SANTA BARBARA SWEET

Posted Oct 23 2009 @ 06:19 PM

Appearing on the red carpet after a noticeable absence, Diane Kruger was looking like her gorgeous self at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on October 22 at the Biltmore Four Seasons Hotel in Santa Barbara, CA. Arriving in a heavily Karl Lagerfeld influenced 'fit, Di paired a chic LBD (like C&C California's Nicolette Dress in Black or Suzabelle's Noir Knit Dress in Black) with black and white tuxedo ankle boots with flirty bow tie finishes. Love the elegant chain strap purse (like Danielle Nicole's Kristi Clutch in Black Patent/Lamb) and simple bracelet (add a little femme touch with Queen Baby by King Baby Studio's Rose Motif Bracelet in Silver) accessorizing this look very minimally – do you think this no-frills look works for her? DK made her way to Santa Barbara to support director Quentin Tarantino, who she became close with after filming Inglourious Basterds. Diane told the press: “He took a leap of faith on an actress who has so far only played Helen of Troy and did National Treasure. He sees me completely different. I feel Quentin gave me a great gift. No matter what impact this movie has on my career, or if it turns into a box office hit or not, I feel like I won the lottery.” How sweet of her!
