Diane Kruger continues to solidify her status as a fashion risk-taker with an unapologetically bold sense of style. And while in Paris recently, she delivered a series of striking looks that combined vintage inspiration with a modern edge.
💫 Jump to Diane’s Paris Fashion Highlights:
At the Patou Spring/Summer 2026 show, held at Maison de la Chimie, Rue Saint-Dominique, Paris, France, Diane exuded a subtle countryside-meets-modern-muse energy in a monochromatic blue ensemble from the French fashion designer. The playful yet polished look was styled with open-toe sandals and a striped headscarf, adding vintage charm.
Ahead of PFW, she embraced full ethereal glamour in a vintage-style ivory gown by Alberta Ferretti at the 2025 Bal d’Été at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, celebrating the centennial of the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts.

From structured mod-inspired tailoring to a romantic silhouette, let’s take a closer look at Diane Kruger’s standout Paris ensembles.
Retro Romance in Blue: Diane Kruger’s Patou Skirt Suit, Headscarf & Gold-Heeled Sandals
Diane Kruger nailed retro glamour with a playful twist at the Patou show, wearing a cropped baby blue blazer made in Romania and a matching mini skirt crafted in Bulgaria.
The set is cut from lightweight organic cotton tweed in a Skylight Blue color that flattered Diane’s complexion. I love the jacket’s sharply tailored, clean silhouette, with a single-breasted construction, wide notched lapels, and cropped sleeves with a logo label on the left arm.
The jacket, priced at $1,585 at Farfetch, also featured high chest patch pockets and tonal buttons that kept the design sleek and cohesive. A single vent and a half-belt accent at the back brought a hint of tailored charm, adding a refined, whimsical touch to the cropped design.
Diane paired the blazer with its matching low-rise miniskirt, which had a back zip fastening and a wide buckled belt in the same sky-blue fabric, enhancing the ensemble’s retro-mod look. It’s currently on sale for $481 (from $685 at Farfetch).

Underneath the blazer, Diane layered a navy-and-white striped button-up shirt made in Madagascar from organic cotton poplin, adding a nautical edge to the look. It featured a subtly fitted, violin-inspired silhouette with a chic oversized collar, a buttoned front, and buttoned cuffs peeking from her jacket sleeves. It was tucked into the miniskirt, concealing the embroidered JP monogram on the front. An asymmetric hem, longer in the back, added a modern twist to the otherwise vintage-inspired tailored piece. You can get it on sale for $421 (from $713) at Farfetch.
The chic combination captures the effortlessly sophisticated vibe of someone stepping off a yacht in the French Riviera in the 1960s! It’s elegant yet with a runway-ready edge!
The ensemble was already striking, but Diane took it a step further with a striped headscarf that perfectly matched her shirt. It was worn loosely and tied beneath her golden hair, evoking a milkmaid vibe!

She added a subtle gleam to the look with gold-plated, heart-shaped, dangling earrings from Patou and a few rings, which complemented her Patou “Le Classic Lock” bag in Angora off-white leather. It featured an adjustable shoulder strap with gold rivets and hardware, as well as a gold art deco JP twist clasp at the front.

Diane rounded out her ensemble with navy blue mule sandals from Patou’s Spring 2025 collection. These sandals feature crisscross straps accented by small gold-tone hardware at the center, adding a pop of glam. They also have square toes that keep the silhouette modern, balancing out the retro tailoring of her skirt suit.
These mule sandals feature an open back and are set atop sturdy gold block heels that provide both height and comfort.

Ethereal Elegance: Diane Kruger’s Alberta Ferretti Gown at the 2025 Bal d’Été
Ahead of Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, Diane Kruger channeled whimsical elegance at the 2025 Bal d’Été in a dreamy ivory chiffon Alberta Ferretti gown, blending timeless romanticism with bohemian charm. The design featured a cape-style overlay that offered subtle drama, long, sheer sleeves, and a high neckline with a beautiful, soft bow, adding old-world sophistication.
Cascading tiered ruffles around the hips added texture and visual interest, enhancing its dreamy silhouette. It then flowed into a pleated, floor-sweeping, airy chiffon skirt, creating a sense of fluidity and grace with every step.
I adore how the gown struck the perfect balance between Old Hollywood glamour and ethereal whimsy!

Diane appeared to have skipped the jewelry, allowing the gown to take center stage. But the pink Olympia Le-Tan “Lovers” book-shaped clutch was a great addition, providing a striking contrast to the gown’s romantic silhouette.

The gown’s sweeping chiffon layers obscured her shoes, but a soft glimpse through the fabric showed what appeared to be another pair of mules, this time in a metallic gold or muted beige tone. They complemented the gown’s romantic aesthetic, while the high heels added just the right amount of lift, enhancing Diane’s graceful, elongated silhouette.
