Lindsay Lohan’s black & white Chanel for court: appropriate or tacky?

lindsay_lohan_002_wenn5613469

Just how superficial am I? I will literally write about what this crackhead wears to court. Like, I can fill a whole post with musings on court wear. Let me state at the beginning that I am a strong believer in dressing appropriately for the occasion, and I also believe that there are some tried-and-true style rules that no one should break or bend. When you are going into court, whether it’s as a defendant or a witness or a jury member or you’re just supporting some crackhead family member, there are rules for how you should dress. (Sidenote: the rules for dressing for court are the same as dressing for a formal appearance before Congress or any kind of legislative body as well.) First of all, cover up. Your tittays should not be on display in any way, shape or form. If you’re going to wear a skirt, no minis. The highest you should go is an inch or two above the knee, but knee-length is preferred. Pants are acceptable, but no jeans and no wrinkled chinos. Heels, flats, and boots are no problem, just don’t go for sandals. I don’t care if it’s hot out, do not expose your toes. I also believe that sleeveless is unacceptable for court. As far as hair and makeup goes – it should be professional and business-like. No dark eye shadow, no bright lipstick, no punked-out hair. I personally don’t like ponytails for court, because it’s just as easy to do a simple bun, which looks much more professional. Keep everything clean, simple and conservative.

So… following my rules of dress, how did Lindsay do? This look is somewhat conservative for Lindsay, which is to say, still pretty tacky. The Chanel pants are fine… my biggest problem is that they look really cheap (that‘s just Lindsay, she does that to clothes), but they’re pants, they’re not wrinkled, and they fit. Of course, there’s a photo of Lindsay from behind, and you can see full butt crack – I don’t even think she’s wearing a thong or a g-string. Crackhead is going commando to court. FAIL.

As for the top… I think it’s a Chanel tank top with a sheer-ish cardigan, with a hand-knotted closure. Too much cleavage for court, in my opinion, and the sheer-ness of the cardigan makes it more of an evening look. Not ghastly, but not really good either.

According to TMZ, Lindsay was really upset about the outcry from her last court dress – the white minidress – and Lindsay “was deciding between a handful of outfits — and ultimately picked the one she thought was the most reserved … a low-cut black and white pant suit thing.”

Here’s my last question: why is Lindsay wearing Chanel to court? Shouldn’t this broke crackhead be wearing hand-me-down Ann Taylor or something?

    The top is too low cut. I wish she would stop trying to make the blonde hair happen.

  2. dorothy says:

    At least it’s not too short…however, it is kind of low. She’s just to dumb to know what’s appropriate.

  3. caramia says:

    omg, where did those necklaces come from? trailer park look…nice fake eyelashes too.

  4. Zelda says:

    I really like that outfit. For dinner. Not court.

    and YES @strawberry girl. The blonde hair. Oy.

    And the tacky string necklaces…

  5. melinda says:

    She is amazing. Possibly the only woman out there that can make Chanel look ratty and cheap.

  6. seVen says:

    didnt the knotted shirt thing sorta go out with the 90s? Next thing she’ll wear a sweatshirt tied around her waist to hide her butt or something.

  7. Kat says:

    The top is far too low cut. The entire outfit is not court-appropriate. Only LL could make garments from the holy grail of fashion houses look like something out of a $1 bin from Walmart.

  8. Estella says:

    I don’t like anything about this outfit even though I do love LiLo’s boobs! Her “girls” are inappropriately dressed for court though. As for the total look: The Minnie Mouse shoes look lame with a cream-colored pant, the high-waisted pant makes LL’s ass look flat, the tank and necklace are cute but too beachy for the courthouse, and the sweater looks straight outta Target. I have no clue what is going on with that wreck of a ponytail/dye job – are her roots white?? I’m confused. All in all this is a court fashion fail. IMO, she should have just brung it in the black tank top and white hot pants or a mini. It’s never too early to start attracting a big prison mami to protect you for your inevitable stay on the inside, Lilo. 😉

  9. jackie says:

    Her face is inappropriate.

  10. nina says:

    She should have worn the stolen necklace to court.

  11. Ruby Red Lips says:

    Trousers are fine, the top is the problem…hooking much?!!

    BTW she looks like she’s dropped weight again, ALWAYS a sign she’s back on the white stuff…

  12. brin says:

    Cracky looks tacky.

  13. bagladey says:

    Lindsay can never just be “appropriate”, she always has to be: “Too low”, “too short”, “too tight”. Lindsay needs to look at Paris Hilton and (lately) Bruno Mars for appropriate (sober) court attire and demeanour.

  14. Emily says:

    Better, but that’s hardly saying much. And I agree with Ruby Red Lips, she looks like she’s losing weight, which usually means one thing with this crackhead.

