Calling her a victim of "Couture Chaos," fashion guru Mr. Blackwell on Tuesday named Britney Spears the worst dressed star of 2005. "From the 'Princess of Pop' to the ultimate 'Fashion Flop,'" sneers Blackwell of Spears, claiming the new mom "looks like an over-the-hill Lolita."

But Spears isn't the only celeb to be skewered by Blackwell, the former designer whose scathing "Worst Dressed" lists have been tweaking the noses of Hollywood goddesses for the past 46 years. (Paris Hilton's great-aunt, Zsa Zsa Gabor, got so tired of making Blackwell's list that she once broke down and hired him to design a gown for her).

Also receiving his disapproval, in rankings from 2 to 10, accompanied by his usual sarcasm, often set to rhyme are:

• Mary Kate Olsen: "In bag lady rags that look depressingly decayed – forget the 'accessories' and buy some Raid."
• Jessica Simpson: "It's time to sack the stylist and divorce the designer … she resembles a cut-rate Rapunzel slingin' hash in a Vegas diner."
• Eva Longoria: "Gorgeous face, garish taste ... what a waste."
• Mariah Carey: "The world applauds your musical emancipation ... but please – leave that body to our imagination."
• Paris Hilton: The Burger Queen Sensation may be very rich – but she still looks like yesterday's cheesecake ... with a side of kitsch."
• Anna Nicole Smith: "Queen Kong."
• Shakira: "Coiffure by Medusa ... clothes by the Marquis De Sade."
• Lindsay Lohan: "The Teen Scream defines 'Fashion Fright' – looks like she's aged 30 years overnight."
• Renee Zellweger: "Runs the gamut from Kewpi Doll Dreck to Red Carpet Wreck … she looks like a painted pumpkin – on a pogo stick."

Hollywood's best dressed have not gone unnoticed by Blackwell. Among those anointed his Fabulous Fashion Independents of 2005: Reese Witherspoon, Kirsten Dunst, Kathy Hilton, Dionne Warwick, Nicole Kidman, Carolina Herrera, Scarlett Johansson, Kate Moss, Natalie Portman and even the widow of "Moon River" composer Henry Mancini, Ginny Mancini.
