The last time I read one of Mr. Blackwell's infamous "Worst Dressed" he had me rollin' with his jabbing comments towards Hollywood's elite. He has always had a way with words when it comes to degrading (and even complimenting) A-listers.

No one will ever be able to make the LOL-able critiques that he made - here are some of my personal faves:
Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham: "Forget the fashion spice, wearing a skirt would suffice! In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty posh can really wreck-em."
Madonna: “From Ghetto Glam to Rhinestone Cowgirl to Mrs. Guy Ritchie. Any way you label it, she's still just kitschy, kitschy, kitschy.”
Bjork: “She dances in the dark — and dresses there, too.”
Martha Stewart: “She dresses like the centrefold for the Farmer's Almanac.”
Mariah Carey: “Shrink-wrapped cheesecake.”
Amy Winehouse: Exploding beehives above, tacky polka-dots below, she’s part ’50s carhop horror.”
Mary-Kate Olsen: ”She resembles a tattered toothpick—trapped in a hurricane.”
Fergie: ”Yes, when it comes to couture chaos, guess it’s all in a name!”
Ah...Mr. Blackwell, you will be missed.