  15. Rita says:

    Considering that she’s gone from writing f’ck-you on her finger nails, to heels and a miniskirt, to a Chanal blouse with nice pants, I have to say she’s making progresss……but I’m with you Kaiser!!!!!!! Let’s burn the bitch!!!! (If she’d showed up with a painted black-face and Beyonce CD, we could have had a lot of fun)

    @Kaiser

    Just received an email from Judge Judy requesting you post your “Dress Code for Crackheads” on all judicial threads.

  16. carrie says:

    looks conservative

  17. skilo says:

    @brin
    lol, you could say her fashion is as tacky as her family is wacky.

  18. Kaboom says:

    I’d prefer her in orange. And a jumpsuit with Department of Corrections on the back.

  19. tpass says:

    Those look like the pants Jen Aniston wore in Madrid with different details. This should be on Joan Rivers Bitch stole my look.

  20. guesty says:

    almost. but still a no.

  21. Dani says:

    This isn’t complicated Lindsay. Business dress. Button up shirt and suit jacket. And that means keeping the cleavage unexposed. This is a pure rebel move in my eyes. Last time the skin tight white dress, time before the FU nails, and now this. She is where she is for a reason.

  22. Feebee says:

    Are we really still asking this question of Lindsay Lohan? Isn’t it more like when was the last time she wore something appropriate to court? If it was when she “decorated” her nails then that voids that one too.

  23. Novaraen says:

    Ugh…terrible outfit for court.

    I agree the top is too low cut and the hair is disgusting. She didn’t even brush it neatly into the ponytail…and I see she’s going for those super blonde barbie extensions again. Oh crackhead please!

  24. Jackson says:

    I’d adhere to those same rules, Kaiser…other than the ponytail/bun thing. I think a ponytail can look very sleek and professional so I don’t have a problem with that. Putting my hair in a bun would make it look like I was trying too hard to be something…demure, maybe? Anyway, I’m ok with ponytails.

    Lilo’s top, however, is tacky, tacky, tacky. Way too much cleavage showing – these are court proceedings FFS.

  25. Kaiser says:

    Jackson – Yeah, the ponytail thing is different for every woman. Some women make ponytails look chic. Some (like me), just look like we’re going to the gym.

  26. Shelley says:

    Why is her hairline so receded?!?!
    And Nina: LOL!!!

  27. Goober Stacks says:

    I wonder if she stole that necklace too.

    I’m gonna tell !

  28. Maritza says:

    She looks fine, tasteless would have been if she wore black and white stripes.

  29. Camille says:

    @tpass: Aniston did it better.

  30. Venus says:

    I kind of like the outfit — not sure it is great for court, but it’s cute.

  31. Cha Cha Loca says:

    Normally I’d ask where in the hell is her mother and why isn’t mom helping her with dressing/behaving appropriately? Then I remember who her mother is and realize this poor kid is just screwed all the way around.

  32. e.non says:

    she is loving the attention…

  33. JenJen says:

    It was even said on the news that she didn’t wear a bra. It seemed very evident to me. She was trying to make them bounce as much as she could strutted in. It was so low cut, it was another dis-respectful insult to the court.

  34. jane16 says:

    Beautifully written kaiser! Agree 100% She looks absurd in that get up, and she looks really old for her age.

  35. Innocent says:

    @carmia
    The necklaces are from “Tres Glam” Brittny Gastineau’s jewelery line

  36. kwoww says:

    in the words of lily allen, “good dancing love, but you should’ve worn a bra”.

  37. Tess says:

    Inappropriate.

    Washed out.

    A waste.

  38. mauibound says:

    LIndsey, you look like a crackhead with blonde hair, stick to red it flatters you, and for God’s sake who dresses this girl? Does she look in the mirror before she walks out the door? Who’s her stylist, whoever she is , I’d stay far away from them if I had that kind of money

  39. Cherry Rose says:

    Very tacky. But then again, if she wore an appropriate outfit to court, we wouldn’t be discussing it, would we?

    I wish some judge would comment on her choice of clothing and be like, “Do you really think that is the right choice of clothing to wear when your butt might be hauled to jail?”

  40. jemshoes says:

    At this point, I would say that some words, including ‘appropriate,’ no longer apply to LL. Other words also pop to mind: healthy, happy, sane, clean, responsible, mature … the list goes on.

  41. Ruffian9 says:

    Showing your tits in court, always considered a good idea, amiright?

  42. d says:

    kinda sad that she.just.doesn’t.know. about this kind of stuff by now. If she can hardly understand about dress codes for court, how professional will be as an actress (if anyone ever hires her for anything good again)? IDK…baby steps, maybe…

  43. Matt says:

    HER HAIR!! What a ratty, My Little Pony mess. Ugh.

  44. Hmmm says:

    “I’m ready for my close up, Mr DeMille”. (Fade to black.)

  45. Christina says:

    From pic #2 it looks like she didn’t brush her hair and just threw it into a ponytail. Either that or those are some rouuuuugh extensions.
    When I prep clients for trial, one of the big rules is for girls is No Cleave. None. The person deciding your fate is wearing a big black dress with a high collar. Take your cues from that.

