It wasn’t just the gown from French fashion designer Christophe Guillarmé that won us over; it was also the styling that impressed us.

Lindsay Lohan’s Red Carpet Manicure and the Story Behind Her Hand Tattoos
Lindsay Lohan showcased her manicure and hand tattoos at the 2017 amfAR Gala, including a black heart tattoo on her left hand—a matching symbol she had with ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson.
Originally done in white ink in 2006, Lindsay had it darkened to match Samantha’s, though Samantha later covered hers in 2011.

Next to the heart, Lindsay’s tattoo reads “Live Without Regrets,” which she reportedly got in 2012 to commemorate a positive period in her life, reflecting her attitude toward past relationships and experiences.

To complete our look at Lindsay Lohan’s 2017 amfAR Gala appearance, unfortunately, the length of her Christophe Guillarme gown kept her heels out of sight. Known for her love of high heels, Lindsay often opts for styles that elevate her petite 5’4¾” (164.5 cm) frame.
Lindsay’s favorite shoe brands include Christian Louboutin, renowned for its iconic red soles; Giuseppe Zanotti, recognized for bold, statement designs; and Jimmy Choo, celebrated for its classic elegance.
