Sometimes I wonder if I should just rename this blog Diane Kruger Style Blog and call it a day. As much as I try to scale back on Diane photos, I can never resist – she’s just so damn stylish!
Anyway…here’s Diane and Pacey Joshua Jackson at a Prabal Gurung event in LA, looking impossibly cool and sexy. Love them, that is all. Basically, this post was just an excuse to publish yet another adorable photo of my fave Hollywood couple. Enjoy!

This year’s Met Gala theme was “PUNK: Chaos to Couture”, and since so many of the celebs in attendance nailed it, I couldn’t simply post my fave looks and be done with it. This time, I chose to bring you not only my fave looks, but also the runners-up, and the headscratchers all in one post.
Let’s start with my faves. I loved the ornate Dolce and Gabbana dress on Katy Perry, the grand headpiece on SJP, the elegant Margiela on Gwen Stefani, the stunning, but decidedly NOT punk Givenchy gown on Rooney Mara, and an orange moomoo-like goodness on Ashley Olsen. None of those looks screamed punk to me, but I found these dresses to be interesting, fashion-forward, and gorgeous too. Well, SJP’s panty-flashing Giles gown wasn’t exactly my type, but if anyone could’ve pulled it off it’s her.
Apart from my top 5, I enjoyed so many other looks! From Giovanna Battaglia gilded head-to-toe goodness, to Solange Knowles looking lovely in a Kenzo gown that was perhaps a tad too casual for the Met, but beautiful nonetheless, to Emma Watson in a very sexy Prabal Gurung…there was no shortage of fashion porn at this year’s gala. Some celebs decided to don simple LBDs to the event, which in my opinion was a total waste (I’m looking at you, Michelle Williams), but others made up for it with punk hair (Miley Cyrus), and studs galore (looking gorgeous, Sienna Miller!).
All in all, I loved this year’s fashion offerings. I hate wading through a million photos of boring outfits, and this year there weren’t too many.
So now it’s your turn! Which celebs brought their A-game to the 2013 Costume Institute Gala, and which crashed and burned? Share your opinions in the comments!

What is it about Coachella that makes me drool with envy? Is it the promise of hot desert sun, great bands, and fun fashion? That must be it.
This past weekend, a ton of celebs headed down to Indio, California, and brought their A-game, when it came to style. Katy Perry strutted around wearing a revealing Dolce and Gabbana two-piece, and a whimsical purse. Alexa Chung stuck to her signature style by donning a black and white Wednesday Addams mini dress, while Kate Bosworth looked amazing in a scalloped tank and shorts. My favourite Hollywood couple (Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson) also made an appearance, looking cute and stylish as always, as did Solange, in a pretty pink floral skirt.
Do you get excited about Coachella style snaps? Which celeb’s outfit do you like the most? Share in the comments.

This Lovers + Friends dress on Olivia Munn is all kinds of perfect! Or is it just me? The print is definitely not for everyone, as it’s loud and busy, but since I love loud and busy, this is right up my alley. I also adore the back of this dress, and the high neckline…and the fact that I could probably eat a full meal and not feel like my dress is trying to kill me. You know?
If you are a lucky size XS, you can pre-order this beauty of a maxi HERE, the rest of us will have to wait, which is fine, I suppose…since it’s freaking freezing outside. Is it April, or February? I can never tell.

Who rule the world? Apparently, Beyoncé does. After a crazy-amazing year in the spotlight, Queen Bey is not ready to slow down her world domination. This time, she has her sights set on H&M’s affordable summer fashion. Starring in the brand’s summer ad campaign, Beyoncé will be seen frolicking on the beach, showing off her toned body in H&M swimwear.
“I’ve always liked H&M’s focus on fun affordable fashion. I really loved the concept we collaborated on to explore the different emotions of women represented by the four elements – fire, water, earth and wind,” said Bey. “It was a beautiful shoot on a tropical island. It felt more like making a video than a commercial.”
And while the entire campaign titled Beyoncé as Mrs Carter in H&M is not yet out, we do have this sneak peek photo to satiate our curiosity.
So, what do you think about this collab? Is this a smart move for Beyoncé? Would you rather see a Solange for H&M collab instead? Actually…that’s not a bad idea. Dearest, H&M, can you please make that happen? In the meantime, I’ll stay tuned for more images from Beyoncé as Mrs Carter in H&M.

