Lindsey Westbrook was issued the citation at 9:47 a.m. after the presiding judge, identified as Judge Marsha Holloway, paused the proceedings to ask, "Ma'am — what is happening?" Per the citation report, Westbrook had reportedly told her own attorney earlier that morning that she planned to "dress confidently" for the hearing. She did not specify how. Per witness accounts from the courtroom: Westbrook arrived at the courthouse at 8:42 a.m. carrying a small clutch shaped like a glass slipper She rode the elevator with three other attorneys, none of whom commented She entered the courtroom holding a single long-stemmed rose and a printed photo of her 7-year-old daughter She curtsied to the bailiff She referred to her ex-husband's attorney as "the messenger of the kingdom" She referred to the judge as "Your Most Gracious Honor" Per the affidavit, Westbrook's ex-husband — identified as Tyler Westbrook, 36 — was reportedly already seated at his table wearing a standard charcoal suit. He did not look up. When asked to remove the tiara, Westbrook allegedly responded, "I'd prefer not to. It's part of the case." Judge Holloway reportedly recessed the hearing for 14 minutes to "regain her composure." Upon return, she ordered Westbrook to remove the sash and the gloves but allowed her to keep the dress, citing "lack of clear courtroom dress code precedent for ballgowns." Westbrook was cited for contempt of court and disrupting a judicial proceeding. She was released later that morning.
