Can YOU guess who these celebrities are meant to be? Eight of the worst court sketches as Kim Kardashian takes the stand in $10m jewel heist trial

Daily Mail​18-05-2025
They are among the world's most recognisable stars, A List celebrities with millions of fans but you'd never be able to tell from these court sketches.
Stars like Rebekah Vardy, Paris Hilton, Brad Pitt and Kim Kardashian have all had their famously flawless visages ripped to shreds.
Most recently Kim Kardashian's likeness was turned into a cartoonish portrait as she testified in the trial for a 2016 jewellery heist in Paris.
And famously he sister Kylie Jenner was no doubt left shocked by the portrait that was produced for the defamation case against her sister-in-law Black Chyna in 2022.
But they're not the only ones to be savaged by the artist's brush but can you guess who these stars are from their unflattering court portraits?
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian broke down in tears as she told the court she forgives the defendant, despite fearing she was going to be raped and killed during the $10 million heist.
While Kim, 44, took to the stand, sketch artists were on hand to recreate her famous appearance, but in this instance it seemed to miss the mark.
Instead of a perfect pout, the reality star was shown with a pinched face looking shocked as she addressed the court.
Kylie Jenner
And she's not the only Kardashian to have fallen foul of the curt room sketch artist.
In 2022 the Kardashian-Jenner clan including Kim, Khloe, Kylie, and Kris attended legal proceedings for Blac Chyna's $108 million case against them where they were accused of making statements that ruined or defamed the reality star's reputation and of plotting to get her TV show Rob and Chyna axed.
While the Kardashians managed to win their legal battle and Chyna was not awarded any damages, the reality stars were none the less left worse off after seeing their court sketches.
The make-up mogul Kylie Jenner was no doubt left shocked after seeing a portrait of her with bulging lips and long lashes as she stared down at her lap while hearing the verdict read out.
Tom Brady
The legendary quarterback ended up in federal court in New York in 2015 after being suspended for four games by the NFL over the 'Deflategate' ball tampering scandal.
Tom Brady's suspension was overturned and he was allowed to compete in the rest of the 2015 season but NFL fans were less interested in Brady's football career and more interested in the depiction of him during the trial.
In his court sketch the sports star was shown in a dark suit, leaning heavily on the table with his eyes closed.
Fans were unable to recognise the football legend who appeared to be melting and whose features and hair were a far cry away from his usual aesthetic.
Taylor Swift
She's a pop icon worth more than $1.6billion but even Taylor Swift isn't immune to an unflattering portrait or two.
During a one-week trial in 2017 where she counter-sued David Mueller, a former Denver DJ who accused the singer of falsely accusing him of groping her at a photo shoot, Swift became just one of the many victims of the artist's pen.
The judge found in her favour but much less favourable was the portrait where the Bad Blood singer was barely recognisable in a black dress and her hair swept back in a bun.
Sat with her lawyer and her mother Andrea, Swift stared down at the judge with her eyebrow raised.
Rebekah Vardy
The sensational 'Wagatha Christie' trial saw Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney embroiled in court room drama.
Mrs Vardy unsuccessfully sued the I'm A Celeb star in the High Court in 2022 after she was publicly accused of leaking stories about her to the press.
The catalyst for the famous Wagatha Christie case was a dramatic open letter written by Mrs Rooney and posted on social media in October 2019 in which she revealed she had turned detective to figure out who had been leaking details of her personal life.
And it seems the £1,190,000 legal bill wasn't the only blow to the wife of footballer Jamie Vardy who was rendered rather unflatteringly in a sketch.
But luckily for her she wasn't the only one and Wayne Rooney and his wife were also painted - literally - in a bad light with a group portrait of the warring trio huddled round a table in The Royal Courts of Justice in 2022.
Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt
Once Hollywood's golden couple, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt appear unrecognisable in a quick court sketch from the early 2000s.
Between 2000 and 2005, the Friends star sued a photographer for breach of privacy after he snapped and sold topless pictures of her sunbathing in her back garden.
During her court appearance, she was supported by her then-husband (a heavily bearded) Brad Pitt but you'd never have guessed by the artist's sketch which shows Pitt with long hair and straggly facial hair and Aniston with a loose ponytail and striped shirt.
Aniston eventually won the case, landing a final settlement of $550,000 after claiming the snapper caused her serious emotional distress.
Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton appeared in court in Los Angeles in 2007 for violating her probation and the socialite was no doubt upset by the way she had been rendered in the sketch.
At the time a judge ruled that Hilton spend 45 days in jail for knowingly driving without a valid license after a traffic offence from a previous instance.
The judge sentenced her to jail time, specifically ruling against work release, furloughs, alternative jail placements, or electronic monitoring.
According to The Guardian, Hilton shouted 'It's not right,' and cried for her mother, who was seated behind her in court as she was led away by sheriff's deputies.
In the court sketch Hilton was shown with her blonde hair swept back in to a low bun, in a black strappy top with a chunky necklace.
At the time a judge ruled that Hilton spend 45 days in jail for knowingly driving without a valid license after a traffic offence from a previous instance.
Jude Law
In 2014 actor Jude Law took to the stand at the Old Bailey to give evidence in the News Of The World phone-hacking trial.
Former editors Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson were on trial accused of conspiracy to hack mobile phones.
Law told the jury that press attention intensified when he was nominated for an Oscar in 2001 for The Talented Mr Ripley and continued through his divorce from actress Sadie Frost.
And to add injury to insult, Law's court sketch, showing him dressed in a dark suit with a spotty tie, bared little resemblance to his actual appearance - other than his famous widow's peak hairline.

