Check out Lindsay in this picture:

That red lipstick and red Mary Jane peep-toe pumps look striking against all the black she’s wearing. The dress is not exactly to die for, but the whole look is very dramatic.

This photo was taken last February 16, when she hosted a Haiti benefit in London.

Lindsay looks “well” on the exterior, but you can tell from her eyes that this girl’s heart is bleeding for her ex-love Samantha Ronson. And what better way to show the broken heart than a black and red ensemble, right?

Want the dramatic look? Wear your LBD and don any of these hot and tempting Mary Jane sandals:

Tired of your classic and plain looking Mary Jane sandals?

Classic and plain actually aren’t bad, but sometimes it can be boring for those who prefer the busy.

Rather than going for edgier styles (usually the normal route after staying plain), why not go whimsical, dreamy, and romantic instead?

Here are 3 ultra-feminine takes on the classic open-toe Mary Janes that will surely make you thank the stars you’re a girl:

No other material or element can capture femininity or romanticism like lace. You can go for lace covered MJ’s like the Type Z Gypsy, or lace trimmed instead, like the pair from Romantic Soles:

Wear it like a girl should with the whip-stitch and ribbon embellished open-toe Mary Janes from Betsey Johnson and Nina Electra:

She looked simple but stunning as usual in a black long-sleeved tunic, some fishnet stockings, and a pair of good old Mary Jane pumps

This look is quite easy to pull-off. If you don’t have a pair of classic MJ pumps  yet, you can just buy online to avoid the hassle of going to your local department store or mall.

Here’s a pair from Miss Sixty that I recommend you consider:
