If anyone was omnipresent at the recent Paris couture shows, it was Diane Kruger. The stunning German actress attended seemingly every show and A-list dinner, clad in the respective house’s wares, natch. But it was at the SIDACTION AIDS Gala dinner at the end of the week that I thought she truly shined. Not only did Diane wear Chanel, she wore Chanel Haute Couture straight off the Spring 2011 runway. What’s more, the dress she chose was my favorite cocktail number in the entire collection! Great minds must think alike. While I thought the shoes and bag were a big harsh for the
pink silk tiered dress with jeweled buttons (I get that perhaps she was trying to stay consistent with the black satin sash), I do love the dress itself. The tiers of pink remind me of beautiful bands of grosgrain ribbon–and those jeweled buttons down the front are so modern! And note the extra cut-outs positioned underneath the arm–they reveal just enough skin to give an otherwise prim LPD an extra dose of sex appeal. This, I think, is a dress any Couture Snob would be proud to own and wear.
