The L.A. Sheriff’s Department has said that Lindsay Lohan could be released as early as Sunday, and speculation is already underway about the star’s all-important jail-to-car look. For what is surely one of the most photographed occasions of a young girl’s life, stylist and ballet-flat designer Phillip Bloch already has a look in mind:
“Knowing Lindsay, I expect her to emerge in some skin tight jeans and some uber-trendy layered top. If I had the opportunity to dress her [Philip dressed Halle Berry when she accepted her Oscar] when she exits jail, I would put her in a soft and flowy sundress a la Natalie Wood. It wouldn’t be bad to soften up her image at this point.”
Bloch’s advice has apparently been ignored, as naturally LiLo will be wearing leggings from her 6126 line--she’d be mad not to take advantage of the publicity. (We’ll avoid the obvious fashion crime joke here.... Whoops.)
But why worry about the poor woman’s leggings when there’s her hair to consider!
“There is a small, dirty public bathroom in the reception area that she will be allowed to use briefly before she leaves,” an insider very familiar with Century Regional Correctional Facility tells me. “She will not be allowed to plug in a hairdryer and get a blow out and she can forget about using a flattening iron. There will be no full-length mirror and only if the corrections officers decide to be nice will they close the area to the public.”
No flatiron? Oh, the humanity! One would think one’s hair wouldn’t be a concern upon being released from jail, but according to the article, even Paris Hilton hired an image consultant to choreograph her post-prison promenade and Lindsay Lohan isn’t about to be outdone by her.
