Diane Kruger in rich, velvet Alberta Ferretti in Venice: gorgeous or wrong season?
You know what? I love this dress. I just think it’s wrong for the Venice Film Festival in the beginning of September. These are pics of Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger at the Jaeger-LeCoultre Gala Dinner at the Venice Film Festival last night. The event celebrated 180 years of Jaeger-LeCoultre and (I suspect) Diane picks up a nice paycheck once or twice a year to attend these big gala events for this particular brand. To get back to her Alberta Ferretti dress… I love velvet. I love that this looks like high-quality, expensive velvet. I love the deep aubergine color. I’m okay with the cut, mostly because I think the sleeves are well-executed. But it’s just the wrong time to wear the dress. This is a dress for a December or January event in NYC, not September in Venice.
Diane is also featured in this month’s InStyle Magazine, where she talks about her skin care and how she stops guzzling wine so her skin will look better:
Diane Kruger wasn’t ”blessed with great skin”. The stunning model-and-actress reveals that she used to suffer from rosacea – a skin condition which causes red splotching on the face and spots – and now takes even greater care to maintain her glowing skin, such as abstaining from alcohol.
She explained: ”I wasn’t blessed with great skin. I used to have rosacea and had to quit smoking to get rid of it. I still struggle with under-eye circles. It’s all about discipline and finding products that are right for you. ‘I’ve noticed my skin looks better when I don’t drink, so I stopped for six weeks before the Cannes Film Festival. It did me wonders. I slept better than ever. It kind of sucked, though, because I enjoy a glass of wine.”
The 37-year-old beauty was recently named the face of Chanel’s skincare beauty product line, however, she admits she still isn’t fully confident about her appearance.
She added to the new issue of US InStyle magazine: ”You can be the most beautiful woman in the world and still find something that bugs you. I’ve learned how to highlight the things I like and minimize or hide the things I don’t.”
The alcohol thing is probably true, although weaning yourself off of the “nightcap” used to help you sleep is always difficult. I used to have a regular nightcap, which I always used as a way of getting to sleep. When I stopped drinking (for diet/get my life together reasons), I had a rough transition which included bouts of insomnia, but it did pass. And Diane is right – it’s not just that my sleep is easier now, I actually wake up feeling rested, as opposed to hungover and tired and dehydrated.
Also: Joshua broke his foot! But he still wanted to walk the carpet with his girl. JUST HAVE A BABY. You know you want to.
