Paris and Britney named Worst Dressed Women

Paris Hilton and Britney Spears have been named joint Worst Dressed Women of 2006. The partying pals have been dubbed the Screamgirls by retired designer Richard Blackwell who named them the worst style offenders of the past year. Blackwell, who was a fashion designer for more than 30 years and one of the top Los Angeles designers in the 60s, said, "Paris and Britney are two peas in an overexposed pod. They are both style-free and fashion deprived. The screamgirls have arrived!" The self-appointed fashion police officer has also launched a scathing attack on a host of other celebrities. In his 47th annual list, Blackwell places Lindsay Lohan at number three, claiming the actress is "tragically trapped in fashion's fast lane. She has gone from adorable to deplorable". Despite her recent makeover, Christina Aguilera failed to impress Blackwell, who said of the fourth placed star, "La Diva Christina is a fabulous singer, but she puts good taste through the wardrobe wringer! All crass, no class."
