George Harrison and Pattie Boyd making their way to the courthouse following their March 12, 1969 arrest for possession of marijuana. It was three weeks after they were busted upon this appearance. Pattie shared in Wonderful Tonight a tidbit from her diary recorded on the day of this appearance: “fined £500 – the bastards.” I positively love how chic and rock 'n roll people like George and Pattie looked when they would go to court. Mick, Keith, Marianne, Brian, John and Yoko, Paul and Linda, and countless others treated the courthouse like a fashion show. I much prefer their take on courthouse attire than the present-day Young Hollywood edition. Though their endless wild partying leads them there in the first place, you'd never know it from how clean-cut, prim and proper they are always done up to be. To any Hollywood It-Girl out there who will soon get arrested, instead of donning a black frock, pearls, and your prized Louboutins, why don't you make like Pattie and sport a burgundy velvet blazer and or a voluminous scarf around your neck?
