Britney Spears
got a mention at the top of one list Tuesday — Mr. Blackwell's
annual ranking of the year's worst fashion offenders. The
self-imposed arbiter of style — and self-styled poet — lumped
Britney and Paris Hilton together as the "Screamgirls,"
noting that the "style-free and fashion-deprived" women are "two
peas in an over-exposed pod." Ranking at #3 on the worst-
dressed lineup is
Lindsay Lohan, who went from "adorable to deplorable" in
Blackwell's estimation. Mariah Carey and Meryl Streep
(huh?) also made the dishonorable cut, while Blackwell named Kate
Winslet, Angelina Jolie and "The Queen" star Helen
Mirren "Fabulous Fashion Independents for 2006" — and spared
them his creatively worded putdowns.