  46. gg says:

    Right – you don’t want even a whisper of a cleave in court. It will not influence anything in a positive direction so why risk it.

    I think the longer thong necklace is a medicine bag. Medicine bags are empowerment bundles from Native American spirituality. She’s worn it since she got out of rehab the last time.

    Also, I grieve every time she changes her hair color away from the glorious red she was born with. tsk.

  47. lucy2 says:

    Better but still not appropriate. She does look really skinny. Probably not a good sign, unless you’re a coke dealer in LA.

  48. original kate says:

    of course she looks tacky – she always looks tacky.

  49. CdnDutchGirl says:

    I read on X17 that Dina didn’t understand the problem with the white dress, saying “the dress wasn’t risque, it came down to her knees.”

    I got a kick out of that statement – especially when you recall that Dina taught Lindsay not to lie. I guess that was a “do as I say” lesson.

  50. telesma says:

    Oh, I think Britney Spears could make Chanel look ratty and cheap. Just sayin’. She’s good at making everything she wears look like it came from Walmart.

    As for Lindsay, the top is too low cut. It trashes up what is otherwise a perfectly lovely ensemble. It would be appropriate if the neckline were about 4 inches higher.

  51. _Salem_ says:

    She is slutty and has no class. She mocks the court every chance she gets. Surely someone could have told her to put on a bra and an appropriate blouse?

  52. Hakura says:

    I agree with Jackson in that I don’t believe ponytails are necessarily inappropriate.

    Granted, I mean the medium/low sort, without anything God-awful like a scrunchie. (You’d think that would go without saying, but this is Lohan.)

    But her clothes… This is the closest to appropriate she’s ever looked, so you have to give her that much. Everyone is right in that it’s still nowhere near what it should be, but in comparison, she’s getting a little better.

    But we can all agree, underwear/tata support is a good place to start. Come on, girl. At this rate, they’re going to be down by your knees by 30. Gravity is not kind.

  53. kaya says:

    is it just me, or does she look like 20 years older than she actually is these days?

  54. Quest says:

    Vast improvement but still needs some work… Note to Lohan:when you lack ass one should at least try wearing panties.

  55. HEB says:

    I wish she had brushed her hair. At least last time she did

  56. devilgirl says:

    Not appropriate for court.

  57. Isabel says:

    If she would cover up her boobs, wear underwear, brush her hair and throw on a blazer, she’d be somewhat acceptable. But it’s Lindsay. She’s a moron.

  58. bunkins says:

    The hair brought to you by Sun In.
    Transparent white pants? Gross. She should have worn a dark color pant.
    The tank/tied sweater look? TACKY and cheap looking.
    The necklace wedged between her giant rack? TACKY. How does she look in the mirror and say – hey this looks great! For court??? It’s so sad. She just can’t help herself, she loves all the attention. She knows exactly what she i doing when she wears a low cut top like that to court!
    If she wore a conservative suit, no one would be talking about her outfit.

  59. kelbear says:

    I watched it live on TMZ because I wanted to see what she would wear. When she first got of the car I thought she actually looked good. That was until I saw pictures of her close up. Hair looks gross, clothes look cheap, and she is just totally not taking this seriously. Is jail not serious?

  60. poof says:

    Well, it all depends on if she stole, “borrowed” or bought this outfit

  61. TXCinderella says:

    The top is way too low cut for court. She just doesn’t get conservative. I think this is her way of being passive-agressive without having F_CK YOU written on her fingernails.

  62. sapphire says:

    Any client I have ever had that showed up like this would get sent home to change. Particularly any client that had a history of dissing judges.

  63. TXCinderella says:

    The funniest part about her appearance is that she actually thinks she looks good…you know she does!

  64. dread pirate cuervo says:

    She doesn’t need to get all Yentl & bind her boobies, but the top is inappropriate for court.

  65. Ari says:

    Top and shoes need to go. She should have just worn her hair loose. This woman has no concept of who the hell she is AT ALL. I say woman because she is not a girl anymore no matter how hard her mother tries to cling desperately to that dream.

  66. MsLIb says:

    Oh “K”
    You are the best! I just read this to my husband as we travel south on the I-95. LOL!!! Of course my dramatic reading of your well-written essay did help with the laughter level. Thanks 😉

  67. Scarlet Vixen says:

    Rule #1: BATHE

    Rule #2: WEAR UNDERGARMENTS

    Ugh, I won’t even bother to continue.

  68. Shoe_Lover says:

    the fact that this crackhead b!tch gets to wear Chanel kills me and it totally taints the brand. Doesn’t Karl Lagerfeld care about Chanel being associated with this filthy trash!!!!

  69. Hakura says:

    @Scarlet Vixen – It’s bad enough that anyone needs to be told to ‘bathe‘ & ‘wear undergarments‘.

    Yeesh. & yes, ponytails are only appropriate when someone has brushed their hair first.

  70. e says:

    IF she’s such a fashionista she should know that one should wear a suit and dress conservative to court. She looks slutty. And, yes the blonde makes it worse.
