32 Diane Kruger Red Carpet Moments That Are Fabulously Kooky, Because She's A Self-Styled Inspiration
It's a truth universally acknowledged that Diane Kruger is the best self-styled movie star in the world. I mean, can you think of anyone else — let alone anyone else sans stylist — out there who dresses with as much consistently on-point flair as she does? She's never been one to shy away from tricky silhouettes, out-there prints, or downright kooky design concepts — and it's always worked out in her favor. After all, her superlative festival style puts her right on a level with other international fashion queens the likes of Cate Blanchett, Lupita Nyong'o, and Zhang Ziyi.
So, with that in mind, let's take a look at some of her biggest off-the-wall successes — sure, she knows how to rock the classic red carpet princess look as well as any — but it's her fun, avant garde, and ever-so-slightly eccentric sensibilities that have really put her on the map as a style icon.
