Posh, Amy Winehouse and Mary-Kate Olsen Top Mr. Blackwell’s Worst Dressed List!

Dave M. Benett/Getty

Another year, another Worst-Dressed List from the infamous Mr. Blackwell, who singles out his “Ten Titans of Taste-Free Terrors” from 2007 for his 48th Annual List. Topping his list is Victoria Beckham, whom he calls out for her “skinny-mini monstrosities”. Next up is Amy Winehouse, whom he calls a “part 50’s car-hop horror,” and Mary-Kate Olsen, whom Blackwell says “she resembles a tattered toothpick-trapped in a hurricane.” Ouch! Also making the list: Fergie, Kelly Clarkson, Eva Green, Avril Lavigne, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan and Alison Arngrim. But the fashion critic does offer this salve to the style-challenged, explaining “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.”

Mr. Blackwell also singles out the women he finds truly fashionable. Reese Witherspoon, Jemima Khan, Beyonce, Angelina Jolie, Helen Mirren, Nicole Kidman, Katie Holmes, Kate Middleton, Katherine Heigl and Cate Blanchett all make the cut. And for those of you who might be surprised that Britney Spears didn’t make a repeat performance, Mr. Blackwell explains “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.”

Tell us: Do you agree with Mr. Blackwell’s list? Is Posh truly the worst dressed star in Hollywood?

lily

Posh is not only the worst dress, but the ugliest as well…….her body sucks with those glued on fake boobs. Tasteless and tacky and you can add Mariah Carey to the worst list as well.

Jon Bodack

That dress Posh Spice is wearing isn’t too good looking!

Scarlett

Yes I do.

Rita

I agree with most of the list. Victoria B does have some strange outfits. The best dressed is well done except for Angelina Jolie who I just have no use for!! Good judgment leaving Brit alone!!

Happy New Year

bugscar

I think Blackwell’s list is right on (for once)!!!

Joanna

Totally agree with Mr. Blackwell on Posh. Sometimes less is more. We know she’s got money to blow but perhaps it is better spent on charity rather than purported “high-fashion” eyesores.

Ashley

I completely disagree!!! I LOVE her style. I mean, everyone has their slip-ups, but overall she has great style.

Niko

I wish more people would follow Mr. Blackwell’s lead and leave Britney alone (for a while). :)

Brianne

I do agree with Mr. Blackwell that Victoria Beckham’s sense of style is quite radical, but not entirely, being that I’m a huge SPICE GIRLS fan; and just last month had the pleasure of seeing Posh Spice—along with Scary, Sporty, Baby and Ginger—perform live at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, as part of their mega-reunion world tour. As for the other ladies who made his worst dressed list, the majority of them are in dire need of improvement when it comes to their sense of style and fashion!!!

Katherine

Posh is not the worst… but I agree with the rest. I think the best drest list is dead on!

Vivian

I agree with naming Victoria Beckman on the worst dress list. Her outfits are good at times but most are outrageous.

jeannette

I agree this Victoria is nothing but a bag of bones. Her boobs are perfectley rounded cause she is so skinney it is not prett. Her boobs look so fake even though they are they are not supposed to look like that. SHe is not pretty at all

Heather J

Wow I pretty much agree with everything!

ams

obviously these ugly outfits got the attention they were meant to garner.

ctg1989

I agree with Mr. Blackwell in adding Victoria Beckham (Posh) into the Worst-Dressed List. Her choice of clothing always seems so painful and extreme for her. She never looks like she’s content in her clothing. It’s so over the top and severe.

Angie

I think choosing Victoria Beckham as WORST dressed is totally 150% accurate! She needs to stay inside & never come out until she changes her style! I’m glad they left Britney out of this list, because she has so much other crap going on right now! His choices for best dressed are right on the money, but he left out these greats: Halle Berry, Jessica Alba & Jennifer Aniston! They always dress fantastically!

Jess

Couldn’t Agree More!!!

M

Total agreement!!! Does she ever dress in classic attire? She always looks like a whore that is completly unhappy… His best dressed list is pretty much right on, I do think Jennifer Aniston should make the list as well as a few others.. Right on!!

Terri

I agree Posh is one of the worst dressed. It would help if she kept her boobs in her clothing instead of pushing them out over the top! I don’t have a problem showing cleavage, but come on!

joanne

I agree totally with Posh being on the worst dressed list. Money, in her case, does not buy taste. Someone should tell her that her boobs dont need to be shoved upwards to her neck – she’s a walking advertisement of bad taste and bad boob surgery.

