Sarah Jessica Parker: Flower Fiasco
Let's face it, Sarah Jessica Parker and her "Sex and the City" alter ego, Carrie Bradshaw, have become the face of modern style. Sophisticated yet daring. Label conscious but able to mix in vintage gems. However SJP wasn't born chic. As a young actress, just making her way through the land mine of red carpet couture, Sarah triggered a few fashion bombs. Among them, this head-to-toe train wreck, which included (appropriately enough) train conductor-striped denim overalls, an oversized man's jacket, overly ambitious button-and-necklace accessories, and, last but not least, the inexplicable flower-adorned hat. Shades of plants on her head at movie premiers to come... yet somehow these days it seems glamorous, while here she just looks goofy. But such is the problem with images of fashion trends past. We're sure these stars were hoping the photo negatives documenting their fashion lows had been destroyed. Luckily for us, they were not, and we can sit, with a pint of ice cream and a feeling of smug superiority in our timeless gap jeans and white t-shirts, and bask in these stars' dorkiest looks.

On Bitter Celebrity Custody Battles...ddfstop said "Children always suffer when their adults start acting like "children!" Tax Evation?? That woman is a fine role model for her daughter ... not! She should never be allowed to have any custody of their daughter because the daughter will only get bounced back to Jesse and Sandra the next time she decides to mess with the IRS. Even a genius will testify that that is not very smart ... forget being a genious. It ain't nice ta mess wit da IRS!!'Nuff said!"

Ditto what everyone else is saying. If they used worst-dressed lists made from that time period, sure, but I'm pretty sure they didn't. Use fashion mishaps that the stars did within this fashion season, and it would be a good list.

Most of these photos were shot on the set of a TV show, and they were dressed in the clothes they were given to wear for the show.

Whoever made up this list must be 20 years old. If older, the only excuse is serious head injury and loss of memory. These people looked "cool" back then.
Anybody can look like a dork in an ultramodern clothing style that is now "out".
I had a sky blue leisure suit. Talk dorky looking now!

Seriously? They are all dressed completely appropriate, 1st, for the times these were taken, and for their ages. I thought this would be cool, but instead I am very disappointed. But is that Leif Garrett behind Michael Jackson? Love, love loved him!

I thought Demi Moore, Lee Majors, and Nick Nolte looked just fine. Those guys were cool and fashionable in those days, and those clothes look a lot better than the crap I see the hollywood types and street cats wearing now. The Melissa Joan Hart, Brittney Spears and other kids shots are fine too, they were kids. What do you jerks want, everyone to run around in Versace? Losers.

Jodie Foster was 12 in this picture- what did you want her to wear? A strapless evening gown that she clearly would have been too young for? And as for Melissa Joan Hart, this clearly was taken on the set of her Disney show, so blame the wardrobe mistress, but not the child.
I'd love to see what the author of this piece was wearing 20 years ago, so we could make fun of him/her too.

BTW...The author of this article is a moron!! These were the styles back in the day!! What do you expect? One day we'll all be looking at 2009 trends and thinking, Damn, What was up with that I was wearing? Not very intelligent writers here!
