He even mentioned Queen Elizabeth who, Blackwell said, "managed to update her Stonehenge of Style image".Source
