Britney Bottoms Out with Blackwell

In the eyes of Mr. Blackwell, Britney Spears was one big oops fashion-wise in 2005.

Maternity wear or not, the popster and her year's worth of fashion foibles topped the veteran style watcher's 46th Annual Worst Dressed Women list, released Tuesday.

"When it comes to Couture Chaos, this Tacky Terror should take a bow," Blackwell bitched in his typically tortured, strangely punctuated couplets. "From the 'Princess of Pop' to the ultimate 'Fashion Flop!' "

K-Fed's better half has been a regular Blackwell target. She was seventh on last year's rundown of the sartorially challenged.

Coming in at number two on the fashion-basher's don't list was Mary-Kate Olsen, who was dinged for "Bag Lady rags that look depressingly decayed--forget the 'accessories' and buy some Raid!"

Aside from Spears, several other repeat offenders were once again dissed by Blackwell, including recent divorcée Jessica Simpson ("It's time to sack the stylist and divorce the 'designer,' she resembles a cut-rate Rapunzel--slingin' hash in a Vegas diner!"), Anna Nicole Smith ("Her Supreme Court battle proves every fashion 'dog' has their day--unless she's mistaken for 'Queen Kong'") and Paris Hilton ("Hot? I think not!").

Eva Longoria was the only Wisteria Lane denizen to make the list of undesirables this year, thanks to her "garish taste." Her Desperate Housewives cohort Nicollette Sheridan, who topped the worst-dressed list last year, managed to escape this time around.

Blackwell apparently took no pity and spared no puns for some of the year's tabloid fixtures.

Fresh off revelations of drug use and an eating disorder, Lindsay Lohan was deemed a "Fashion Fright," while singleton once more Renée Zellweger also took a verbal beating.

"Renée runs the gamut from Kewpi Doll Dreck to Red Carpet Wreck--Just take your pick," Blackwell bleated. "She looks like a painted pumpkin--on a pogo stick!"

Mariah Carey's big comeback year didn't go unnoticed, or unremaked upon, by Blackwell.

"Fashion's Hari-Carey Strikes Again!" Blackwell "quipped." "The world applauds your musical emancipation, but please--leave that body to our imagination!"

Also getting the thumbs down was Shakira, whom Blackwell declared "hopeless."

Lest he be deemed to mean, Blackwell again issued his disclaimer that his zingers only apply to the dissees fashion sense, not their careers or personal lives. He also had some nice things to say.

In addition to his top 10 fashion disasters, Blackwell also named his rhyme-free Fabulous Fashion Independents of 2005. Oscar hopeful Reese Witherspoon headed the list, along with Kirsten Dunst, Scarlett Johnasson, Kate Moss, Natalie Portman and the perennial Nicole Kidman. Also making the cut were Paris mama Kathy Hilton, designer Carolina Herrera, Dionne Warwick and Hollywood fundraiser (and ex-Henry Mancini wife) Ginny Mancini.