MJ

Wow that discription of Mary-Kate was pretty funny. Ouch is right.

L. McLoughlin

Victoria Beckham is nothing more than a skeleton with huge breast implants. What an incredibly warped self-image and low self-esteem she must have to make herself look like that. She is truly a bizarre and detrimental role model for young girls.

Anissa

There is no way that Beyonce belongs on the best dressed list! Sure she occasionally gets it right, but rarely. Where’s Halle Berry? She and Nicole Richie have looked great while pregnant.

Mari

What? I think Posh is a great dresser. She wears things that most of us couldn’t. Now…I am SO tired of hearing about Angelina Jolie! How is she best dressed? All she wears is BLACK! We get it! You help people around the world…blah blah blah. That doesn’t mean you can’t dress well. She’s even makes Brad Pitt look boring now too!

Elle

I like to call Posh ridiculous spice. Ridiculous hair, ridiculous oversized fake breaks, squeezed into ridiculous tiny outfits.

ava dean

I think posh would be a lot more like her moniker if she wore longer skirts that are more streamlined but otherwise her accessorizing is pretty good. Yes her clothes are without argument way too short but she is by no means among hollywood’s worst dressed. Hollywood could atually learn a thing or two from her if they looked without the eyes of prejudice.

glori

I’m so glad Mr. Blackwell called out Victoria Beckham. It’s bad enough to have to look at her face splashed everywhere, but to also see the monstrocities of her outfits? Thank you Mr. Blackwell!!!

Steph

I don’t agree with Mr.Blackwell’s best dressed list at all!
Posh is a fashion icon who is devastatingly beautiful.
Women across the world are begging stylists for her exact haircut, she always looks amazing.
She can be over the top but that is why she is called Posh and that’s why we and Becks love her.!

Monica

I agree that Victoria Beckham should top the worst dressed list for some of the awful outfits she wore this year. But she could also be on the best dressed list for some other outfits. She wasn’t all bad this year.

adeline

Katherine Heigl as best dressed? She has no personality and her choices could not possibly be more boring. I like Angelina, but I find difficult to admire the sense of taste of someone who only wears beige and black

Kristi L.

I’ve never agreed with him and it looks like I still don’t. I think Posh dresses better then a lot of other people but I guess I just never understood this list in the first place. Why are we having some old guy tells us who looks good and who doesn’t? This is just encouraging that we should judge people on how they look. So what if someone has a different style.. I thought it was a good thing to be unique? But I guess not, superficial seems to be taking over this country. So sad…

B

Your all a bunch of idiots
POSH is smoking hot and i envy david for being married to her

Juli

Posh should be renamed as “scary spice”!! She has no fashion sense. What she wears doesn’t even qualify as clothing. Is anything “real” on that woman?

Kellie

I totally agree. Its about time someone tells it like it really is. One would think with all that money She could but beautiful clothes instead of trying so hard to look like a cheap tramp.

diana

No way! Posh is a style icon.

Sarah

I agree with everything except Angelina on the best-dressed list– she has no style. Being born beautiful doesn’t count.

Monster's Mom

Ironic that Katie Holmes made best dressed after taking tips from Posh.

Charlotte

hey, great list really!! i totally agree!! i love angelina’s outfits and i think kate holmes and Katherine Heigl are also very fashionable!!

Joan

Right on, Mr. Blackwell. This woman looks like a caricature of herself. How proud her children must be to have her sticking out all over.

Kris

I agree with Mr. Blackwell, although I would switch Posh to no. 2 and Amy Winehouse to no. 1. Enough with the atrocious rat’s hive of a hairdo and bat-wing eyeliner. I think we all get the Ronnie Spector analogy by now. She looks much better without the get-up. I hope she gets healthy this year and puts on a couple of pounds, too.

Tuesday

I don’t agree with POSH being the number one worst dressed. She has made some mistakes but she has redeemed herself. However, I feel that even with all the problems Britney has, she is still the number one worst dressed!! She has put herself in these situations and yes, I feel a little bad for her but she does it to herself. I also feel that Beyonce should be in the worst dressed list because she has more than a few horrid outfits! Other than those few, I agree with the rest if the list.

jessica westrick

i think that she is a bad dresser but hell after what 3 babies and i had a body like that i would show it off hehe. but I think the worst dressed women in hollywood is mary kate and ashley olsen they have more money then anyone their age and they cant dress themselves.

jen

Beyonce dresses horrible-always in something glitterly, bright, and over the top. Posh dresses so much better than Beyonce with the occasional slip up.

