Music Represented On 'Worst-Dressed' List

Remember when Mr. Blackwell ripped the worst-dressed celebrities and celebrated the best-dressed style setters?

According to the Orlando Sentinel's media writer Hal Boedeker, Roger Stone is carrying on the tradition, and he bashes with a tart snarkiness that Mr. Blackwell would have admired.

Politicians top Stone's list, but media figures make it too.

Topping the worst-dressed list for 2014 was Hillary Clinton. Stone observes that she "has no taste in clothing and no idea whatsoever what she looks good in." Wear darker colors, Stone advises.

Stone also goes after Rand Paul, like Clinton a possible presidential candidate in 2016. Stone complains that the Kentucky senator "dresses like a college student" and dismisses Paul's hair gel as "ghastly."

Yet Stone sounds most distressed by Madonna, says the Material Girl has lost it and complains that a dental grille made her look like a ghoul. Bad, Madge, bad.

Other fashion washouts, in Stone's estimation, are Kanye West, celebrity chef Guy Fieri, Bono, Kesha and Taylor Swift ("a style train wreck" who "dresses like she got everything as a TJ Maxx 30 percent off sale").

Of course, that could inspire the "Shake It Off" songwriter to dash off another ditty. Then we'll have another song stuck in our head. And that would be another win for Swift.
