The WebKit file input control would, I think, be safe to style because it does not have a text field to type into, so no matter what it looks like the user has to actively choose a file from the file open dialog after clicking on it. The designs of most other browsers would be vulnerable to disguising it as something else though, if the user can be tricked into typing a file path.
