Dress Just Like Diane Kruger in 4 Easy Steps
There are few celebrities who are as consistently well turned-out as Diane Kruger. Though the German beauty has a modeling contract with Chanel and appears in a deliberately curated mix of adventure films and Oscar winners, it is her effortless style that truly captures the public's attention. She is, after all, a model, and captures the insouciant, avant-garde style of her industry in ever red carpet moment, and each street style ensemble the paparazzi catch her rocking in her spare time.
Kruger meticulously chooses silhouettes that flatter her figure, relying on pieces which are fitted without approaching body con status. Her ensembles often consist of haute couture elements mixed with classic pieces or traditional prints. And it simply wouldn't be a Kruger look without a signature offbeat detail, whether it be a menswear-inspired watch or a fierce studded clutch.
When Kruger hit the red carpet for the Paley Center For Media's presentation of The Bridge on Wednesday, the actress's unabashedly glamorous style was on display in full force, from her Roland Mouret ensemble down to her yellow suede pumps. So if you're craving a bit of Old Hollywood style with a modern twist this summer, read on for four essential items you'll need to capture Diane Kruger's look. Dawson's Creek boyfriend and beachy, sun-kissed locks not included.