ssckatt

I don’t think Posh is “too skinny”, I just think she is ugly. She has to be outrageous because she doesn’t have a natural beauty. Her look is too harsh and fake but i don’t think she has much choice but to have to take that route because she really isn’t pretty any way. Just has to have a costume that draws attention away from here face so you don’t see the true flaws. Those fake boobs are a prop, too bad it was a bad job

not important

I also think that POSH is dresses terribly. What about that green montrousity that looked like a bunch of stringers hanging from her, now, as for her husband, what else can I say, gorgeous. I also agree, Brittany needs to be left alone. She can’t even go to a convenient store without being followed. If someone was trying to take my children away, I’d have a meltdown too, major. Also, does anyone actually think that Federline is a great Dad???? What do you think he’s doing when he’s out clubbing??? Sorry to get off the subject.

not important

Also, Winehouse looke better when she was wondering the streets after just waking up then she does with that ridiculous beehive hairdo, as well as her choice in clothing.

NICOLE. AYOUB

I think this is BS…..Not only is posh the best dressed but she has to be one of the sexiest women alive!!!! I totally disagree…..I love Victoria!
XOXO

Morgan

posh is posh, if you don’t take that into account then you are dumb. She isn’t the worst dressed and she shouldn’t be on the list.

Maria

I totally agree. Posh is just trying to hard! Give her a burger so her big boobs actually might match her body. If I were her I would be ashamed of myself. Shes a mother too! Of three boys! Is that how a mom should dress? Like a high class hooker? I think not!

Daisy

I totally DISAGREE, Posh does not always look perfect or well coordinated, but she does look different and very stylish other times. I love how they post one of the ugly outfits she owns and base all of their comments on that!!! People want to see robots, Posh is actually CHIC!!! Go Posh!!!

Louis

Well the only thing i could say is that Mr Blackwell taste for clothes is out of fashion. His criticisms are completely out of sense because in his ” best dressed list ” they only are no risk taken people. They just don’t anything punky , original and interesting. Call it classic if you want , i call it lame and out. What about that crap list of the ” worst dressed ” with Mary-Kate Olsen , Lindsay Lohan and Victoria Beckham. Mary-Kate as a strong personal style ( for Mr Blackwell that what he calls fashion faux-pas ) Lindsay Lohan has a classic look ( he must like it i’m surprised ) and Victoria Beckham is trendsetter. And what the hell are Beyoncé , Reese Witherspoon and Kate Middleton doing into that list. Meanwhile , i love what i said about not putting Britney in the list . For one time is in life i think he had got a good man attitude.

ACHammar

Who made this washed up wannabe the expert on fashion. Once a year he crawls out from a fossil and gets his name in the paper. Most of these people dress the way their fans want to see them. It is all a show and shouldn’t be taken seriously. THE SAME AS MR BLACKWELL!

belle

h no! i think she’s the ultimate fashion icon!!!! he’s out of his mind!!!!! atleast she has some fashion sense ….amy winehouse should have been the only one on the list!!!!

Trasur

I couldn’t agree more. Posh needs to grow up alot when it comes to fashion. She dresses like an adolesent tramp.

Sassy

I think the Olsen twins should have topped the list. I don’t ever remember seeing either of them in anything that looks even halfway flattering.
Why doesn’t everyone just leave Britney Spears alone. It’s obvious the girl has SERIOUS problems, and needs time to re-group, and heal. I don’t understand why PEOPLE magazine even had to mention that she was considered to be on the worst dressed list.

Allison T.

I love Mr. Blackwell’s quote about “fashion dreck”—I think he’s hilarious! (I also agree him on his selection of Posh to top his list!) On the other hand, I think his decision to leave Britney off this year’s list was an extremely classy one.

Suz

Posh’s clothes aren’t the problem. It’s her need to have her fake boobs up under her chin. We’ve seen them, enough already.

Mariah Carey deserved to be number one. Time for her to dress her age. Enough with your boobs too already.

Bob

It’s fortunate for Ms. Beckham that there is such a thing as bad taste or she wouldn’t have any at all.

Sheila

Posh is not very attractive. She really isn’t. I have a hard time understanding what she’s done to make her famous. She was in the Spice Girls several years ago. Ok, that didn’t last long. She has no fashion sense, she dresses like a hooker. She also seems very full of herself. I’m impressed! Yeah, right!

Macy

I agree with Lily 110%. You called it just perfect!!

