The decision as to who was the absolute worst dressed in 2006 for Mr Blackwell's infamous 'Worst Dressed List' was such a difficult one that Mr Blackwell had to bestow the honour equally upon two young ladies – Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. This seems fair considering the amount of time the duo have spent together of late in various states of dress (not to mention undress). Mr Blackwell’s comment on the two? "two peas in an over-exposed pod! Style-free and fashion deprived."

The remaining nine, in descending order are Camilla Parker-Bowles, the “Duchess of Dowdy,” Lindsay Lohan, Christina Aguilera “All crass and no class,” Mariah Carey, Paula Abdul “fallen fashion idol.”, Sharon Stone, Tori Spelling, Sandra Oh and Meryl Streep "Her beauty of a career cannot be denied, but that beast of a wardrobe is pure mother of the bride".

While you wonder how these celebs could get it so wrong, with access to the world’s best stylists and latest fashion at their fingertips, Paris, Britney et all we thank you, for it’s almost as entertaining to see those without any fashion sense as to daydream after the outfits worn by those who have 'it'.

Mr Blackwell wasn’t all bad news though, he posted a list complimenting ten women on their fashion skills (some of which have been mentioned on his worst dressed list in past years). This list included Kate Winslet, Angelina Jolie, Helen Mirren, Barbara Streisand, Beyoncé, Nancy Pelosi, Princess Charlotte of Monaco, Heidi Klum, Katie Holmes and Marcia Cross.
