A decade after singling out the Spice Girls as fashion atrocities, Mr. Blackwell put just one of them - Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham - at the top of his 48th annual worst-dressed list.
The acid-tongued critic who was designing dresses for the rich and famous when he originated the list in 1960, skewered entertainment’s biggest stars in the latest compilation of fashion follies.
Insisting it’s all in fun to encourage fashion consciousness, Blackwell heaped venom on Beckham, his No. 1 choice on the list released Tuesday.
“Forget the fashion spice, wearing a skirt would suffice! In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty posh can really wreck-em,” he said in a statement.
An e-mail message to Beckham’s publicist, Cheryl Maisel, was not immediately answered.
Blackwell listed the Spice Girls as No. 1 in his 1998 worst-dressed list, deriding the group as “the only spices on the planet that have no taste.”
The top 10 roll-call of fashion dishonors also included:
No. 2. Amy Winehouse - “Exploding beehives above, tacky polka-dots below, she’s part 50’s carhop horror.”
No. 3. Mary Kate Olsen - “She resembles a tattered toothpick-trapped in a hurricane.”
No. 4. Fergie - “Yes, when it comes to couture chaos, guess it’s all in a name!”
No. 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!”
The rest of the top 10 list included Eva Green, Avril Lavigne, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan and Alison Arngrim.
