We all know who won the best-dressed award at Friday's royal wedding (Kate Middleton, natch), but which guest was the biggest fashion disappointment?

No, it wasn't one of Prince Andrew and Fergie's daughters (those crazy hats!). According to Entertainment Tonight fashion guru Steven Cojocaru (aka "Cojo"), the worst-dressed honors go to the usually impeccably attired Victoria Beckham.

"She looked like an extra in Twilight," Cojo tells Us Weekly of Beckham's self-designed navy dress and Philip Treacy topper. "She looked like an old widow in mourning attire. The headgear was less a hat, and more of a giant hockey puck glued to her noggin. And the ponytail was too casual and cutesy for such a formal important event."

Ouch! But Cojo had kinder words for her hubby David Beckham. "He looked so dashing and sharp. He really is Prince Charming."

The 35-year-old soccer star wore a suit by Ralph Lauren Purple Lable with personalized "DB" sterling silver cufflinks.

David wasn't afraid to gush about the nuptials in a recent Facebook video message. "It really is amazing. Our country needs it. Our country wants it. The British public love the royal family.'

Victoria, meanwhile, has a fan in Kate Middleton, who has requested formal items (not a wedding dress, though!) from her spring/summer collection.

"Apparently she likes my clothes," Beckham told Us in February. "It is tremendously exciting!"

    I loved Victoria's hat.Not the dress so much.Anyway it was a day for the Bride and Groom.

    Wow! I thought Victoria looked stunning and elegant. Loved her dress!

    her dress looks sooooo boring and so bluish. I think Victoria is unormally obsessed and exagrate with her look and on this photo she looks like a big crown.

    Why were the Beckhams even invited? Victoria is always a sourpuss, she alone could ruin the spirit of a happy occasion.

    She looks cranky. She should have broken up her colors a bit. Her outfit is too blue on blue.

    victoria looked just fine. for heaven's sake. geesh!!! some of the hats surely could garner more criticizem than her.

    @ Vyakunta Jay Youngblood, "Maybe the look hasn't caught on in the states yet..and I hope it doesn't." Where state are you from? Judging from the way you look like, VB's look will never be caught on in your state. I'm not a fan of VB but she looked so lovely in her dress.

    Does Victoria ever smile? Why does she have to look like an old prude all the time with that tight lip seal of hers?

    Cojo, you have it all wrong! Victoria looked stunning. And I loved the hat. She was understated and elegant. Something should have been done about the Royal Grand-Daughters' hats!! Those were terrible

    I agree, she did look pretty ridiculous. Maybe the look hasn't caught on in the states yet..and I hope it doesn't.

    The day was brilliant. Beautiful ceremony without error. Congratulations to the entire royal family and may the happy couple have a wonderful life together. Hip, hip, hooray and cheerio.http://bit.ly/j4vg1j

    Okay i have to agree with this article. She looked horrible, weather your preg or not, i wouldnt be caught dead wearing this dress or hat, she should of wore something much more colorful, looked like she was going to a funeral, her husband looked great. She is a pretty woman but realy made a bad decision on her outfit!

  • April 29, 2011 - 10:03pm Deanna Wahl

    She is pregnant and looks stunning! Love the shoes and hat!!

  • April 29, 2011 - 6:05pm Michelle Sandoval

    Whoever wrote this must be blind...or probably this is just a cheap publicity gimmick for usmagazine. I think she looks lovely.

  • April 29, 2011 - 4:05pm Ellen Thompson Dickinson

    Maybe this critic isn't aware that Victoria is pregnant? I think she looks lovely.

  • April 29, 2011 - 2:10pm Valerie Martillini

    She looks fantastic, I don't see the issue.

  • April 29, 2011 - 1:49pm Diana Isabel Richards

    Shut up "Cojo". She looked amazing!

  • April 29, 2011 - 1:26pm tobias.brenninger

    Steven Cojocaru is it a man, is it a woman? what else this is big rubbish Victoria Beckham looks amazing!!! she is a fashion icon and not Steven who??? ;)

  • April 29, 2011 - 1:16pm Arix Beckham

    I think she looks great! that critic is blind and a fricking prick

  • April 29, 2011 - 12:02pm Tricia Didier Norene

    I don't care for the dress but she looks fine wearing it. I think people go out of their way looking for reasons to criticize others.
