11 Best (and Worst) Celebrity Mug Shots

From super-stylish to dang-what-happened, we've rounded up our favorites

Paris Hilton
Proof that Hilton was ahead of the braid trend: her mug shot from 2010, when she was arrested for cocaine possession.

Lindsay Lohan
Lohan's most recent mug shot shows she's got the whole casual hair and makeup, "this is no big deal" smirk down.

Michelle Rodriguez
Aside from the hint of prison-issue jumpsuit, you'd never know this is the mug shot taken when Rodriguez violated probation.

Janis Joplin
Love the natural waves and the maxi dress; perfectly hippy-chic for this mug shot, taken after the singer was arrested for disorderly conduct.

Mischa Barton
Barton has definitely looked better, but red eyes and dark roots aside, this isn't a terrible mug shot. Could easily be a candid from a party. But nope, this beauty was taken after she Barton was arrested for drunk driving.

I'm rarely surprised when I find out a celebrity has been arrested. They live in a fantasy world of free-flowing drugs and alcohol, after all. And while it baffles me that many of them don't just hire drivers when they party, it doesn't shock me when they inevitably get pulled over.

What does amaze me, however, is how put-together and even beautiful some of them look in their mug shots. Seriously, are these celebrities stashing hair and makeup artists in their trunks in case the need arises? Or do they just always look stunning, even at their worst?

Of course, for every star who looks like she just stepped off the red carpet, there's another one with a pic that's totally cringe-inducing. You know the celebrity mug shots I'm talking about -- the one in which the starlet has smudged makeup, disheveled hair, and a "who me?" expression. Since these are just as (if not more) entertaining as the celebrities with perfect mug shots, they're here for your enjoyment as well.

Regardless of how these stars look, here's hoping they learn from their previous mistakes -- when it comes to their crimes and their mug shots.
