Brandon Maxwell: A Celebrity Favorite for Show-Stopping Style
Diane Kruger isn’t alone in loving Brandon Maxwell’s structured designs. Celebs like Kerry Washington and Karlie Kloss have also rocked his signature looks on the red carpet!
For instance, Kerry Washington turned heads at the Disney Upfront event in a burgundy leather Brandon Maxwell drop-waist dress paired with Alexandre Vauthier gold heels, creating an elongated silhouette that accentuated her stature.
Similarly, Karlie Kloss showcased her friendship with the designer by donning a chic ruffled Brandon Maxwell mini dress at the Whitney Art Party, complemented by classic black Giuseppe Zanotti pumps.
To give the outfit a burst of color, the National Treasure actress accessorized with a pink Prada clutch and slipped her feet into a pair of The Attico “Venus” blue satin pumps. Chrissy Teigen styled leopard print The Attico “Venus” pumps with Citizens of Humanity jeans a few months earlier.

Diane Kruger dazzled on the red carpet, but her fiancé, Norman Reedus, was noticeably absent. Instead, he made headlines for his impulsive shopping sprees.
Norman Reedus’ Impulsive Shopping Habits: From Midnight Purchases to Buying a House
Missing from the occasion was her fiancé Norman Reedus, a “mad midnight shopper.”
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! earlier that month, Diane revealed that The Walking Dead actor once bought a house in California without her permission.

“We drove by [the house], he was dropping me off at a table read actually for Swimming With Sharks, and you know, it was a Sunday—you know how those houses are open and you can just walk in. We looked at it, it was pretty, but we live in New York, by the way,” she told Jimmy.
“So, then he drops me off and I come out of my table read and there’s like 50 messages that start with, ‘I love that house. I stayed another hour. What do you think?’”
“Next message, ‘Should we move to California? I don’t know… I think just for a kid it would be so nice. How about we make an offer? You know what? I made an offer. We got the house.’”
Norman bought the said Medieval-style house in March 2020 for $8.5 million, only for them to put it back on the market just over a year later in June 2021 for $9.25 million.
When asked if Norman makes impulsive buys regularly, Diane said, “Yes. I call him like a mad midnight shopper because like the most obscure objects show up the next day—like weird balls to massage his feet, toothbrushes, a house, nine motorcycles.”
Diane Kruger’s psychedelic swirl-print mini dress is part of a larger trend—A-listers are embracing retro-inspired prints. Another celebrity who made headlines with a similarly bold fashion moment is Drew Barrymore, who stunned in a $25 vintage thrifted dress that echoed the same vibrant energy.
Drew Barrymore Rocks $25 Thrifted Dress on Red Carpet, Leaving Fashion World Stunned!
Can you believe that the retro printed shimmery dress on Drew Barrymore is actually just $25?
Yup, just that for a red carpet dress. She wore it to the Nylon and Express Denim Issue Party in August 2010. This shows that this lovely A-lister does not care about price tags. Her pumps are from YSL, so technically, this picture is a perfect example of a celeb mixing high and low fashion.

She bought the dress from a thrift store in Austin. It has that vintage and retro vibe, and I love how she wore it with a Bardot-inspired hairstyle. With its beautiful psychedelic print and shimmery feel, plus the fact that Drew is wearing it, it’s so easy to forget that the dress is just $25!
Just one year earlier, Rachel Zoe wore an almost identical Janine open-back printed vintage dress:
