ANNA NICOLE SMITH arrived looking "courtroom ready" and very chic as she walked the steps to the Supreme Court -- as part of her on-going bid to inherit a portion of her late elderly husband's fortune.
The legal matter dates back to 1995 when Smith's husband of 14 months, oil tycoon J. HOWARD MARSHALL II, passed away, leaving a fortune of nearly $2 billion behind.
Smith was originally awarded $474 million by a federal bankruptcy judge, only to have the amount later reduced by a federal district judge. Eventually, a federal appeals court threw out the entire case on jurisdictional grounds. The Supreme Court will now hear arguments to determine if Smith can continue to seek a part of Marshall's fortune and whether the decision will be made by a state or federal court.
