Fashion Flashback: Diane Kruger

January 1, 2011

This Dior Couture dress that Diane Kruger wore to the Venice Film Festival in 2008 instantly became a favorite.  I love the contrast of the ladylike silhouette with the sexy sheer quality.  She wore the original runway gown and has been quoted saying she could hardly breathe, let alone eat.  Beauty is pain, right?

    I remember being blown away when I originally saw this! I love the seam running down the arms and the modern take on embroidery. The bows on the shoes just complete the picture perfectly.

    I love how dangerous a fashion choice this was and just how incredibly she pulls it off. Stunning combination.

    So beautiful! The whole look (hair, makeup) is gorgeous.

    By the way, I’m so so excited for Matchbook’s launch. When exactly is the launch?
