Diane Kruger in a Vionnet ink-stained doily: cute or fug?

We should celebrate Diane Kruger today. I think this is longest she’s ever gone without exposing her biscuits on a red carpet. I feel like it’s been months and months since I’ve looked at photos of Kruger in some minidress where her German biscuits are being “aired out” – congrats, Diane! These are photos of Diane and her adorable lover Joshua Jackson at last night’s Paris event for Jaeger-Lecoultre Reverso (which was the same event Clive Owen attended, and where he wrote to us). Diane is the “face” of the watch, so it’s obvious that she needed to be there. Her dress is Vionnet Fall 2011 – on the runway, the top part was unlined and lace. I might have preferred that runway look to this little-old-lady mess. It looks like an ink-soaked doily.

By the way, I do read the comments (most of the time), so I know that there’s a growing movement to re-introduce hosiery to red carpet situations. I agree that not everyone should wander around, bare legged, at all times. But I associate the need for hosiery with weather – when it’s cold, I expect to see ladies wearing tights or panty hose, but in the summer, I’m fine with everyone being bare-legged. Can we agree – pro and anti-hosiery people alike – that Diane Kruger is doing hosiery the wrong way? Black hose with this little old lady dress simply increases the “dowdy” factor, plus it’s almost July. Her German biscuits might be sweaty. And no matter who you are or what season it is, I always consider it a fashion catastrophe to wear hose with open-toed shoes or sandals. That’s just wrong.

Joshua looks really nice, though. He seems kind of “over” escorting his lady everywhere, but he still shows up for her, which is nice.
