WOOED BY WU

Joining his many hot young Hollywood fans, Diane Kruger came out in support of designer Jason Wu at the preview of his Spring 2010 collection in West Hollywood on October 27. Diane arrived in a peppery gray fur coat (oh no she di'int!), which she removed once she headed inside Palihouse and got seated for the Vogue sponsored dinner party. Do you think the fur is unnecessary on the West coast in 70+ degree temps or is it all in the name of fashion? After the coat check Di unveiled a gorgeous green and black dot printed dress with a one shoulder neckline covered in dazzling Swarovski crystal accents (polka dot lovers try Susana Monaco's String Dress in Mod Dot or Pink Polka Dot's Kelly Floral Top in Green). I love Jason Wu and this look is made for Diane, although I'd remove the excess material on the front for someone else. DK completed the look with satin Roger Vivier heels, a shiny Hunting Season clutch (try Laura Matthews Designs' Patent & Lucite Clutch in Black) and a glittering bracelet (try Michele Michel's Heart Pearl Bracelet in Gray). What do you think of Di's look, magnificent or would you do it differently? At the event, DK had some very lovely things to say to the LA Times about the designer of the evening: "I love Jason. He's made a couple of really gorgeous dresses for me over the last few months. I think every dress he's ever made fits really great. I couldn't pick a favorite...every dress he does is sexy yet traditional. It appeals to young girls, but also to an older customer, too. He's like Chanel in that way." I agree completely with her that his dresses are amazingly tailored to her figure, but I'm not sure if I get the Chanel reference. Do you think Wu has a shot at designing items that can be on the same level as Chanel's timeless, classic pieces or will it take time to tell?