Melissa

I think it all depends on who’s looking for sure. I can understand why a critic thinks the way he/she does in creating this list. The people on the best dressed list look sophisticated, well-rounded, responsible, and classy at all times. Notice, many of them are moms, have big things to think about outside of Hollywood, and work very hard to create good public opinion about themselves. The people on the worst-dressed list tend to use alternative, clashy, unsophisticated looks, unique styles, and controversial styles to say the least. It is certainly a personal choice, I don’t dress anything like either group, mostly cause I couldn’t afford to even if I wanted to. I personally don’t think Posh is the worst dressed necessarily by pure clothing choices, I just think she tends to forget she’s an adult with 3 kids and a whole lot of teenie bopper girls still looking up to her. Come on, it’s about time to start taking care of yourself and presenting yourself well for the sake of your boys if for nothing else. Seriously. And if you ask me the worse problem is the fact that we encourage these people to get away with spending thousands of dollars on ONE ITEM of clothing that they wear ONCE! And you want to tell me that any of them care about starving, impoverished, enslaved, suffering people in this world? Yea, right.

TAMMY

Mr. B you’re right on about Posh and Amy. They are way over the top. Your Best List deserves 5 Stars! Good move in sparing Ms. Spears…she needs all the compassion she can get right now.

sarah

I think it is funny that the people who made the bad list were the only ones who were actually taking a risk and having fun with fashion! hello! that is what it is all about, taking risks and loving it. I mean come on,Helen Mirren?! most of the stars on the good list take no chances and their style choices, while pretty do not wow and you can tell they just dress up because they have to, they dont’ love fashion like the people who take risks do. I love Victoria because she takes risks, she loves fashion, and it shows! which makes her so entertaining!

Nessa

I totally agree with the worst dressed list. Posh Spice has no fashion sense at all. She might as well be a prostitute in the kind of clothes that she wears. She looks like a maniquin. There’s no way that those boobs are real. You can’t have boobs look that rounded after having kids. She’s an ugly whore and needs to realize that there might be young teens that are looking up to her. I won’t allow my daughter to look up to whores!!!!

ella

posh and mary kate olsen are today’s fashion icons i totally disagree. or maybe we should all dress like hillary clinton for mr blackwell to be satisfied?

Grace

I agree. Victoria is so tiny that she needs to wear clothes that will creates curves, instead of wearing clothes that show the fact that she is so small.

Elda

It’s like off and on with her, sometimes her outfits look nice but then again some don’t. I guess it depends on her moods.

Susan-Marie

I dont agree that posh is the worst dressed, albeit she has some pretty bizaar clothes, shes a beautiful woman, Why wasnt Mariah included in the worst dressed? and what about Pam Anderson not being on the best dressed?

busyreader

Perhaps if Victoria smiled instead of using that fake frozen face, the outfits she wears wouldn’t seem so dreadful.

Julie

Mary-Kate Olsen, sure. But Nelly Oleson?

Heather

THANK YOU Mr. Blackwell!! You have finally done it — and right. Sticky Vicky thinks she is a trend setter, but all she really is – is a blend setter. Sounds cliche but she’s (& her lip-syncing) aweful.

Sorry but true. She needs to get off her high horse in fashion AND in general. She couldn’t dress in 2007 can she pull anything off in 2008 !?

Thank you !

Shay

Posh is Hot, you guys are haters.

KK

It looks like posh’s boobs are taped in water balloons

Whatup

VB is one of the most fashion forward women around. He named Katie Cruise on his best dressed list and VB is her stylist. He probably thinks all these women should be dressing like something out of a Dynasty episode. Why does a has been like Mr. Blackwell even get a say? He’s 108 years old and doesn’t know the difference between Hermes and H&M. Gimme a break!

Lynn

Victoria’s choice of attire is so dated. Sooooo 1980’s.

Dorothy

Very satisfied with the choices on the list. Posh can dress really stylish sometimes but I think to many people the skimpiness of her dresses, the always pushed up boobs and the fact that she never smiles are not appealing. I completely agree with the best dressed list-these ladies showed some serious fashion sense last year and ruled the red carpet!

Amerie

I think that Victoria has a unique sense of style i mean that’s one of the reasons for her being famous now…..besides being a singer for the spice girls. I like this outit i think it’s chic

maq

Posh is not the worst dress but her attitude and boobs look ridiculous her style is sometimes nice and she takes risks but she is often trying TOOOO HARD to look like a fashion icon that’s why she looks stupid.
And since when Angelina Jolie has a style she is always wearing black,Beyoncé looks cheap,Nicole Kidman boring and always the same outfits.
Mr. Blackwell should put himself in the bad dressed he’s an asshole who loves boring clothes.I m all about classy clothes but being original don’t hurt especially for celebrities.

