Celebrity Courtroom Chic: Nicole Richie Latest Fashionista Defendant

Monday July 30, 2007
nicole richie at sentencing paris hiltonIs it right to focus more on what bad-girl fashionistas wear to court than what they did to earn a spot in front of the judge? Absolutely not. Now that we've got that out of the way, let's talk fashion.

Nicole Richie appeared before the judge in her DUI case wearing a sophisticated little black dress from Moschino (pronounced mos-KEEN-O) that was worthy of Audrey Hepburn. She wore her trademark oversized sunglasses (a look well-borrowed from style icon Jackie Onassis) and a neat chignon (a look perfected by Grace Kelly).

Paris Hilton, on the other hand, took a stab at using fellow-acusee Winona Ryder's courtroom trademark, the headband. See more of what everyone from cell-phone-throwing supermodel Naomi Campbell to sticky-fingered Winona Ryder wore on their days in court.

Thanks for giving us the pronunciation of Moschino. I feel like an idiot when I do not know how to pronounce these designer names, i read them so often but rarely do i hear them. You should write us a whole pronunciation guide :)
