While Lindsay Lohan's courtoom attire has been scrutinized in the past for being inappropriate -- think overly stylish and revealing -- the ensemble she wore this morning to court in L.A. is receiving a thumbs up from those in the know.
Lindsay—who will avoid jail for now, and stay in rehab at Betty Ford until January--wore a black blazer, white V-neck top, denim jeans, heels and a Chanel handbag, all of which trial consultant Sarah Murray says conveyed the right message. “She's dressed in a way that is stylish to her audience, but it's very careful and respectful at the same time,” says Murray, who works at San Francisco-based Trial Behavior Consulting.
Murray adds, “She chose subdued colors, which is always good in front of a judge, and her outfit suggests she is not depressed because she looks well put together."
And even Lohan's hair sent the message that she was ready for whatever ruling the judge was going to make. “Another plus, was that her hair was pulled back in a ponytail not to hide her face. By doing this it shows she's putting herself forward, to face her ruling.”
And celeb hair stylist John Barrett also gave Lohan's look the thumbs up, too! "I thought Lindsay looked very 'courtroom chic.' The black blazer over a white scoop-neck looked cool," he tells TooFab. And joked, "Clearly there must be a colorist at Betty Ford because she has no roots! Loved the ponytail!"
You go, Linds!