Anonymous

I love poshs’ style! Her, Katie Holmes, and Reese Witherspoon are by far the BEST dressed in Hollywood. As for the Olsen twins and everyone else on the worst dressed,who cares what they dress like!! Everyone has their own syle, you shouldnt criticize people for their looks!!

Little Lady

I love poshs’ style! Her, Katie Holmes, and Reese Witherspoon are by far the BEST dressed in Hollywood. As for the Olsen twins and everyone else on the worst dressed,who cares what they dress like!! Everyone has their own syle, you shouldnt criticize people for their looks!!
LOVE YA BRITNEY, HANG IN THERE GIRL!!!

Chrisie

I agree that Victoria has made some fashion mistakes, but the majority of the time, I think she dresses awesome! I also think she’s very attractive and people need to quit attacking her!

bella

I too agree with the list and sooo happy Posh is #1. I don’t understand her appeal or popularity

Christina

Thank god he commented on her style!!! I’m sure she’s a fantastic woman, but her style is too much (or not enough at times!). All she does is dress in clothes that accentuate her disturbingly tiny waist and horrid fake-looking breasts!
Same goes for the Olsen’s, they have enough money to dress wonderfully but they always look like they’re drowning in too much fabric and poorly done hair & make-up.
But who am I to say anything – I’m just an everyday, average girl.

Kristin

I agree!

Jason

What is Mr. Blackwell, blind?

The fact that she was above Amy Winehouse at number 2 is an absolute disgrace.
Victoria once said while wearing that Chanel/Cavalli outfit to the Glamour Awards “All I care about is that Karl Lagerfeld said I’m cool — and he’s the man.”

And that is all that should matter.

Jason

In the same way bella that I can’t understand yours and other people’s resentment towards her.

Ky

Posh’s style is horrible; 5 in heels to bring your children to school?!?!? She obviously needs attention.

Katie

Posh is not the worst dressed in Hollywood. She is actually one of the best in my eyes she choosed to take risk! When was the last time she was on any worst dressed list in a magazine? O wait that would be never!

Jason

From People.com’s Fashionista of the year to Mr. Blackwells worst dressed of the year? Hmm only a true fashion icon can create such a contrast.

anni

I think that Victoria Beckham has had some INTERESTING outfits, but doesn’t deserve to be Number 1. Maybe Number 5!

valena

I think Posh has a great sense of style but just like carrie bradshaw she goes over the top sometimes but that’s just different than just plain bad fashion… And i’m pretty sure Katie Holmes looked to Posh for tips….

cd

The only reason Brit got dropped is because they don’t want her to off herself.

Jennifer

I so diagree i mean posh has a great sense of style she is unique and thats what i like about Her. i mean MR Blackwell has been known for his acid tongue ragin out on many celbrities. posh has one of the best fashion senses.

Rachel

Victoria “Posh” Beckham, is definitely NOT the worst dressed!!! In fact, she is one of the most fashionable and beautiful people in Hollywood.

Socialite Dreams

who died and made him queen? Posh always look fab to me

i think giving britney the night off to relax and have a chance to not worry so much about what she looks like and instead wishing her the best during these difficult times shows that these poles are not bias but strictly fashion if a nice thing. all the best to britney – were rooting you
thank you mr. blackwell

Jen

I hate posh and can’t stand how she brags about her wonderful marriage. You would think when everyone knows he cheated on her that she would keep her mouth shut.

elizabeth

Ok so my response to his list!

I agree with him and so many of you Posh has made an awful lot of fashion blunders over the last year. She can look amazing sometimes, the vintage Oscar de la Renta shift dress she wore during New York fashion week was amazing but at the same time what she wore to the Glamour awards(in the photo above) was hideous! Her boobs wreck most of her outfits.

Personally i kind of like Amy Winehoues’s style…it’s very unique and i think it suits her.

I love the Olsens in general and i think Mary Kate can dress really well sometimes. I do prefer ashley’s style though.

The rest of the worst dressed list is spot on. The odd time Jessica Simpson can have a nice outfit.

Regarding the best dressed list, Reese Witherspoon imo is a totally boring dresser. I never really like her clothes.

Jemima Khan always dresses emmaculately. She’s one of the most glamorous women in the world w/o a doubt and she’d definitely feature in my list.

