Lindsay Lohan, Naomi Campbell Turn Perp Walk Into Catwalk (PHOTOS, POLL)

The New York Times published an article we’ve been meaning to write for a while now, declaring the “perp walk” — a.k.a. famous people’s paths into the courtroom — to be the new catwalk.

Ruth La Ferla cites, of course, Lindsay Lohan’s most recent struts after being accused of felony grand theft. Lohan stepped out to the Airport Superior Court on February 9 in a $575, white Kimberly Ovitz sweater dress that sold out immediately. Then Ruth mentions us — “A chorus of self-appointed style pundits at news and gossip outlets including TMZ.com, The Huffington Post and Us Weekly frowned on her choice as unseemly at best, and unlikely to impress a jury or a judge.” Not sure when we frowned, since we read it causes wrinkles. We think we did some smirking, but that’s about it.

Someone who doesn’t sound too happy about Lohan’s outfit choices is Hollywood attorney Gloria Allred. She told the Times, “If anything, [Lindsay’s] outfits are alienating. A court wants to feel that the defendant has a proper respect for the gravity of the occasion. I suppose we ought to be grateful that she’s not wearing shorts.”

And now, because we are seemingly the arbiters of perp walk style, we present with commentary our five picks for the best-dressed perp walkers.

Lindsay Lohan spends a lot of time in the courthouses of Southern California, so we guess she may as well look fabulous while she’s there. After all, a designer wardrobe is a terrible thing to waste!

In February, Lindsay made headlines when she pleaded not guilty in a white dress by Kimberly Ovitz; media types made haste to point out that the dress’ super-short hemline derailed the message of purity intended by its hue. But on Thursday, the 24-year-old appears to have tried to tone things down: LiLo covered her legs in opaque black tights, ostensibly to counterbalance the liquid leather of her mini dress with its full-length zipper down the back ($725 by Raquel Allegra). In the exact shade of po-po taupe and topped with classic aviators, Lindsay seems to have taken aim at sexy cop style. Appropriate, non?

But the poor dear can do no right in the critical media eye: Even when she appeared at court, on February 23, in head-to-toe Chanel (what could be more classic?!), her $8K outfit was panned for its cost (never mind the cleavage). But Lindsay wasn’t always so high class: Short shorts, clogs and a potty mouth manicure have also made their way into Lindsay’s courtroom repertoire.
