In 2014, it was uncertain whether Lindsay Lohan would make a successful comeback. With Oprah in her corner, hopes were high—but given her tumultuous past, the road ahead wasn’t exactly smooth.

Fast forward to today, and Lindsay has made notable personal and professional progress, even returning to acting with projects like Netflix’s Falling for Christmas. While her journey hasn’t been without setbacks, her resilience and continued presence in the spotlight are encouraging.

Here at Your Next Shoes, we’ve always rooted for Lindsay—not just because of her early charm in The Parent Trap or her iconic roles in Mean Girls and Freaky Friday, but because we’ve watched her fashion evolve along the way. One such moment came in April 2014, when she was spotted in New York City wearing two distinct outfits while heading to the Late Show with David Letterman.

Lindsay Lohan Embraces the Pajama Trend in Matching Separates and Isabel Marant Heels

The first look embraced the pajama trend of the season: printed trousers with a matching top layered under a lace jacket and accessorized with a floppy hat and feminine bow-detailed pumps.

While the styling may not have been perfect, the mix had definite potential. The playful pumps, in particular, added a girly charm to the otherwise lounge-inspired ensemble.

Well, did Lindsay nail the pajama look or not? Li-Lo’s matching separates are from a European brand called Second Female. Her jacket hasn’t been ID’ed as of yet, but her “Poppy” pumps are from Isabel Marant.

Introduced around 2010, the Poppy pumps became a fashion staple, particularly among fashion editors and enthusiasts.

Lindsay Lohan’s Bow-Embellished Isabel Marant Pumps: A Chic Classic

Lindsay Lohan’s Isabel Marant pumps feature delicate stitched bows on each vamp, adding a feminine flourish to their sleek silhouette. While they may appear modest in height, the heels actually stand at around 4 inches—providing just the right amount of elegant lift.

While the original “Poppy” pumps are now sold out, the style was once available in a variety of finishes—including classic black, two-tone, metallic, and exotic snakeskin. For similar styles and the latest Isabel Marant footwear, check out current collections at Farfetch and Mytheresa.

A Glamorous Switch-Up: Lindsay Lohan’s Piano-Patterned Dress and Louboutin Booties

After arriving at the venue, Lindsay traded her pajama set for a unique piano-patterned sequined dress from the UK brand Ashish.

Lindsay punctuated the frock with a white coat and the same hat she wore with her previous outfit. Her finishing touches included thigh-high stockings and a pair of black pointy cap-toe booties from Christian Louboutin.

Lindsay’s Edgy Finish: Christian Louboutin’s Fierce ‘Calamijane’ Booties

Here’s the thing — while we fancy those red-bottom booties from Mr. CL, they just weren’t the perfect complement to Lindsay’s look. She also made the whole combination worse by wearing thigh-high nylons instead of the usual tights.

In any case, allow us to give you a closer look at Lindsay’s gorgeous heels. They’re called “Calamijane,” and “killer” would be the best word to describe them. These shoes feature extremely pointy toes and are detailed with perforated and scalloped metal caps. They also sit on pin-thin, 4-inch-tall wrapped heels that you can easily use in case someone tries to kidnap you.

The Calamijane booties are pretty sexy and will look great with skinnies and trousers. As for Lindsay’s pretty piano dress, that one isn’t available for the taking, but you can find Ashish merchandise at Farfetch if you’re interested in checking out its lineup.

Other stars spotted in Christian Louboutin’s ‘Calamijane’ design include Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who wore the slingback pump version with a tangerine Vionnet dress on the red carpet.

Now, back to Lindsay, which of the above two looks do you prefer?
