Diane Kruger had all eyes on her at the third annual Vogue World fashion event in Paris on Sunday, June 23. Given the magnitude of the fashion event, I wouldn’t expect anything less from Kruger, whose style and glamour have won over many admirers. And just as expected, she delivered.
She was joined on the red carpet by her fiancé, Norman Reedus, who dressed in his typical cool, laid-back style. He paired a black short-sleeved shirt with black trousers and oxford shoes.

2024 Vogue World: A Blend of Style and Athleticism
Established in 2022 with the goal of “[bringing] together the fashion industry in a spirit of creativity to celebrate a host city,” Vogue World has become a covetable social gathering.
This year’s edition, held at the Place Vendôme—known for its elegant and fashionable atmosphere—honors Paris’ artistic heritage and rich history while commemorating the ties between sports and French fashion that have existed for over a century, dating back to the 1920s.
Like the Met Gala, Vogue World is a philanthropic endeavor. This year’s ticket proceeds will benefit Secours Populaire Français (French Popular Relief), a non-profit that works to meet the needs of the next generation of athletes by providing equipment to young, aspiring athletes around France.

A crowd of fashion-forward celebs graced the event, showcasing their wide range of styles, but Diane Kruger was one of the few that caught my attention.
The 47-year-old actress has long struck me as one of the most stylish women in the industry. Her exquisite, often youthful, and edgy aesthetic never fails to turn heads. But what I adore most is how unique and unpredictable her style is.
Embracing the Roaring ’20s in Nina Ricci
The mom-of-one accentuated her slim figure in a daring see-through outfit consisting of a sheer lace halterneck bodysuit, floral-lace fishnet stockings, and a pinstripe miniskirt. This created the illusion of a three-piece ensemble that leaned toward the more relaxed and revealing style of the 1920s.
I initially thought she was wearing a lace catsuit, but as I looked closer, I could see that her stockings and bodice had different floral lace patterns. I also wasn’t sure if the pinstripe miniskirt was integrated into the lace set, but it would be interesting if it did.
I love how the halterneck bodice highlights her stunning form and toned arms, with a cleavage-baring plunging neckline, a keyhole cutout, and an open back. The navy-blue pinstripe skirt, meanwhile, resembles an office pencil skirt but is shorter and has a chic ruffle detailing down the side.

British-American fashion designer Harris Reed designed the ensemble for Nina Ricci’s Fall 2024 ready-to-wear collection, his third season for the Parisian fashion house.
This season’s collection, which refines the brand’s signature architectural forms and crisp tailoring, features pieces designed to reveal or conceal. “I think I can confidently say, hate or love it, this is the Nina woman for me in 2024,” Harris told Vogue of his collection.
“She is this fierce French woman from an outside perspective, but that’s what makes it me and makes it hopefully special.”

Minimal But Stunning Accessories
While the ensemble doesn’t align with my preferences, I love her choice of accessories, which I can totally wear. She was styled by Harry Lambert, whose clientele includes Becky G, Alexa Chung, Emilia Clarke, and Sienna Miller.
Let’s start with the pillbox hat with fishnet veil. Doesn’t it evoke the era of the Roaring Twenties? Though it’s not something I could wear daily, I adore the glitz it adds to the look. It even seems to be gaining popularity after Demi Moore sported one at the FYC event for Feud: Capote vs. The Swans.
Regarding her jewelry, Kruger secured a pair of gold heart-shaped drop earrings to her ears and adorned her black-manicured hands with her huge square-cut diamond engagement ring from Reedus.
Everything would have been perfect if she hadn’t stood before the guards wearing pillbox caps. Still, her presence was apparent.

Now, on to the shoes. These ultra-glossy patent leather pumps may seem basic, but the heels lend an interesting element to the overall look.
They have gold-tone metal heels adorned with a sculptural bow accent, adding a contemporary feminine flair to the femme-fatale ensemble.

Vintage Glamour to Match
Not even the veil could hide Kruger’s stunning beauty. She wore vibrant red makeup, adding to her appearance’s vintage grandeur. Smokey red eyeshadow with a hint of brown shade and shimmering glitters brought out her blue eyes.
Joshua Jackson’s ex dusted her cheeks with a rosy blush, creating a flushed look, and then finished the glam with bright red lipstick.
Hairstylist Yoann Fernandez gave Diane’s blonde hair a gentle wave effect that heightened the ensemble’s 1920s glamour.
