Mr Blackwell – first name Richard – is best known for the best- and worst-dressed lists he releases each January. The New York native has also written an autobiography, From Rags to B*****s.

The critic has repeatedly lashed out at Paris Hilton, but Victoria Beckham topped his worst list for 2008, with Amy Winehouse and Mary-Kate Olsen close behind.
