Mr. Blackwell, former dress designer to the stars, has released his annual Worst Dressed list for 2007. The list appears to be targeting the emaciated Hollywood starlets as much as their clothing. Even more surprising than who's on the list, is who's not on the list. What happened to his "favorites" Britney Spears and Paris Hilton? Maybe their legal troubles have simply bumped them so far down that he didn't even bother to include them this year.

Actually, Mr. Blackwell does have a heart.

""For those of you who were expecting to see Britney's name adorn the 2007 list, I felt that it was in appropriate at this time to make comment, when her personal life is in such upheaval. I hope 2008 is a better year for her," Mr. Blackwell said (US Magazine)

Who is this Mr. Blackwell?

Richard Selzer is the man behind the name Mr. Blackwell. He has been an actor and a designer. His biggest claim to fame is the worst dressed list. This is his 48th annual list.

Mr. Blackwell 's Worst Dressed in 2007 List

#10 on Mr. Blackwell's Worst Dressed in 2007 List:
Alison Arngrim

He seems to be making a stretch here, to point out anything that Alison Arngrim is wearing. You may remember Alison Arngrim as the mean Nellie on Little House on the Prairie.

#9 on Mr. Blackwell's Worst Dressed in 2007 List:
Lindsay Lohan

Apparently Mr. Blackwell could not extend his magic wand of sympathy past Britney Spears to Lindsay Lohan, who had her own legal and rehab traumas this year. "Lohan takes fashion to a new low," Mr. Blackwell said of the former teen queen.

#8 on Mr. Blackwell's Worst Dressed in 2007 List:
Jessica Simpson

Ouch. "She's a global fashion curse!" according to Mr. Blackwell. Jessica sure had a rough year in 2007.

#7 on Mr. Blackwell's Worst Dressed in 2007 List:
Avril Lavigne


Obviously not a fan of goth or new wave, or punk or youthful rebellion against traditional ideas of beauty, the fashion guru criticized Avril Lavigne for her "fashions provided by ... The house of Dracula."

#6 on Mr. Blackwell's Worst Dressed in 2007 List:
Eva Green

Eva Green of "Casino Royale" fame appalled the fashion critic with questionable red carpet outfits, and flashes of neon.

Great list, but I don't even know who some of these people are.

I honestly didn't know he was even still around.

I don't agree with all of his picks.

Great article. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with some of these, but not all. I don't see why Jessica Simpson made the list as she always seems to be dressed nice. Great article!

Carol, he ironically he is rarely seen in public :-)

He sure has made a name by coming up with these lists and I'm glad he's left Britney alone this year. That was the decent thing to do.

Wow I would have never guessed that Victoria Beckham would be #1... I would have expected her to be #1 on the best dressed list! Interesting!

I hope he dresses impeccably after having the nerve to publicly chastise so many.