The doll hype has since reached a global scale, with footage showing an hours-long, snaking queue in Berlin. One video captures crowds desperate to get their hands on the viral furry figurines waiting in what initially looks to be a never-ending line. The queue extends all the way around a block, and just when you think it's over, it snakes down another street before stretching around another building. Some people are even seen sitting down or lounging up against the metal barriers, presumably because they had been waiting for a long period of time to get their hands on the dolls. The caption on the video jokes: "This ain't a concert... It's Labubu in Berlin." A brand new Pop Mart has just opened in the German city, attracting Labubu fans to the store. The Chinese toy company's popularity has soared, with the retailer even surpassing Russian energy giant Gazprom in market value. The fluffy Labubu figurines have large, toothy smiles and claw-like feet. Created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, the vinyl figures are sold in £17.50 "blind boxes". And this appears to be part of the appeal, as fans have no idea which version they are getting - therefore making them a collectable.

Rio Ferdinand hits out at BBC over coverage of England Lionesses' Euro 2025 triumph with Man Utd icon left stunned

RIO FERDINAND was stunned by the absence of one ex-Lioness on BBC Sport's coverage of the Euro 2025 final. The former England international was watching the Lionesses beat World Cup winners Spain on penalties and be crowned back-to-back European champions on Sunday. 3 3 3 While the country were getting settled to witness the Lionesses claim silverware once again, Ferdinand took to social media to question the BBC's coverage choices. With three shocked-face emojis, he wrote on X: "How's @fara_williams47 not on the @BBCSport coverage." The ex-Manchester United defender is of course referring to former Lioness Fara Williams. Williams, who made 172 appearances for her country between 2001 and 2019, has become one of the most prominent pundits in the women's game since she hung up her boots. She had featured regularly on the BBC's coverage of the tournament over the summer. Williams' Instagram posts from Sunday show she was covering the final as part of the tournament's sponsors Just Eat's promo. She was on a panel for their pre-match show alongside ex-Lionesses and BBC pundits Alex Scott and Jill Scott. She also posted clips of herself in the stands, celebrating wildly when her former team became European champions for the second tournament in a row. Instead of Williams, the BBC had other Lionesses on their panel in Switzerland. Gabby Logan was put in to present, while former England captain Steph Houghton and Euro 2022 winner Ellen White also got the call up. Women's Super League commentator Seb Hutchinson was also selected. Plenty of fans switched from BBC to ITV's coverage on Sunday, with Arsenal legend and ex-England international Ian Wright being part of the latter's panel. The former Gunner went wild as England saw off Spain from the spot, with England's stars following suit and partying until the early hours afterwards. The Lionesses beat La Roja 3-1 on penalties after the game ended 1-1 after extra time.

I moaned at my neighbour for his security camera looking into my garden & he add ANOTHER one -it feels like Big Brother

DO you think you've got neighbours from hell? Well, prepare to be stunned as a frustrated man gets candid on his latest 'creepy' ordeal. A stunned man from the UK has recently revealed that after relaxing in his garden, he noticed his neighbour had a security camera which was pointing directly into his outside space. 2 2 Annoyed with the ' nosy ' behaviour, the young man who posts online under the username 'Scooobz 13', confronted the guy next door. But much to his surprise, rather than simply move the camera or point it in another direction, his ' neighbour from hell' decided to install a second camera. Posting on social media, the content creator shared a short clip as he sat in his garden, giving his followers a close-up look at his neighbour's motion detector device. Alongside the clip, the man attached an audio that said: 'Ask our neighbour to respect our privacy - his solution? More surveillance. 'Welcome to the reality show I didn't sign up for.' Not only this, but the man, who feels like he's on Big Brother, then wrote: 'When you politely ask your neighbour not to film in your garden, so he naturally installs a second one.' As well as this, in another video, the man zoomed in on the security camera and asked: 'Is this weird or is it me? The only thing he can view is me in my garden.' As he showed off his outside area, which was being spied on by his neighbour, he fumed: 'Here I am, sat in my garden and look at that there - staring right at me.' The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ scoobz_13, has clearly left many gobsmacked, as in just three days, it has quickly racked up 99,100 views, 1,073 likes and 307 comments. Social media users were horrified by the neighbour's camera and many flocked to the comments to share their advice. Moment mystery 'neighbour from hell' stuffs POO through letterbox & smears paint stripper over cars in 'calculated' plot One person said: 'Report it to the police and council!' Another added: 'Call the police and ask them if you can do anything about it.' A third commented: 'Not on him reported and you could get damages for disturbing your peace.' As well as reporting the incident to the police and the council, others were eager to reveal recommendations on what to do in the meantime. The Top Five Reasons Neighbours Squabble One study by Compare the Market revealed the top reason British neighbour's argue Broken fences - top of the board was broken fences and whose responsibility it was to fix it Parking: one of the leading drivers of neighbour disputes, with 54.1 per cent of people having issues with people parking in front of their house, parking bay or driveway Trees - complaints about a neighbour's tree cracking your garden path was also common with nearly half of participants finding it frustrating Bin wars - outdoor bin etiquette continues to ignite the most furious debates between neighbours Nosy Neighbours - some people have their eyes and ears at the ready to have a peek causing problems for others One user advised: 'If it's a WiFi cam you can get a WiFi blocker.' A second penned: 'Use a mirror to reflect light into the lens." Whilst someone else wrote: 'Are they clothes lines going across the garden? If not, put one high up along the fence and hang sheets.'
