We figured Diane Kruger would waltz out in one of Chanel’s spring/summer 2013 looks, but I didn’t predict it would be this one.
It is, perhaps more predictably, bereft of the ball-bearing wreaths that adorned the model’s various elongated bits. In fact, she’s gone very simple with the shoes and accessories. But I don’t think I like it sitting so low on her chest that it squishes it. “Melons” is just supposed to be a tacky slang term. You don’t actually have to squeeze them to prove they’re ripe.

Love Diane, but this is not good.
I didn’t realize that bathroom tile was a fashion statement.
Bathroom tile glued to a bath towel. “Bathroom” is not a good theme for the RC.
^ this.
FUNNY ! Diane is so lovely and she does have a sense of style but this doesn’t flatter her at all.
Hahahaha, I was going to comment to say exactly this. Now I see I don’t need to!
YEEEEEEEEEEES re bathroom tile comment!
First thing I thought!! Bathroom tiles!
Needs hoisting.
Accessories/styling look a bit last minute. Gorgeous skin.
It looks like a really fancy bath towel. On both of them.
NO. This is a shapeless mess. It looks like she rolled in grout and wrapped her bathroom floor around herself. I wish there was something to look at–shoes or jewelry or something…although her face is a great accessory. Pacey did good.
I don’t like either. Too boxy.
You know how at Home Depot they have the tile squares that come in 12×12 sheets? Yeah, the same tile sheets were used to make this dress that I used in my bathroom.
Ill pass.
It’s actually kind of great on the model. It just is terrible on Kruger. I honestly did not think I would see the day when Kruger could not rock an outfit. Lesson learned: Anything is possible.
Does her face not say it all? Underwhelmed … And yes, amys, a good hoick up would improve it.
Diana’s looks like it was made from duct tape.
None of the dresses from that collection were made for anyone with any kind of boobs. They just aren’t cut for anyone above a size zero with a chest. It’s a gorgeous dress, just not while anyone is wearing it. If La Kruger can’t pull it off, no one can.
The dress is a shapeless bag, although the pattern and fabric are interesting. Give it a hoist, some semblance of a waist, and some accessories and I’m on board.
Yes, it’s a bag, my thoughts exactly, Jerkygirl. All it needs is burlap fabric.
I heartily concur. There’s something salvageable in the bag /sheet of tiles / roll down blind she’s got on. Hoik it up, add a belt, Bob’s your uncle.
Saw a different shot of her in this, and it makes her look big where I know she isn’t. Not the least bit flattering.
If it were floor length and a full fledged gown i would love it
Oh, love the idea of the floor length gown. Otherwise, I like the pattern but not the shape and hate how it’s sitting on her.
What I liked about the runway version WAS the ball jewelry. Diane is a stick, and yet this makes her look thick in the middle because there is no definition to the shape of the dress. I guess it had to be made like a box since looks to be made out of tile. Like a Project Runway challege at Home Depot.
Huge miss for me. It’s a shapeless sack that does nothing for figure and even she looks like she knows it.
Not only is it not flattering to the melons, as you put it, but it makes her look stumpy. She is so pretty, and I think she can pull off so many outfits that most of us can’t, but this is a no.
It’s a sequined sack.
“Like” being a relative term, I “like” the runway version better because it fits better in the chest region and, strangely, because of the necklace/bracelets. But I don’t really like either of them. It looks like she is wearing tile. Literally a bathroom backslash. It has just as much movement.
Miss! It looks like a tiled towel she wrapped around after her shower.
If your dress doesn’t flatter a runway model OR Diane effing Kruger, you’re doing it wrong.
Amen. Fancy tablecloth.
It would look a helluva lot better if it fit her properly. And while the ball-bearings weren’t great, this dress needs some kind of something between the top of it and her chin.
It will always look better on flesh than on bones. Kruger rocks !
It looks like she’s wearing a sack made of kitchen tile.
Only the tallest, skinniest models can wear a CYLINDER DRESS. Diane is short and has hourglass porportions, and the dress has taken her on an unexpected trip to Stumpytown.
It looks like it was made from the material they use to line swimming pools. Not a good look, unless you’re trying to go incognito at a pool party or something.
I will echo FugNation in saying that the main problem with this dress is that it has no shape. I take that back, it has a shape, and it’s a pillow case. Diae Kruger has a kick ass bod, and you can barely tell the woman has a waist in this. I think a belt or, you know, actual TAILORING would make a huge difference here.
Is she wearing black leather shoes with this?
Narrow glass bathroom tiles that frame the sink vanity..? Seriously..
looks like both a bath towel and bath tiles.
This basically kills all her curves. Gorgeous woman, awful dress.
I love diane!! But it looks better on the model.. I think you need to be super tall & skinny to wear this or else you look stumpy
this looks like it came out of the hardware store challenge on Project Runway.”It only took three different types of electrical tape!”
Or two kinds of electrical tape, and duct tape!
I’m generally 50/50 on liking/hating what she wears, but I’ve never seen anything actually make her look dumpy and stumpy before. This is awful. I’d say hike it up a bit at the top and put a belt in the middle, but I can’t imagine whatever the heck that’s made out of would belt well.
I think she looks FABULOUS!
Cute handbag.
You really need to be built like a runway model to wear that, i.e be over 6′ tall.
The fabric is pretty, but that’s a really unflattering box of a dress, both on Diane and on the runway.
When your clothing makes Diane Kruger look shapeless, you need to go back to the drawing board.
Yep, bathroom tiles here too. You gotta wonder if Karl likes women at all.
Could someone please bring back hosiery!!!!!!?????
Not all legs should go bareback.
