Britney Spears: Fashion Disaster

According to Mr. Blackwell, Hollywood's self-appointed fashion czar for the last 41 years, the bubble-gum popster was the worst dressed woman of 2000.

"Her bra-topped collection of Madonna rejects are pure fashion overkill. Relax, help is on the way!" the former dress designer dished in his 41st "worst-of" countdown of celebrity fashion victims. Spears was the only holdover from Blackwell's list last year.

Also making the dishonor roll for Y2K: Britney rival Christina Aguilera. "Is she a boring and body-baring bungle--or just auditioning for Sheena, Queen of the Jungle?"

For singer-turned-actress Björk, Mr. Blackwell thought she must have been dressing, not dancing, in the dark. "Looks like a fractured fashion fairy tale," he says. "Let's dub her Alice in Blunderland!"

Never one to be left off a top 10 list, Madonna earned Mr. Blackwell's wrath for her chameleonic ways. "From Ghetto Glam to Rhinestone Cowgirl to Mrs. Guy Ritchie. Any way you label it, she's still just kitschy, kitschy, kitschy!"

Of Mariah Carey ("her X-rated Baby Doll disasters are laughably low-rent"), Mr. Blackwell could only wonder if her designer was Larry Flynt?

Blackwell also thinks advice queen Dr. Laura Schlesinger could use some advice herself. "When it comes down to fashion horror, no one does it better than Dr. Laura. A turtlenecked Terror!"

Other notables Blackwell bagged on for their sartorial crimes: Angelina Jolie ("Fashion interrupted. Hit by a Gen-X gothic hex!"), Elizabeth Hurley ("Poor Liz: Her barely there fashion bombs have hit a sour note--a word of advice, buy a coat!"), Courtney Love ("When push comes to shove, no one's fashion is tackier and wackier then punky, funky love!") and Florida's math-challenged Secretary of State Katherine Harris ("The pretty, brassy lassie from Tallahassee needs cosmetic direction--her paint-by-numbers make-up screams out for discretion! A recount please!").

Lest you think Mr. Blackwell mightn't have anything nice to say, he points to the 10 best-dressed women of the year. The "fabulous fashion independents" are Juliette Binoche, Halle Berry, Charlize Theron, Faith Hill, Liz Smith, Gwyneth Paltrow, Heather Locklear, Ashley Judd, Winona Ryder and Queen Rania of Jordan.
