We’re approaching that season again, Academy Awards, Golden Globes, Glam Celebrity Award Winners, Rear of the Year Awards etc. etc. etc! But what we really love to see is our ‘favourite’ celebs being awarded the ‘not so sought after awards’ as offered by Mr Richard Blackwell.
Mr Blackwell has been observing the ‘casually’ dressed celebrities since 1960 and has turned his awards into a much anticipated annual event.
Although 2007 was an ‘annus horribilis’ for Britney Spears, Blackwell was gracious enough to leave her out of his awards saying, “I felt that it was inappropriate at this time to make comment, when her personal life is in such upheaval. I hope 2008 is a better year for her.”
But his magnanimity was all spent when he selected Victoria Beckham as the winner of his ‘worst dressed celebrity’ of 2007 award.
For someone known to never pass a reflective surface without pouting at herself and stopping to apply a 6 inch coating of lip gloss, Victoria Beckham certainly doesn’t concentrate on anything below the chin line according to Blackwell.
With many of the fashion wearing disasters hanging out in packs these days, Mr Blackwell’s job has become increasingly easier of late, and with the obvious ‘classless’ moments caught so often on film, i.e., an underwear-less Britney or Paris the job must be almost enjoyable for such an old goat!
The dedicated follower of fashionless divas has also named a select group of famous, less than flawless celebrities who need a trip to a make over morning show on HBO or TBS or whatever!
He sites Britney Spears and Paris Hilton “Two peas in an over-exposed pod.” How hard is it to look great when you’re gorgeous, blonde and rich?
Camilla Parker-Bowles is labeled “Duchess of Dowdy,”
Lindsay Lohan as the perpetual teenyboppers.
Christina Aguilera “All crass and no class.”
Mariah Carey loses points for ill-fitting garments and frumpy ‘dos an calls he the fashion pariah.
Paula Abdul the” fallen fashion idol.”
Sharon Stone he likened her to Cruella deVille.
Tori Spelling, refers to her style as “Down and Out in Beverly Hills.”
Sandra Oh “layered lunacy’ in a Vera Wang dress.
Meryl Streep very “mother-of-the-bride” when she could be more “The Devil Wears Prada.”
Blackwell does see some good in the fashion wearing celebs of Hollywood naming his top ten of best dressed females as, Reese Witherspoon, Jemima Khan, Beyonce, Angelina Jolie, Helen Mirren, Nicole Kidman, Katie Holmes, Kate Middleton, Katherine Heigl and Cate Blanchett.
