RIP

Mr. Blackwell, the acerbic designer whose annual worst-dressed list skewered the fashion felonies of celebrities from Zsa Zsa Gabor to Britney Spears, has died. He was 86. Here are some of his famous comments: Madonna: "The Bare-Bottomed Bore of Babylon.", Barbra Streisand: "She looks like a masculine Bride of Frankenstein.", Christina Aguilera: "A dazzling singer who puts good taste through the wardrobe wringer.", Meryl Streep: "She looks like a gypsy abandoned by a caravan.", Sharon Stone: "An over-the-hill Cruella DeVille.", Lindsay Lohan: "From adorable to deplorable.", Ann Margret: "A Hells Angel escapee who invaded the Ziegfeld Follies on a rainy night.", Camilla Parker-Bowles: "The Duchess of Dowdy.", Spears: "Her bra-topped collection of Madonna rejects are pure fashion overkill."
