Worst Dressed list - Lista das Piores vestidas

OUCH! Mr Blackwell's annual Best and Worst Dressed list is addictively, almost shockingly unkind, and this year's version is no different.
"From overexposed, underdressed and over-the-top Pop Tarts to the beyond-bad bling-blind brigade, the fashion landscape was littered with a litany of taste-free terrors," the famously direct style commentator said, before singling out 23-year-old Britney Spears as 2005's worst fashion criminal: "When it comes to couture chaos, this tacky terror should take a bow – looks like an over-the-hill Lolita. From the princess of pop to the ultimate fashion flop."
Next up was Mary Kate Olsen: "In bag lady rags that look depressingly decayed – forget the accessories and buy some Raid." The top ten of sartorially challenged stars included Jessica Simpson, Eva Longoria, Mariah Carey, Paris Hilton, regular Blackwell-lister Anna Nicole Smith ("Queen Kong in cheap lingerie"), Shakira, Lindsay Lohan and Renee Zellweger (see the full extent of their low fashion grades below), while Fabulous Fashion Independents of 2005 included:

Reese Witherspoon, Kirsten Dunst, Kathy Hilton, Dionne Warwick, Ginny Mancini, Nicole Kidman, Caroline Herrera, Scarlett Johansson, Kate Moss and Natalie Portman. "These women are a welcome sight as they glow and blossom with effortless beauty and memorable style," says Blackwell.
