Jaime Winstone at Cirque du Soleil - StyleFoul!

Filed under: Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

Friend of Lily Allen, sometimes model and "actress" Jaime Winstone failed to get the memo on fur -- that it's out of style, that Tim Gunn thinks it's rude, and most importantly, if you must wear it, at least match your pelts. Never wear squirrel (the hat) and albino ferret (the coat) together!

The Top 10 Worst Dressed Stars of 2008

    10. Maria Sharapova

    Everyone wants the super-hot tennis starlet modeling their clothes and advertising their product -- so much so that Maria was the highest-paid female athlete in the world last year. So...why can't she buy a decent outfit?

    9. Paris Hilton

    Paris is perfectly capable of looking cute -- so it's shameful that she spends so much time dressed like a tacky transvestite...or a disco ball.

    8. Miley Cyrus

    Note to teenage girls everywhere: You do not look older when you cake on foundation overdo the blue eyeshadow -- you look like a teenager wearing too much makeup. So Miley, quit wasting time texting naughty photos to your indiscreet boy toys, and spend that time paying attention to your stylist.

    7. Mariah Carey

    Admittedly this outfit was cool -- when Mariah was 28...10 years ago. But no matter how amazing her body looks, at nearly 40-years-old the Queen of Pop needs to stop dressing like a tween.

    6. Heidi Montag

    Speidi's less-attractive half makes the list partly because she dresses like a garish fashion goblin, but also because she's obnoxious.

    5. Aubrey O'Day

    Now that Aubrey's been ousted from Danity Kane, maybe we'll see less of her bra-less, thrift-store foul-ups on the red carpet. Because seriously, is that a table cloth wrapped around her waste? And we can see your nipples!

    4. Mischa Barton

    Remember when Mischa was an OC superstar and an up-and-coming fashion designer? We loved her then, too! But it's been a sad, sad fall from grace for the former Hollywood hottie. Oh, Mischa. No one likes this faux-hippie, woodland fairy look you've been forcing on us the past twelve months. Please let it go.

    3. Paula Abdul

    Like so many of the stars on this year's list, it's not just that they've been dressing like weirdos (or, Paula's case, like 19th-century English brigadier generals), but that they should know better! We're not talking about Tila Tequila-style MySpace celebrities -- these are bona fide A-listers with millions of dollars to spend on make-up artists, stylists, and fancy designer threads. So how can they leave the house like this?

    2. Solange Knowles

    Less famous, less talented, and starved for attention. Ah, yes. The classic little sister syndrome strikes again -- and if Solange's freakish fashion forays are any indication, she's getting desperate for Beyonce-style stardom.

    1. Madonna

    Madge's unfortunate attempts to reclaim her fashion bravado often left us stunned -- but not in a good way. Maybe the Material Girl wanted to prove she wasn't Earth Mama Jolie just because she likes adopting foreign children, or that she's not really the boring English housewife Guy Ritchie made her out to be -- but regardless, Madonna spent 2008 trying way too hard, and wound up looking insincere, out of touch, or just absurd.

Ms. Winstone has little-to-no fear of the dread moniker "quirky" -- and sometimes she even makes it work for her. For an example, in the gallery see the fantastic red lace party dress (accessorized by half naked men, always a "do") she wore to the Sex in the City premiere. Bright! Feminine! Requires aplomb! Well done!

Then there are the bad times, also in the gallery. The plaid pants nightmare. The white shirt as a dress failure. And the bow that started it all, by eating the fashion sense part of her brain.

Perhaps a rest cure, and a little time away from Ms. Allen, who is similarly hit or miss in her sartorial displays, can help Ms. Winstone recover from this carnie-folk StyleFoul!
