11 Best (and Worst) Celebrity Mug Shots

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

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.

Jaime Pressly
Pressly is pretty and her skin looks gorgeous even without makeup -- not bad after being pulled over for a DUI. But this still isn't a photo you'd want tagged on your Facebook.

Heather Locklear
Poor Heather. Smudged mascara and dried-out hair, this is not a good look for Locklear. Although it isn't too surprising considering she was pulled over for driving under the influence of prescription drugs.

Snooki
Snooki was arrested for disorderly conduct, and that conduct has clearly taken its toll on her messy hair and smudged eye makeup.

Wynonna Judd
What's crazy about this mug shot is not that Judd seems to have no makeup on, or that her hair has got a strange mullet-like quality to it. No, what's so bizarre is Judd's half smile. It's almost as if she's ... happy ... to be arrested for drunk driving? So. Don't. Get it.

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.
