DIANE: THE HIGH-FASHION PRO
Nominated by: Pamela Edwards
It shouldn't surprise you that Diane Kruger used to be a model – especially not after seeing her on the red carpet this year in one gorgeous couture ensemble after another. The star lives in Chanel, Marchesa and Prada – and wears them as effortlessly as if they were a pair of jeans. Two standout style moments, according to PEOPLE style and beauty editor Edwards: her embellished Jason Wu capelet at an event in Miami and her custom rose gold Vivienne Westwood gown in Cannes.
