“It’s On With Alexa Chung”

Diane Kruger has had many great style moments since she started promoting “Inglourious Basterds”.

On the Alexa Chung show this week she opted for a laid back look which mixed downtown chic with feminine prints.

Her look included a cute Kimchi Blue black ditsy floral dress from Urban Outfitters, a cream Chanel flap bag and n.d.c. Sunday black boots.

“Late Show With David Letterman”

In a much improved look from the New York screening the previous night, Diane was picture perfect as she posed photographers outside “Letterman”.

She looked ultra chic wearing a black Chanel dress with a sheer yoke and sleeves.

The shoulders were accented with gold paillettes and the waist with ivory beads.

Jimmy Choo heels complete the look.

This look is definitely in the top 5 of her promo looks for me.

What do you think?

Despite being the human equivalent to a magpie and being instantly attracted to anything the sparkles, I’m not in love with Diane Kruger’s embellished Miu Miu mini dress as I don’t think it flatters her.

I feel like tugging the skirt down as it sits too high for my liking.

She completed her vixen look with bright red lips and black strappy heels.

Diane’s co-star Mélanie Laurent faired much better wearing a Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2009 Couture black ensemble.

The look consisted of a black pencil skirt, patent waist belt and a sheer halter top, which she lined from the runway version.

Black peep-toes and a black Christian Louboutin clutch completed the look.

Love the look, but I’m not at all crazy about her hair.

Michelle Monaghan looked outstanding wearing a navy blue Rachel Roy Resort 2010 dress with sculptural peaked shoulders.

The bold shoulder is not an easy look to pull off, but Michelle does with ease.

Manolo Blahnik white strappy sandals and a silver cuff complete the look.

Rachel Roy modified Spring 2009 strapless dress to become a spaghetti strapped taupe dress with a less revealing metallic neckline.

Her look is made more interesting with a chunky silver necklace from Michael Kors Fall 2009 collection.

I like designers like Rachel, Donatella Versace and recently Georgina Chapman who modify their own designs to make them more individual.  Take notes Mrs B.

I LOVE Agyness Deyn here.

For once the British model looks glamorous even though she’s wearing a Rocky Horror Show t-shirt.

There’s something about the neatness of her look that I’m drawn too. The sleek bob, the pencil skirt, the red Lulu Guinness lips clutch, her gold strappy Méchante of London’s ‘Elektra’ Rose python heels and the cleanliness of it all.

Not a hint of grunge in sight.

Alexa Chung’s style is not to my liking, but I do appreciate her shirt with a studded collar, plus her H&M skirt, but I can’t bare the greasy hair.

I don’t understand how greasy hair became so trendy.

Actress Julia Stiles looked smart and chic wearing a white satin dress, with an ivory criss cross detail that goes across her back.

She paired her dress with gold gladiator sandals and a white clutch.

Olivia Palermo bucked the short and sassy trend at this event and opted for a ruffled maxi Kate Moss for Topshop dress.

Although she does look elegant and she has added a pony tail to her trademark hairstyle, I can’t help feel a bit bored by her look.

The edgy New Yorker appears to have soften her look.

Melissa George made a huge statement wearing a bold red dress to this screening.

The star was very sophisticated in scarlet as she added black accessories including a studded peep-toes.

Eva Amurri where is your bra?

With twins like those they need support.

Emmanuelle Chriqui at least wore a bra, even though I can see it under her white Kain Label Pocket Tee.

Her electric blue clutch punches up her laid-back look.

Socialite Fabiola Beracasa channels her inner Victoria Beckham wearing a ridiculous headband whilst ruining her gorgeous plum Alexander Wang one-sleeve jersey dress.

With her newly plumped lips Lindsay Lohan walked the red carpet looking a disheveled mess, but then what’s new about that?

I’m sure the actress got many calls from Britney Spears last night, asking for her ratty extensions back.

I was not surprised you picked Queen Bee aka Leighton Meester as your Best Dressed this week. But I was surprised by how much she won the poll by.

It was a landslide victory. You guys really loved her Louis Vuitton striped dress with red Brian Atwood heels.

I don’t think anyone has ever won my such a large margin.

I picked Diane Kruger wearing her stunning Atelier Versace dress.

What I loved about this dress is that it’s something we have never seen before.

No stripes, No ruffles, No floral prints…it’s totally unique.  Made completely from coloured crystals.

