I love this look so much. It might honestly be my favorite look of the night. Even if you remove Pacey from the equation (NOT THAT WE’D EVER).

At first, this made me all eye-rolly.
But at least it’s not AS costumey as Hailee Steinfeld’s ensemble, and the pattern might be good… you know, maybe it’s better that both of them went twee with it. Maybe the only way to sell a collar that massive is to go full I’m The Cover Of A Young Adult Book About A Girl Who Goes To Boarding School And Ends Up Finding Baguettes, Berets, and A Boyfriend. Like the opening of The Mary Tyler Moore Show except she’d be flinging her hat up next to the Eiffel Tower and twirling a wheel of brie.

Don’t worry. Pacey makes an appearance. Even if he does kind of look — as one of you wisely noted to us on Twitter (take credit for this, and credit I shall give you) — “like an expensive homeless person.”

Empirically, taken straight-up, to me this is fugly.
The bodice doesn’t even fit, and well, the rest of it is just an ode to chafing. But the way Diane Kruger styled her hair, like an old-school pin-up girl, gives it a costumey flair that might actually work — only because she is who she is, and has the waist and the face that she has. Ergo, I’m giving this a thumbs-down on its own merits but a thumbs sideways, maybe even sneaking upward, for the fact that probably ONLY Diane Kruger could even CONCEIVABLY make this work, and indeed, she gave it the best try. Now somebody please free her pelvis. Paging Pacey?

Men, shmen! Dresses are more fun. We’ll get to the suits eventually, but whatever the hell Diane Kruger is wearing — plus the absurd raft of other famous people in questionable outfits — is more important right now.

Fug or Fab: Diane Kruger
So many thoughts:
a) My suspicion that she was quite knocked up at the Oscars appears to be wrong. I fear I have lost my Celebrity Bump Whispering Skillz, which clearly is a loss of gigantic proportions. I need to hang on to all my obscure and slightly creepy skills so as to most smoothly transition into being a Deeply Eccentric Old Woman
b) I had no idea Diane Kruger was in The Host, and AS I WAS TYPING THIS SENTENCE an ad featuring her in it popped up on my television. Maybe I can no longer foretell the contents of the internal organs of strangers, but I can use The Secret to play ads on my DVR. STILL ECCENTRIC!
c) Let’s get real. This shirt is ABSURD. It looks like an accident. It is WRONG.
d) And yet, it’s possible she is working this because she has that magical Diane Kruger thing where she’s all, “yeah, I’m wearing a child’s uniform shirt IS IT NOT CHIC?” that 87% of the rest of humanity can’t manage to rustle up when faced with a boxy cropped white oxford.
