Erykah Badu

I've already heard a lot about how this girl has her own, signature style. How she's lovely and unique and all of that wonderful stuff.

However:

I'm all for standing out and not fitting in, but as a member of the fashion law-enforcement community, I can't commend her to this. Seriously. The hair! It's eating her head! There's got to be enough hair there to make at least 100 nice, respectable wigs. And the glasses. I'm pretty sure Erykah (did I spell that right?) has a lovely face underneath everything, but it's rather hard to tell. The sweater's kind of cute in a demure way, but the leggings must go. Honestly. If Lindsay Lohan can't pull them off, I'm pretty sure nobody can.

(I do strangely like the shoes, but I think that's a little off-topic.)

Hilary Duff

This outfit was almost rather cute. But I think you know what I'm going to say.


The leggings. I can live with the opaque ones, as long as they're paired with a TOP, but these feeble, sheer ones are just too much to bear. The coat is a little odd but cute, and I lust after that bag and those shoes. And the dress...I can't really comment on it because it's covered up, but from the small part I can see, it's much too short. So I'm justified in proclaiming that this outfit is a small misdemeanor. Next time, Ms. Duff, I won't let you get away with this. Go back to your classy and stylish looks of late.

Kate Bosworth

Besides finding it marginally amusing that Kate will soon star in a film titled "Laundry Warrior", which is apparently a pretty serious flick, I was confused by her outfit here.

I mean, why? Her shirt is perfectly lovely, yet she had to embellish it with those bizarre metallic bead things? And god, the sunglasses. Those are too cheap and tacky for a TODDLER, much less a sophisticated Hollywood trend-setter like Kate. I'm very disappointed, young lady...

The Nominees!

Since there weren't enough reader nominees for the worst look of 2007, I took it upon myself to choose them alone. These are put in no particular order. All of these ladies showed either too much or too little skin, the wrong colors or the wrong cuts. In any case, each of them made a serious fashion faux pas. Scroll through the nominees and then vote for your least favorite in the poll in the sidebar at the right! I'll announce the winners on Jan. 1, 2008.

1. Kate Walsh



2. Sheryl Crow



3. Courtney Love


4. Zac Efron


5. Leighton Meister


6. Thandie Newton's Headpiece


7. Rihanna

8. Rumer Willis

9. Jennifer Morrison
10. Fergie

Cate Blanchett

This hurts me. It really does.


I love Cate. I truly adore her. I think that she's a wonderful actress and one of the most elegant ladies in Hollywood. However...she can't quite pull this off.

I understand the mystical sari-esque look she was going for. But the patch of dark sequins sort of ruins it, and those clear plastic shoes make me shudder. Cate: your figure is much too lovely to be swathed in billowing heaps of fabric like this! This is a look that I would reserve for pregnant ladies only. Do you agree?

Britney Spears

I honestly feel guilty calling out Britney nowadays, what with the lost custody battle and all. But still...

...this is too bad to ignore. Both outfits, actually. I could live with the belly shirt (I can't believe I'm typing this) because, at the very least, her abs look good. Superficial, I know. But the second outfit...jeez. WE CAN SEE YOUR PRETTY RED BRIEFS, BRITNEY. That is not a dress. And the hat...oh dear, the hat. We get it: Cowboy hats and boots are her signature look. But, seriously, can't she change it up once in a while, at least?
