Lindsay Lohan has a track record for wearing white or light-colored outfits to her court appearances.

So, it certainly came as no surprise to find her in white (again) when she appeared before the judge yesterday for charges involving last year’s car crash.

The controversial actress pleaded no contest to two counts in a plea deal and was sentenced to 90 days in locked rehab, 30 days of community labor, and 18 months of psychotherapy.

For the hearing, LL wore a sheer white peplum detailed dress (or a top?) over a pair of sheer trousers from 3.1 Phillip Lim’s Fall 2012 collection. Granted, it was an odd-looking outfit, but it looked even more peculiar on the troubled actress.

So, what do you think of Lilo’s latest look? A dress over sheer trousers—would you wear something similar on any given day? She has definitely had better moments, yes?

We don’t know where she bought the outfit, but she should have worn something else. What would you have made her wear if you were Lindsay’s stylist? A little black dress? A decent shift? Perhaps a polka-dotted dress to make her look like a real good girl?

Here are four combos we put together when we had the chance to dress up the controversial Lindsay Lohan. Which of these would have looked best on her?
