      Nombroses revistes i certs dissenyadors elaboren periòdicament llistes amb els famosos més mal vestits. Un dels exemples més coneguts era el de l'analista Richard Blackwell (mort a l'octubre de 2008), que cada any ordenava les principals celebritats amb un mal gust manifest. Personatges com la cantant Britney Spears, les germanes Simpson (dos dels especímens més estrambòtics de la faràndula internacional) o la rockera Courtney Love (la vídua de la icona grunge Kurt Cobain) n'eren habituals.
