A note from Mr. Blackwell:

Mr. Blackwell

Welcome to my annual Merry-go-round of Fashion Fiascos - The 46th Annual Worst-Dressed Women List.  To put it mildly, it is not a pretty sight.  2005 turned out to be a particularly bad year for couture chaos, wardrobe wrecks and stylistic sleaze.  From overexposed, underdressed and over-the-top Pop Tarts to the beyond-bad Bling-Bling brigade, the fashion landscape was littered with a litany of taste-free terrors.

Best Dressed Reese Witherspoon and Kirsten Dunst

Even formerly best-dressed beauties seemed to lose their designer dazzle during the year - and the usually reliable Red Carpet showstoppers at the Oscars and the Emmys had less impact than in the tinsel-strewn past.  The result, unfortunately, had a been-there, done-that aura about it ' that left me wondering whether Hollywood's Dress-to Impress haute couture has become flat, predictable and rather forgettable.  I predict a different, far less stuffy and overproduced look for the 2006 Glamour Girls ' after all, elegant simplicity is eternal. Looking like you wore the closet is not.  And, of course, we are all secretly hoping for a Bjork appearance ' after this year, we all need a good laugh!

Best Dressed Dionne Warwick and Ginny Mancini

My choices are based purely on a wardrobe choice - these women may be fabulously talented in their respective fields, but when it comes to fashion, they resemble weary weeds in a lovely garden.  From style-challenged songbirds to an Oscar winning actress to a fashion empire Empress to a couple of "It" girls, my latest List runs the gamut from tacky to wacky without missing a beat.  Of course, other members of my fashion garden rise above the groundcover like glorious roses on a trellis - hence my FABULOUS FASHION INDEPENDENTS LIST.  These women are a welcome sight as they glow and blossom with effortless beauty and memorable style.

Best Dressed Natalie Portman and Kate Moss

So, without further ado, let's take a look (if you dare) at the 46th ANNUAL WORST-DRESSED WOMEN LIST. Please- don't let their mistakes happen to you!  After all, dressing well really is the best revenge! 

Best Dressed Carolina Herrera and Nicole Kidman

Happy 2006!

Love,
Mr. Blackwell