This Atelier Versace Fall 2009 preview has left me hungry for more, and wondering how Diane was able to sit in this dress.

Sorry if this feels like a repost but I was kindly sent the sketch of Diane Kruger’s Atelier Versace Fall 2009 dress and I just had to share.

Looking at the sketch I would say this dress was designed with both Diane and Kate Bosworth in mind.

I can’t wait to see the rest of the Atelier Versace Fall 2009 collection. I’m sure we’ll be drooling over it like the previous collections.

If you see this anywhere else, you know where it came from.

If I pick up one more magazine or read one more blog stating that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are splitting up, I think I’ll tear my hair out.

What do these two have to do to prove how much in love they are with each other, other than mount each other on the red carpet.

Grazia’s headline today is “Angelina’s horror at Brad’s night with ex.” I’m sure you are rolling you eyes like I am.

Mr & Mrs ‘We’re Way Too Genetically Blessed’ put those rumour to bed - for now - looking very much in love on the red carpet last night for the LA premiere of “Inglourious Basterds”.

They were hugging, hold hands and his hand was place on her leather clad butt, as they whipped the crowds and paparazzi into a frenzy.

Sporting lighter locks and wearing minimal make-up, Angelina looked gorgeous wearing a black Michael Kors Fall 2009 black leather strapless dress which had a small pockets on the hips, with two tone Christian Dior heels.

This look reminds me of the sexy leather Versace dress Angelina wore to the Mr & Mrs Smith LA premiere back in 2005.

If the dress looks familiar, that’s because it’s the leather version of fuchsia pink dress Blake Lively wore to the CFDA Awards.

I love the picture below were Angelina and Brad Pitt are genuinely star struck to meet the legendary actor Sidney Poitier.

Diane Kruger was up against the mighty power that is Brangelina, but she didn’t fade into the background.

The star stole the red carpet wearing Atelier Versace backless dress.

Her Fall 2009 couture black silk satin mini dress was completely embroidered with black glass fringes finished in degrade of ruby, grenas, amethyst and sapphire coloured crystals.

Her hair was swept up as she paired her dress with a Versace clutch and heels for this breath-taking look.

Can she make it two for two for Best Dressed Of The Week?

Maria Menounos wore a beautiful Haute Hippie Fall 2009 peach dress with an asymmetrical detail decorated with a sequined panel, which I think looks very similar to a dress presented during the Missoni Spring 2008 collection.

Nude sandals and a complementary silver Nancy Gonzalez clutch complete her look.

Christina Ricci looked amazing wearing a red vintage Azzedine Alaia tight fitted dress covered in spots.

Striking a fierce pose the actress wore Christian Louboutin ‘Bianca’ pumps and carried a black leather clutch.

Is it me or is she glowing?

I’m loving that rich auburn hair colour.

Jessica Lowndes wore a cute paisley print sweetheart neckline mini dress with gold strappy sandals, but the dress seems very tight on her bust.

Silver and gold together make me cringe, so I don’t like her choice of clutch either.

The bridesmaid finally becomes the bride.

After weeks of being the runner-up on the Best Dressed of the Week polls, Diane Kruger finally wins wearing a stunning red Marchesa one-shoulder mini dress.

Any other week I would have picked Diane as well, but Sienna’s run was so impressive promoting “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” she couldn’t be over looked.

Her gorgeous shimmering YSL gown was very much the cherry on her sundae of many wow moments this week.

Drew Barrymore and Zoe Saldana have both had outstanding promotional tours this year, but Sienna has outshone them in my opinion.

I can’t see anyone out doing Sienna’s efforts this year. But then I thought the same for Drew and Zoe.

Red appears to be the colour of the moment as Diane Kruger looked exquisite on the red carpet for the “Inglourious Basterds” Sydney Premiere today wearing a one shoulder silk draped Marchesa Resort 2010 dress.

The German model-turned-actress lent some much-needed glamour to the occasion pairing her dress with Christian Louboutin sparkling heels.

The dress appears to be shorten from the runway version, which I really suits her and shows off her toned legs.

Her hair was swept to one-side and the make up was kept very light. No red lipstick as I would’ve expected.

Diane was immaculately groomed making her 2 for 2 on the Best Dressed of The Week list and it’s only Monday afternoon.

Where was Brad? He was seen out with Angelina and the kids in LA treating them to McDonalds.
