Lindsay Lohan
The troubled actress dons her most demure outfit yet for court. But the sweet pleated skirt, blazer and bow-embellished Louboutins didn't sway the judge, who sent LiLo directly to jail for violating the terms of her probation.
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi
Judge Damian Murray may accuse the black-clad (and poofless!) Snookster of being a "Lindsay Lohan wannabe," but we beg to differ. Exhibit A: Unlike the Jersey Shore star's vocabulary, her French manicure is profanity free.
Naomi Campbell
The supermodel takes the stand—no, she isn't the accused this time—at the war crimes tribunal of alleged mass murderer Charles Taylor in a demure white cardigan and classic, Old Hollywood updo.
Foxy Brown
The rapper doesn't go for either muted colors or subtlety as she totes bling and a designer bag to a Brooklyn court on July 27 to answer to a charge that she violated her neighbor's restraining order against her.
Lindsay Lohan
Sporting a pair of skinny jeans, a grey T-shirt and a black leather jacket, the actress surrenders to the court in Beverly Hills to begin her 90-day sentence for probation violation.
George Clooney
The Oscar winner donned a navy suit, crisp white shirt and red-spotted tie to take on a trio of designers in Milan who used his name to launch a fashion line. Clooney is suing the group for fraud and seeks roughly $3.88 million in damages.
John Stamos
The ex-ER actor dons a classic black suit as he heads into a Michigan courthouse for day two of an extortion trial in which he was the alleged victim. Two locals are accused of trying to extort $700,000 from the thesp by threatening to sell supposedly compromising pics of him.
Lindsay Lohan
Conservatively dressed in a black short-sleeved top and gray slacks, the troubled starlet arrives at court July 6 to determine if she has been in violation of her probation, most notably, the fact that her SCRAM bracelet went off recently. Good accessories are hard to find.
Lawrence Taylor
On May 6, 2010, the married NFL Hall of Famer pleads not guilty to statuatory rape and patronizing a prostitute. The 16-year-old girl's alleged pimp is facing charges of unlawful imprisonment, assault and endangering the welfare of a child.
Lindsay Lohan
The actress showed up (finally!) in a Beverly Hills courtroom on May 24 decked out in a Prada suit and Dior shades. She was ordered by the judge to stay away from drugs and alcohol, get fitted with a SCRAM device, submit to random drug testing once a week and attend all scheduled alcohol classes.
Michael Douglas
The somber-looking actor and his ex-wife Diandra Douglas leave the federal courthouse in NYC on April 20 after their son, Cameron, is sentenced to five years in prison for heroin possession and conspiracy to distribute drugs.
Lil' Wayne
Weezy looked a little queezy on his way into a Manhattan courtroom to face sentencing in his illegal weapons case. The rapper received a year in jail as part of plea deal but could get out in eight months if he's on his best behavior. Lil' Wayne declined to address the judge before he was led away in handcuffs and a hoodie to begin his term.
Randy & Evi Quaid
A defense? An alibi? A leg to stand on? Please. The only thing this wacky couple has brought to court (other than entertainment value) is a thrift-store suit accessorized by an old Golden Globe.
Charlie Sheen
A black suit seems to reflect the actor's mood as he arrives at an Aspen court in relation to his alleged domestic dispute with wife Brooke Mueller. Sheen was charged with one felony and two misdemeanors—you'll get a chance to see him again when he returns to court March 15.
Brooke Mueller
Mrs. Charlie Sheen heads to court in black and cheery pink—in spite of saying she's been to hell and back since the Dec. 25 assault.
Kate Walsh
The Private Practice star trades in her scrubs for a much more fashionable look while finding out exactly who gets what in the divorce settlement between her and her ex-husband, Alex Young.
Rip Torn
Too bad his Men in Black costume department didn't dress the actor before he faced the judge for allegedly breaking into a bank while under the influence.
Lil Wayne
The dapper-looking rapper needs his glasses as he enters a hearing to discuss some miniscule DNA evidence in his gun-possession case.
Lindsay Lohan
What do you wear to a probation hearing? Why, a studded jacket, of course. LiLo's got one year to complete a court-ordered alcohol education program. And about two weeks before this trendy piece hits its expiration date.
Jon Gosselin
He may wear an overabundance of Ed Hardy on his own time, but Jon doesn't fool around when it comes to cleaning up for court.
Kelly Rutherford
Is the Gossip Girl matriarch mourning? The pregnant actress selected a severe hairstyle, funereal attire and minimal makeup for her January custody case. And the judge was impressed by the somber mama, ruling that her son, Hermes, could travel with her to New York when she resumed filming on her CW hit show.
Denise Richards
Denise looked de-nice and de-lovely while also being suitably demure in this glamtastic ensemble at a June 2008 custody hearing in downtown Los Angeles.
Amy Winehouse
This is about as conservative as the troubled chanteuse gets as she headed to court earlier this month to visit incarcerated hubby Blake Fielder-Civil. The simple blue dress is almost presentable and her hair, which usually looks like two raccoons fighting, here just looks more like a couple of squirrels wrestling. Give her an A for effort.
Naomi Campbell
A guilty plea kept the supermodel out of the stocks, but the sleek gray suit and straightened brunette locks probably didn't hurt the suddenly camera-shy star's case.
