Joan Collins slams Kate Winslet's style

Joan Collins has criticised the dress sense of several female stars, including Kate Winslet, Adele and Carey Mulligan, but praised the fashion choices of Victoria Beckham.

Joan Collins has blasted Kate Winslet's "awful" hair and "dreadful" dress sense.

The 78-year-old actress is stunned by the Oscar winner's disappointing outfit choices and slammed her "ghastly" accessorising at the recent Venice Film Festival.

When shown a picture of the 'Reader' star, Joan - who is famous for her glamorous look - said: "Oh, that's a dreadful dress. The worst dress. And ghastly shoes and an awful hairstyle. I'm sorry."

As well as being critical of Kate, Joan also blasted singer Adele, Gwyneth Paltrow - who recently described her late grandmother as a "****" - and admitted she is unhappy that 'An Education' star Carey Mulligan is to star in a forthcoming production of 'My Fair Lady'.

She told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "Is [Gwyneth] the one who called her grandmother a rude word on air? I thought that was pretty shocking.

"I don't want to comment on Carey Mulligan. I can't believe she's playing Eliza Doolittle in a new movie.

"Adele is a very good singer, very, very talented, but she has a terrible hairpiece."

Despite her fashion criticisms of so many famous British women, there is one UK star who Joan is a fan of - former Spice Girls singer-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham.

She said: "Oh I love Victoria Beckham. You've finally found someone I like."