Have you ever wondered how celebs end up choosing what to wear to those big award shows and movie premieres? Well, for the most part, you should praise (or blame) their stylist.The latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter features the 25 Most Powerful Stylists, photographed with some of their famous celeb clients, and I am both fascinated and obsessed.
Not surprisingly, the top stylists like Leslie Fremar (clients: Julianne Moore, Charlize Theron, Scarlett Johansson), Petra Flannery (clients: Emma Stone, Zoe Saldana, Mila Kunis, Megan Fox, Claire Danes), Rachel Zoe (clients: Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Hudson), Kate Young (Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz, Natalie Portman), and Elizabeth Stewart (clients: Jessica Chastain, Amanda Seyfried, Cate Blanchett, Frieda Pinto) all have lengthy roasters of A-list celebs eager to be dressed by these talented and savvy pros.
For me, however, this year’s Most Awesome Stylist Award (just made it up) goes to Erin Walsh (#9 on the list), who dressed Kerry Washington on this year’s award and premiere circuit – hitting it out of the ballpark with every single outfit. “I feel like Erin and I are fashion twins that were separated at birth. We definitely like to think outside the box,” shared Washington with the magazine.
This article did make me wonder what those “uber-stylish” celebs would wear without the help of their trusted stylists. Would Cate Blanchett wear socks and sandals? Would Zoe Saldana wear leggings as pants? Can you imagine? The horror!

It’s no secret that I adore Diane Kruger, so seeing my fave Style Fille on the cover of a Canadian mag really perked up my day. Thanks, Flare Magazine for this awesome shoot and cover. What a huge improvement in cover girl material too! Classy all the way.
Also, I now have an even HUGER (yes, I am making this a word) crush on Diane, seeing how she’s a cat lady, just like me. She even brought her cat Hobbes to her photo shoot. Adorable, non? Needless to say, I can’t wait to pick up this issue as soon as it hits the stands.

I don’t know about you, but I love The Hunger Games! Read the books obsessively without being able to put them down, and have been waiting for the sequel for what feels like FOREVER! Well, today, I saw these amazing Capitol Couture portraits of Katniss, Effie, Johanna, and Caesar, all clad in very glam outfits, with Effie actually wearing an Alexander McQueen gown! Are we supposed to pretend that Cinna designed these? If so…great job, Cinna!
What do you think about these haute portraits of some of our fave characters? Are you getting excited for Catching Fire? Share in the comments.

I just can’t…I mean, this dress…this dress should not have happened to Melissa McCarthy. Period. It’s shapeless, unflattering, and so UGLY. HOW could a dress like this find its way onto Melissa’s body? And with that big poofy hair, this entire look is just horrendous. I love Melissa McCarthy, and while I realize that she’s a curvy woman, there HAD to have been better options that this sad excuse for a dress. Sorry, Melissa, but you are the worst-dressed star of the night. Time to let that stylist go.
Next up – Anne Hathaway, paying homage to Gwyneth Paltrow’s infamous pink taffeta Oscars dress. I have to say that this one is probably more flattering…but not really. I mean, just look at all those lumps, wrinkles…and lumps? That colour doesn’t do much for her, and while I love her hair and makeup, the rest of her look is a big NO. You can’t tell me that this Prada dress is the best she could do! I guarantee you, Anne-Oscar-Nominee-Winner-Hathaway had access to the best of the best, and this is what she went with. Disappointing.

While many were declaring Charlize Theron and Jennifer Lawrence their best-dressed, and while I totally can see where they were coming from, I wasn’t a fan. They looked fab, BUT…in my opinion, Naomi Watts killed it! I mean, just look at her in that stunning Armani Privé gown! The neckline is complicated, but doesn’t overwhelm her, the dress fits like a glove, but isn’t too tight, her accessories are understated, and her hair and makeup – perfection. THIS is how you do the Oscars!
The rest of my list includes Alicia Vikander in an intricate pastel Elie Saab gown (look at that face!), Kerry Washington (who is my new Diane Kruger) in an embellished Miu Miu number despite the fact that it didn’t look as good in photos as it did on TV, Jennifer Hudson in a sequined blue Roberto Cavalli dress, and Jennifer Garner (I know, I’m surprised too!) in a ruffled Gucci number with a stunning statement necklace.
So what about you? Who were your best-dressed? Discuss in the comments!
