Lindsay Lohan attends court in Los Angeles wearing her best 'please don't send me to jail' outfit

Lindsay Lohan attends court in Los Angeles wearing her best 'please don't send me to jail' outfit

Lindsay Lohan arrived in court in Los Angeles today, despite saying that she was too ill to attend.

The Mean Girls actress had previously filed papers stating that she had a flu-like illness and couldn’t fly back from New York to LA to attend the court date.

However, after being snapped at New York's JFK airport last night (with her face looking more than a little bloated), we figured Linds had decided to do the responsible thing and show up after all.

Lindsay keeps her head down and heads in to face The Judge

Looks like she forgot to tan her legs. Oh Linds

And that's just what she's gone and done, donning her best 'look how grown up and trustworthy I am' outfit in honour of the appointment.

Lindsay arrived at the court in Los Angeles wearing a little black dress and a pair of zebra and polka dot print heels. She accessorised her look with mum Dina on her arm.

Lindsay's arrival understandably caused a bit of a kerfuffle

She'd managed a wardrobe change somewhere between arriving in Los Angeles and leaving New York, where she was seen boarding her plane wearing leather trousers, a matching leather coat with fur sleeves and a big hat. Well, leather and fur aren't really made for LA weather, are they?

Inside the courtroom, Lindsay came face to face with Judge Stephanie Sautner, the same judge that sentenced Linds to community service for stealing a necklace in 2011 .

Is that a light from heaven shining down on Lindsay? Probably not

This time round, Lindsay's in court to determine whether she violated the terms of her recent probation, to which she's pleaded not guilty. She's also been charged with 'obstruction', 'providing false information to an officer' and 'driving with wanton disregard'. Oo-er.

Judge Stephanie (we're meant to call judges by their first name, like Judge Judy, right?) scheduled a trial for 27 February, and warned La Lohan that even if jurors find her not guilty in the trial, she could still be found in violation of her probation - which means she could still face some more jail time.

Judge Stephanie also dryly told Lindsay: "I'm glad you're feeling better."

Which we reckon she meant in an ironic kind of way.

We really hope Lindsay doesn't go to jail again, as we kind of thought she was starting to get her life together recently. If you class making a film with a pornstar as getting your life together. Check out the trailer for that little beauty below...