Beyonce imo looks trashy all the time. Have any of you seen her video “red light/green light? Ugh is all i can say. She’s so tacky.

I also don’t like Nicole Kidman’s and Cate Blanchets dress sense. It just doesn’t appeal to me.

The other’s on the best dressed list dress fine but nothing spectacular. For e.g Kate Middleton is very elegant and sophisticated looking but i never see one of her outfits and feel inspired by it. It fits her purpose i suppose.

TRISH

ARE YOU ALL CRAZY OR JUST GREEN WITH ENVY
HOW COULD YOU SAY SHE IS THE WORST DRESSED???????????
YOU ALL NEED TO TAKE A GOOD LOOK AND SEE

TRISH

your all crazy

Slam

She has some cute outfits but her majority is gross. I am the sporty girl but I still have a super good taste in clothes and the dress in the picture isn’t a dress. I mean you can’t call it that. (cute shoes though) hahah

Jason

And as mr. blackwell said it was cus of britney’s personal life that victoria is there so britney would have been number 1 again had it not been for that.

laure

best dressed list = dead on

posh annoys me.

anna

Posh should NOT be on the worst-dressed list. Yes, she is too skinny and has fake boobs, but I have seen so many pics of her where she is dressed in stunning clothes, looking extremely sharp and fashionable. Her selections are not always great (like the recent neon dress) but at least she has the courage to try something new and refreshing!

Marta

I think that V.B. has great taste. She knows how to pull of that one outfit that looks terrible on anyone else. Plus, how can you people judge anyone so easily. Many of you most likely don’t even know how to properly match a t-shirt with jeans, so please keep our hatred and jealousy to yourself.

tinzy

yesss!

Leslie

Everyone seems to forget about the fabulous Allison Janney. She’s such a sweet and funny person, as well as an incredible actress. She also has an amazing sense of style, and is always fashionable and sophisticated. Please give her the credit she deserves!

LExi

absolutley not i think that posh has impecable taste. She always is put together nicely and has the classic high fashion european look. She takes fashion risks and treats the streets as a catwalk. I feel Mr.Blackwell has made a terrible mistake in placing Vistoria Beckham ( Posh spice) on the top of this list… yes i understand for men her fashion may seem odd and unflattering however to someone who truly understand seems and fashion and color she is very fashionable. Many feel Jean Paul Gauthier is terrible as well however we all know he is truly talented.

I completley disagree with Mr. Blackwells decision and feel that everyone who agrees should consider taking a socnd look, however everyone is entitiled to their own opinon.

Pamela

If we all could look so awful…She is the classic clothes hanger , every thing looks good on her …even the ugly s#$%

Melissa

People always praise Posh for being so high fashion. Hurrah for Mr. Blackwell! 90% of her outfits are just ridiculously short, and one is afraid one of those fake breasts is going to be released at any given moment. And honey, have you ever heard of smiling?

k

absolutely agree! how she seems to perceive herself and thus flaunt herself is both sad and extremely unattractive.

majestic

No.The ladies he lists have nice, classic styles that suit their body types.

What Posh does is completely different. She entertains and challenges through her extreme sensibilities, and controls her entire being in order to accomplish her vision. She’s a risk-taker, and failure comes with the territory. However, so does success. Girl snagged Becks, how bad can she be. She’s also innovative and intriguing in the way she pulls herself together. VB makes fashion a bit more interesting and you have to commend her for that. Blackwell is over. Go put a beaded dress on and crawl in your coffin you tired old queen.

Heather

I completely disagree! Victoria Beckham, Mary-Kate Olsen, and Lindsay Lohan are among my favorite to watch fashion-wise. Yeah they slip up sometimes, but it’s only because they are so trendy and actually take chances with their wardrobes. I think most of the ones on the best-dressed list, while possessing a nice, classic style, are boring!

Trasur

posh needs to dress like an adult instead of an adolesent tramp

Aida

I disagree with Mr. balckwell. I love the style of posh and for me Katie Holmes is ugly and really worst dressed. she needs posh advises.

cand

She tries to be the center of attention all he time, those revealing ugly little outfits make her look like she’s got no self respect; and all she cares about is what people think of her. You’re a mother! cover yourself a little more, leave the push up bras behid, and get a decent haircut. no offence..

why isn’t Kaite Holmes in the worst dressed as well??!

