At a taping of The Late Show with David Letterman in New York City on April 9, 2013, Lindsay Lohan leaned into one of the decade’s most enduring style combinations: black leather paired with delicate lace.
The appearance came during the promotional run for Scary Movie 5, but the outfit itself carried the story — a structured leather skirt, strappy heels, oversized sunglasses, and accessories that balanced polished luxury with downtown edge.

The look worked because it felt straightforward rather than overly styled. Lohan paired a structured Hermès Constance bag and round Ray-Ban sunglasses with an asymmetrical Olcay Gulsen leather skirt and cropped lace top, creating a sharp contrast between soft and structured textures.
More than a decade later, the mix still feels relevant because leather midi and mini skirts remain a staple alongside minimalist sandals and monochrome styling.

Her strappy high-heel sandals also anchored the outfit with a cleaner, more refined finish than ankle boots or pumps would have delivered.

The barely-there silhouette kept the focus on the skirt’s sculptural shape while adding the kind of leg-lengthening effect that defined much of early 2010s celebrity street style.
