Victoria Beckham tops Mr. Blackwell’s Best Worst Dressed List -2007

LOS ANGELES — A decade after singling out the Spice Girls as fashion atrocities, Mr. Blackwell put just one of them — Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham — at the top of his 48th annual worst-dressed list.

Victoria Beckham was name may be considered a style icon by some, but her fashion sense was certainly not right for Mr Blackwell, for she topped his Worst Dressed list.

Mr Blackwell, who has been publishing his list of the best and worst dressed for the past 48 years, said that Posh manages to wreck every outfit she wears.

“Forget the fashion spice - wearing a skirt would suffice! In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty posh can really wreck-em,” Usmagazine.com quoted him, as stating.

Well, what can you say about it? Does Posh really deserve to be on top of the worst-dressed list?

Well anyway, here's the Top 10 Mr. Blackwell's 48th Annual Worst-Dressed LIST

10.) Alison Arngrim: “Little Nellie of the prairie, looks like a 1940’s fashion editor for the Farmers Almanac.”

9.) Lindsay Lohan: “Lindsay the fashion frenzy strikes again! Lohan takes fashion to a new low.”

8.) Jessica Simpson: “Forget the Cowboys. In prom queen screams, can it get any worse? She’s a global fashion curse!”

7.) Avril Lavigne: “Gothic make-up courtesy the mad spatula-Fashions provided by.. The house of Dracula!”

6.) Eva Green: “Stuck in neon nightmares not fit for the sane. Fashion this loud could give Bond a migraine! A profusion of confusion from toes to nose!”

5.) Kelly Clarkson: “Her heavenly voice soars above the rest… but those belly-baring bombs are hellish at best! She may be the queen of ‘Pro-Active’ – but that wardrobe looks downright radioactive!”

4.) Fergie: “Another style-free ‘Fergie’ in fashion’s hall of shame? Yes, when it comes to couture chaos, guess it’s all in a name!”

3.) Mary Kate Olsen: “YIKES! In layers of cut-rate kitsch, Mary Kate’s look is hard to explain… she resembles a tattered toothpick-trapped in a hurricane!” (Ed. note: If Mary-Kate warrants all-caps, then I’m quite certain she also warrants the top position. Rules are rules!)

2.) Amy Winehouse: “Exploding beehives above…tacky polka-dots below… she’s part 50’s car-hop horror.”

1.) Victoria Beckham: “Forget the fashion spice - wearing a skirt would suffice! In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty posh can really wreck-em.”

10 Things every Woman Should Have in Their Closet

Every woman should know that there are things that you just cannot live without; like clothes and shoes and purses and many more things. But there are also things that your closet should not be without as well. Here are the top ten things your closet should definitely have.


1. The Little Black Dress is such a fashion must, that many French women base their wardrobes around that one garment. That makes sense: it's the one dress that fits perfectly every time and can go anywhere with the right accessories.



2. A pair of Skinny Jeans. A lot of people don’t like skinny jeans because they make you look shorter (which is true), but you also have to know how to wear them. So if you’re not very tall, and you want a little height, add a pair of high-heels to the combo and you’ll look stunning!

3.T-shirts- Black, white, and a fun color. Perfect for layering as well as wearing alone, these shirts help stretch your closet way beyond its limits. A sexy white tank-top. Everyone’s got their favorite tank, so make sure you stack up on the colors because not only are they cheap, but they’re also very versatile.


4.Pair of close-toe black heels or pumps. Your close-toed black heels will not only make your three piece suit extra professional, but can also meet up with most of your dressy wardrobe items in a fashionable expression of understated style.



5.Lots of accessories! Ok, so maybe you don’t keep accessories in the closet, but you know very well how huge of a difference they can make to your wardrobe. Bangles, pearl necklaces and scarves are all necessary for a successful outfit. Jewelry you love Simple but striking, jewelry can give everyday basics new life. Finish off any look, for example, with a pair of simple gold hoops, or opt for a large, chunky necklace (and skip the earrings altogether); either of these will instantly add glamour.


6.A Great Coat. A stylish coat goes a long way - you can wear it to work, you can wear it to parties, you can wear it on top of the little black dress to the opera or theater.

7 A Pushed-Up bra. You need at least five of these (or one for every day of the week that you work out). Replace them every year--otherwise stretched-out fabric won't give you the support and figure flattery you need for a smooth, jiggle-free silhouette. Pick fun colors if you don't plan to wear a T-shirt over it.


8. Bathing suit you feel great in (nothing too sexy). There are many things more wonderful than a bathing suit you feel great in. Your bathing suit has the power to infuse you with confidence or make you slink around under a towel. Like shoes, whatever it costs is worth it: if you spend any time at all in or near the water, you must have a bathing suit you feel great in.

9. A scarf. It's a piece that can add instant style impact to a suit or a crisp white shirt. Pick one in a bold color or vivid pattern; tie it onto your neck or purse handle, or twist it and wear it as a simple, but vibrant, belt.


10 A big bag. If there is one thing your closet cannot miss out on, is a big, accentuated bag, and everyone’s got their favorites!