Anonymous

Nice girl! Nice dress! Mr.Blackwell is strange.

susan

I am surprised by some of his list – while I was pleased that he had the class to not further tear at the wounds afflicting Ms. Spears, I was bothered that he would bash someone like Victoria B. for not being afraid to stand outside the very small box of what he seems to consider appropriate. I think she’s an innovator in fashion and not afraid to dress in a way that’s fun and interesting. Not everything is a hit, but she always looks to be having a good time in whatever she’s wearing – isn’t that what fashion is supposed to be???

jj

i do not understand how victoria beckham, with all her proximity to the high priests of style (D&G et. al.) can believe that her breast implants are displayed best to their advantage by smashing them with too-tight tops. it looks grotesque. especially because she’s so skeletal. she needs to spend some time looking at the women who defined style in the 70s–bianca jagger, marissa berenson, lauren hutton–and see how much sexier it looks when breasts are natural and clothes aren’t so self-consciously announcing themselves.

Crystal

I agree with his list, although Victoria does have a great body,i am totally tired of seeing her breasts pushed up under her chin!!!…Just once, it would be nice not to see her cleavage!!

Lynn

Victoria is hot and stylish. Blackwell needs to crawl back in his cave. Obviously, his sense of style has passed him by. However, I see that Lilsurfer voted her as the “Best Dressed”. I’m with Lilsurfergirl!

Kristeen

I think it would be very exhausting to be Victoria Beckham.

Shari

Has the man never seen Britney Spears???

Ye

Why Katie Holmes made it the best dressed??? Her choices of fashion just make her look either older atleast twice or deranged (unhappy).

JD

To say that Victoria is the worst dressed is not only accurate but refreshing. Since she made it onto Katie Holmes BFF list she has shown up everywhere, and usually earing something totally too young for her, unbecoming and way too revealing. I hope that here kids don;t have to put up with this type of hype too muchlonger or they will be sorely damamged for life.

lola

I agree 100%, actually.

mex

oh my god…how does the woman not fall flat on her face? Are her breasts bumped with helium to keep her from keeling over?

NANAZ

WHAT??? r U ok Mr. Blackwell? you have no sense of fashion. you shall be an old man with old ideas. you are a grand pa and I do not not agree with grand pas ideas about dress and fashion. please find another job.

LauratheOlsenfan

I don’t think so that Mary-kate one of the worst dressed women is of the year!

Sry for my bad English ^^

sexy d

posh is super hot,her style is unique she dresses her a** off.

Olga

Hello Mr. Blackwell?! U’ve got to be kidding, right? I think this is just his way of attracting too much attention, u know, to shock public. It is absolutely ridiculous! Because, obviously, Posh has an impaccable style. Mister, try some other trick to attract attention to ur list:)

Audrey

It’s astounding that anyone thinks this woman is stylish. She looks like a cheap wh*re. She’s got horrible round breast implants, a skinny ass body with no curves and too much plastic surgery on her face. She looks like a tranny. She wears tight, short, ugly dresses.

Jade

Okay, this isn’t the best picture of Posh i’ve seen but every other outfit she wore this year was absolutely fabulous… She shouldn’t be put on the worst dressed list for this one outfit.. I think Britney Spears would make another replacement…

marissa

I think Mr. Blackwell is completely wrong! Some of her outfits are bad, but for the most part her look is very put together. She’s an internatinal style icon. She is the one who helped Katie Holmes with her style. I respect his choices, but I don’t agree about Posh.

Lisa

Putting Victoria on the list and leaving Britney off the list: Bye Bye Credibility, Mr. Blackwell!

Posh: You are fabulous!

Amy

I’m not so concerned with what she wears…. I don’t think this is what makes her unattractive. First and foremost, she never smiles in her pictures. I also think that if you look past her figure and her breasts, and her perfectly made up self…. she is not a very attractive women. Her nose resembles Ms. Piggy’s. I think she would be quite unattractive in the morning without anything on. Having said that, if she just smiled, she might show us an inner beauty that would make us forget that without money and hollywood, noone would look twice at her on the street.

Lee

Love Her. Think she’s a great risk taker when it comes to fashion. Completely disagree with Blackwell’s list. Number One should have been Little Miss Spears…

Adrianna

Posh has no style. She has no body to hold style on with.

She is a skeleton with fake boobs. Nothing real stylish about that.

amber maskery

I agree, its great to have a nice body and show it off, but have some class. Leave some to the imagination.

Sherry

I disagree. I think she has great style and a great body and she holds herself up with confidence. that is what more woman need to do to feel sexy. I am a victim of insecurities, but as a woman who are we to ridicule someone’s personal style. Shame on you. Way to go Posh.

