Los Angeles: Called "style-free and fashion deprived," Britney Spears and Paris Hilton has tied for the Number 1 spot on Mr Blackwell's 47th annual "Worst Dressed" list.
"Two peas in an overexposed pod," Blackwell said on Tuesday, of the skimpy attire worn by the two celebutantes he called the "Screamgirls."
Some of his nastiest words were reserved for Camilla Parker-Bowles, a member of the British royal family who finished Number 2.
"The Duchess of Dowdy strikes again," wrote Blackwell. "In feathered hats that were once the rage, she resembles a petrified parakeet from the Jurassic age. A royal wreck."
Blackwell, no longer an active designer but still an acid-tongued critic of celebrity fashion, aimed his poison pen at Hollywood, with young entertainers dominating the list.
At Number 3 was actress Lindsay Lohan, scolded by Blackwell for turning "from adorable to deplorable."
Others in Blackwell's fashion hall of shame were singer Christina Aguilera. He called her a "dazzling singer" but added she "puts good taste through the wardrobe wringer. All crass and no class."
He referred to Mariah Carey as "Mariah the fashion pariah ... the queen of catastrophic kitsch," and "American Idol" judge Paula Abdul as "a fallen fashion idol."
He said actress Sharon Stone resembles "an over-the-hill Cruella DeVille," and Tori Spelling embodies "down and out in Beverly Hills."
