Winona Ryder was arrested #winonaryder #strangerthings #elevenhopper #edit #strangerthings5

In 2001, Winona Ryder was arrested in Beverly Hills for shoplifting clothing worth about $5,000 from the Saks Fifth Avenue boutique. The stolen items included pieces from well-known brands, including Marc Jacobs. The court case in 2002 ended with her conviction for grand theft and vandalism. She received probation, a fine, and community service, but intense media attention turned the trial into a major public spectacle. The incident left a lasting impression on designer Marc Jacobs. A few years later, he invited Ryder to become the face of his advertising campaigns. This marked the beginning of a long professional and personal collaboration, showing how a public scandal can be reinterpreted and transformed.