Anonymous

It just proves money can’t buy class…

Janie

Man, you would think with all that money good taste would come naturally! Does she own anything that doesn’t have her fake boobies popping out!!! When you look at the Hollywood underweight gals, she is waaaaay too thin. She is so beautiful, why not leave a little to the imagination.

Washington Post

I have to agree with most of his choices – Amy Winehouse and the Olsens in particular are train wrecks – but Victoria Beckham isn’t poorly dressed, she’s avant-garde. It’s sad perhaps that she allocates so much of her time and energy to her looks, but who are we to judge someone else’s priorities?

Chris

I think Blackwell is full of crud. I think he is totally jealous…or something. Victoria might have a few off moments, but nothing to put her at the top of any worst dress list.
Personally I think Blackwell needs to retire, or get a new job!!!

Sacha

Yes, she is a horrible dresser. Strange is not the same as good.
She used to be so adorable, but since she went blond her hair looks really thin. She looks malnourished. I think if she didn’t have the big fake boobs people would start showing more concern for her health.
Anyway, she just spends a lot of money on stuff no one else would ever want to wear. Expensive is also not the same as good.

Sandy

I totally agree. I cannot stand her style, looks
and especially her personality! What Beckham
sees in her is beyond me.

Melanie

She looks like she belongs on street corner. I am sick to death of looking at her ugly face. She should go back to England where her “fans” are.

gizmo

Everyone is different and has different styles. Lay off Mr. Blackwell. Who are you to judge people on what they wear, or look like. Maybe people just want to be different.

Maggymay

I don’t think Posh is the worst out there,(Mariah Carey has NO taste what so ever) but those boobs of hers look like they’re attached to her chest with tape.

lithuanian girl

to be completely honest with you, i like victoria’s taste and style, sometimes too much but that’s ok. she could fix her boobs and everything would be even better. she is always so attentitive to the details and cuality of clothing. of course, she could stop posing all the time and act the way she acts, but style- for sure she has it!:)

sophieb

i agree the outfits she wears just look tacky and strange. She also shows to much skin and wears tops that show her boobs. she should dress more classy.

Jamie

Posh is stylish, impeccable, and one-of-a-kind. For those who doubt it, please read her tome “That Extra Half an Inch.” I love how pulled-together she always is. Yes, she takes risks, but shouldn’t we all?

Tina

This is one of the most stupid outfits I’ve ever seen. She seems so IN LOVE with HERSELF that she’s become delusional, listening to that voice in her head that’s saying “You can wear these little kids’ clothes, you can fit them and you look GOOD in them”.

jamie

I think Posh tries way too hard, and to see Katie Holmes (her BFF) making the BEST dressed list kind of cracked me up inside. Posh feel this is a conspiracy! Ah, the meaningless-ness of it all….

Erin

Nice Alison Arngrim. Nelly olsen Haha thats awesome especially because she wanted to be on the list

SoNotHollywood

People will wear what they want. Average Jill’s like you and me, we could wear the same stuff and people might look twice but it wouldn’t be in the tabloids.
Let them wear what they want. Who cares? If a monstrosity of an outfit makes them feel better, let em do it.
One persons trash is anothers treasure…

Kristena

Yes, I agree with Mr. Blackwell’s list and I think it’s nice that he left Ms. Spears alone. Posh Spice will never look good with those awful fake boobs of hers. They do not look natural and they are too big for her small body. Amy Winehouse always looks like she needs a good bath and some skin care. Mary Kate Olsen looks like an anorexic bag lady. I love it that he included Helen Mirren on the best dressed list. I hope I look as good as she does when I am her age.

Posh looks like a mosh of deck steward/first class waiter, 50’s Vegas showgirl, and a cheap dominatrix. It’s actually quite unbelievable that she managed to pull all three looks off in one outfit!

Posh is just tired looking as well as her pout lipped pose it’s old just old. Does she practice that look in the mirror. I find her expressionless face boring. I don’t think the chick has an original bone in her body.

Sharon Lattery

Why is the press afraid to comment on the ugly dresses the President’s wife wears? Particularly the one she wore the night our president was elected? She looked like she was going to a costume party -all she needed was a set of horns and a pitch fork! The press wasn’t afraid to make fun of the Clintons’ or the Carters’. Why is M. Obama off limits?

Buying off the rack doesn’t mean that you have to go around looking like you put on a sleevless sack
that’s a too tight across the booty.
