Beckham Not Posh in Blackwell's Eyes
It seems Victoria Beckham and Mr. Blackwell have opposing definitions of posh.
The fashion maven's 48th Annual Worst Dressed Women List, released Tuesday, placed the Spice Girl at number one, a dishonor that was accompanied by this biting remark: "In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty Posh can really wreck-em."
Beckham wasn't the only pop star to feel the sting of Blackwell's criticism this year.
The self-appointed top gun of the fashion police was particularly hard on the stars of the music world in his top-10 list, also calling out Amy Winehouse (number two), Fergie (number four), Kelly Clarkson (number five), Avril Lavigne (number seven) and Jessica Simpson (number eight) for their various sartorial missteps.
"Exploding beehives above…tacky polka dots below…she's part '50s carhop horror," he said of Winehouse, while suggesting Lavigne was dressed "by the house of Dracula."
Coming in at number three was Mary-Kate OIsen, whom Blackwell described as resembling "a tattered toothpick trapped in a hurricane!"
Lindsay Lohan's rehab-chic look apparently did not meet with Blackwell's approval, as the actress made the list at number nine, accused of "tak[ing] fashion to a new low."
Not that Blackwell is entirely without compassion.
Britney Spears, who topped the list the last two years and came in at number seven in 2004, was given a pass this year, as Blackwell explained he felt it was "inappropriate at this time to make comment, when her personal life is in such upheaval."
Following suit, PETA also removed Spears from its ongoing Worst Dressed Celebrity poll, stating that recent events led the organization to believe "she might not be responsible for her actions—including bad fashion choices."
Another star to fall off Blackwell's radar was Paris Hilton, who shared the top spot with Spears last year and also topped the list in 2003.
In contrast, some of the ladies to earn kudos from Blackwell for their fashion moxie included Reese Witherspoon, Angelina Jolie, Cate Blanchett, Helen Mirren, Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman.

- Victoria Beckham

- Mary-Kate Olsen
- Fergie
