PETA names Paris Hilton worst-dressed of 2005
NEW YORK - Move over Mr. Blackwell, PETA has issued its own "worst-dressed" list - based on fur, not style.
Paris Hilton was named the year's worst-dressed celebrity by the animal rights group Thursday. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals cites the hotel heiress/reality TV star for wearing fur coats.
Hilton is followed on the 2005 worst-dressed list by Kimberly Stewart, Lisa Gastineau, Victoria Gotti and Tara Reid. Martha Stewart headed last year's list, but has recently reversed course. In September, the domestic diva hosted a PETA-produced video on fur and said, "I used to wear real fur, but, like many others, I had a change of heart when I learned what actually happens to the animals."
Alicia Keys and Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham, both previously accused by PETA, have also since said they've given up fur.
