Fashion Good News, Bad News: Mr. Blackwell's List Has A Surprising Kindness

Gossip


Mr. Blackwell's annual worst-dressed list was released today. He's been doing his snarky little recital, with a humor and delivery that have grown a bit dated, for almost fifty years. He is the best at what he does ... whatever exactly that is.


I was pleasantly surprised earlier today when I heard the news (oh, boy) about this year's Rockwell's winners and losers. Wow, I thought. He's still around? Indeed he is, and his eye and wit are every bit as sharp as they were when I first saw him on a 70s talk show. Back then, if you made Rockwell's worst-dressed list you were socially doomed; it was a very big deal. Imagine the pressure: the wrong dress and/or shoes, a minor wardrobe malfunction (a fallen hem or lost button), a stain or spill, could affect your entire future. Like forever.

Mr. Rockwell's eye for style tends to run toward the classic, so it's no surprise that he chose stars like Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes as best dressed, while his worst-dressed list is crowded by edgier stars like Avril Lavigne, Lindsay Lohan and the creepy Eva Green. He also included Posh on the worst-dressed list, a choice I have to vehemently disagree with. Victoria and her husband are one of the hottest couples around, and that's her influence, not a stylist. You might not agree with the style, but she knows how to work a look.

Oh, and the kindness we mentioned above? Mr. Rockwell left last year's defending champion out of the race this year. Figuring she could use a break, he left Britney Spears off his list this year. It might not have been from the bottom of his heart, though. I'm sure he's been coached on what to say and when, knowing that the mere mention of her name would give his Google-ness a nice spike, however brief.
