People en Español have come out with their “Best & Worst Dressed” issue and, mericful heaves, are there some heinous outfits showcased therein. But these kind of lists always make us wonder who, really, has the authority to deem an outfit wonderful or terrible. After all, so many of the women wrapped in “The Worst” outfits have accessorized their look with confident smiles and fun poses. They really look comfortable and like they’re enjoying themselves immensely. And, true, we really hate it when people have a good time. But we’ve got to give credit where it’s due and say that, maybe, the most terrible sort of outfit is the one that makes you feel ugly.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of this year’s sartorial winners and/or losers:

Alejandra Guzman, she with the presumably psychotic sapphic daughter, can always be counted on to liven up a red carpet. And, really, her dress isn’t so much “terrible” as it is ill-conceived and ill-fitting We don’t love it or hate it, but we’re not sure our opinion matters much to Alejandra. And that’s kind of why we love her.

Putting Britney Spears on any sort of ‘Worst Dressed List” is pretty much par for the course at this point. But, to be fair, at least when she’s in a wrinkled, polyester mess of a dress from Forever 21, we can’t know whether or not she’s wearing underwear. Good on ya, Brit.

Whatever, say what you will, but we think Niurka Marcos’ rhinestone showgirl costume is totally hot. But that might be because we spent a good chunk of our childhood watching figure skating and pining for a Bob Mackie Barbie. So, for us, any dress that doesn’t include a matching headdress is “subtle.”

We hadn’t heard of Argentine talk show host Javier Ceriani before, so we just mistakenly chalked him up as a long-lost extra from an Aqua video.

We think you can guess why it’s ironic that singer Elvis Crespo is dressed like a bottle of Pepto-Bismol.
