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.

The acid-tongued critic who was designing dresses for the rich and famous when he originated the list in 1960, skewered entertainment's biggest stars in the latest compilation of fashion follies, including Fergie, Kelly Clarkson, Lindsay Lohan and Jessica Simpson.

Insisting it's all in fun to encourage fashion consciousness, Blackwell heaped venom on Beckham, his No. 1 choice on the list released Tuesday.

"Forget the fashion spice, wearing a skirt would suffice! In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty posh can really wreck-em," he said in a statement.

An e-mail message to Beckham's publicist, Cheryl Maisel, was not immediately answered.

Blackwell listed the Spice Girls as No. 1 in his 1998 worst-dressed list, deriding the group as "the only spices on the planet that have no taste."

The top 10 roll-call of fashion dishonors also included:

_No. 2. Amy Winehouse — "Exploding beehives above, tacky polka-dots below, she's part 50's carhop horror."

_No. 3. Mary Kate Olsen — "She resembles a tattered toothpick-trapped in a hurricane."

_No. 4. Fergie — "Yes, when it comes to couture chaos, guess it's all in a name!"

The rest of the top 10 list included Kelly Clarkson, Eva Green, Avril Lavigne, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan and Alison Arngrim.

Missing from the list was Britney Spears, who has made it many times before.

"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," Blackwell said.

Blackwell also released a Fabulous Fashion Independents list that included Reese Witherspoon, Jemima Khan, Beyonce, Angelina Jolie, Helen Mirren, Nicole Kidman, Katie Holmes, Kate Middleton, Katherine Heigl and Cate Blanchett.

i thought she was like no more than 40? whats wrong with dressing that way at her age? she doesnt look old.

women always get sexism that they cant dress the way they want because after 30 they are considered old this is why im so scared to age.

Victoria Beckham? 50? She's in her early 30s is she not?

honestly, if my mum walked down the street in a frock like that. well. id put myself up for adoption

tbh. I really like Posh and her fashion sense (even though I'd never wear it).

I agree about Britney. Grossness all around.

You know how when you go to the home page of KR and it gives you the "abridged" thread titles before you actually click onto them?

This one simply read "Victoria Beckham tops". As this was the gossip thread, I was praying that when I clicked onto the thread itself, the next words were going to be "David". And "strap on".

No such luck. Hmmph.....
